30 day paleo challenge…

When I was losing weight I felt in most in control when I had a plan.

An eating plan and an exercise plan.

When I am only doing one (i.e. an exercise plan) and not the other (i.e. an eating plan) both sort of fall to the wayside. The […]

Week 8 Marathon Training (9 to go)…

This has been a great week for running / moving.

I moved a total of 37 miles (7 more than last week) and I am finally at the half way mark for both time and mileage. I should have hit the half way point last week but the snow cut my […]

Week 7 Marathon training (10 to go)

I am breathing more easily…

Not in the sense that I was physically not feeling well. But rather in the sense that I am emotionally feeling more together. Taking the break from being attached to social media has helped immensely. I put my phone away and only opened the laptop when I wanted […]

When 14 miles turns into WTF?!?…

I had everything planned out. The route was ready to go. I visualized in my mind about just being outside for a few hours and not worrying about anything except getting some miles in today.

Unfortunately Mother Nature had a whole other plan.

It snowed.

Week 5 marathon training (13 to go…)

Last week was a low point.

By comparison, this week was a high point.

This was a great week for me as a runner. As someone who is continually pushing through barriers (mostly the one’s in my own mind) I needed this week like it was no one’s business. […]

Are you moving or dying?

I ran today.

4 miles.

Everything was wonky.

I didn’t really care.

Week 4 marathon training (14 to go)…

Last week was a tough week.

Because of some serious pain in my feet, I choose to skip two scheduled runs. I ran a total of 12 miles and that 4 mile marker over there is from a long day of walking in hopes of keeping my feet stretched out so […]

Random Generator spit out the winner of the Aquaphor products!

That’s Jacksh*t!

Week 3 Marathon training (15 to go)…

This is me.

Yes I am dressed like a taco.

A holy hell if I had balls they’d be frozen to my thighs cold taco.

This was taken yesterday (February 5th) and the weather was a chilly 9F. Factor in the wind chill and it was a […]

Eating…huh?

Confession: I don’t like to eat.

I know it sounds abrupt and general in terms of the concept of eating but for the most part I really don’t like to do it. Some days it’s so much of a chore (read: emotionally) that it’s easier for me to just have a smoothie […]
