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. […] It’s that time again. Time where I review my week in anticipation of tomorrow OWiS. This will be #25 since starting this journey. This week has seen some great accomplishments and yet tonight I feel out of sorts. I was supposed to meet with Superman today but he had to cancel at the […] I’m not even sure where to begin talking about my experience yesterday. It was fantastic. It was emotional. It was hard. It was awesome. It was challenging. It was fun. It was inspiring. And it was damn near the toughest thing I’ve had to do in a long time (except for today’s session with […] Oh man I am feeling so much better. It’s amazing what 24 hours away from an emotionally draining situation can do for your psyche. I slept pretty damn good. I’ve easily consumed my gallon of water. My food intake has been healthy. I had a great session with Superman this morning. Hard to believe […] It’s that time of the week again folks. The time where I review the last seven days in preparation for OWiS #18. I do this to help me remember this journey isn’t about numbers but about becoming a healthier me. It’s also about taking control of my life and moving closer to what I […] It’s Wednesday. I”m sore.

Yesterday I got on the elliptical for 60 minutes and sweated my […] The weather has been relentless in these parts. Downpours, 50 mph winds, and 40 degree temperatures do not make for good running conditions for a newbie like me. This morning was no exception. I don’t want to put off running just because of the weather so today I took a deep breath and […] It’s official. I can now buy this beautiful shirt. I’ve worked nine long weeks to be able to say I can wear this shirt and know it to be true. I woke up early this morning with that “runner’s anticipation” in my stomach. That nervousness in the pit of your stomach that starts […]
As most of you know I am finishing up my c25k program this week. I have one more session… One more. Then I’m on my own to figure out where I want to take this whole running thing. I’m a little nervous that once the program is over I’ll lose […] In case your as inept at the anatomy of the human body as I am, here is where I give you a little picture post about what I’m talking about. These little beauties are you Deltoids. Today they have made themselves known to me. It’s from the swimming I did yesterday (30 laps). I […] |
