After the devastation in Moore, OK, yesterday, I’ve had it with death and dying. There’s just been so many major events in the last few months – really if you go all the way back to Sandy Hook Elementary. Then we had Boston. And West, TX. And the tornado in Granbury, TX, just last week. […]
Wow!! So it’s been A WHOLE YEAR of Running For My Life! Woohoo!
I bought the blog a birthday bagel. But since blogs can’t eat, I ate it. When I started this blog, one year ago today, it was for the express purpose of getting men and women who might be stuck – emotionally, physically, spiritually – to see how regular exercise, and specifically running, might be part […]
Why My Running Has Everything to Do With Mother’s Day
So I wasn’t going to write today but sometimes words just beg to get out of me and so here I sit, next to the beautiful roses my husband gave me and wearing the gorgeous bracelet my boys presented me with this morning. I’ve been thinking about my kids all day (typical of us moms, […]
One Week In to the 5K May 30 day Challenge! How Am I Holding Up?
So, I was trying to find some expert advice to advise, encourage or otherwise justify the nutty task I’ve undertaken this month of running a 5K every day. I know how I feel and what it’s done to me, but figured I’d try and find some expert articles or encouragement or something. Have you ever […]
5K MAY EVE!! Getting Ready for The 30 Day Challenge
It’s been a very busy (for me) running season. It really started last October when I ran Chicago, then I had the WDW Marathon in January, the Princess Half Marathon in February, and just last Saturday, the GE Irving Half Marathon. So that’s a lot of big goals in only 6 months and a lot […]
The Day AFTER A Half Marathon – Evidently Part 3 of 3
So I hadn’t originally planned for this to be three days in a row of blogging, but having done the day before my half and the day of, seems only logical I would write, real time, about what I’m experiencing today, the day AFTER my half marathon. First off let me say to my looney […]
GE Irving Las Colinas Half Marathon! April 27, 2013
It was a fantastic morning for a run!! There was a great spirit in the air that runners have anyway, but especially after the events of last week, we were all there together and I loved it. I adore the running community and it’s truly what keeps me doing these crazy things. I had been […]
What I Do The Day Before A Big Race and Run Disney is Trying To Take Away My Kid’s College
So, since this is Friday, and the GE Irving Marathon is TOMORROW, and since I’m living it in real time, thought I’d share some of my pre-race routine. I’m going to post a couple of articles, too, because as we know, I don’t REALLY know what I’m talking about, I just steal things from other […]
If You’ve Been at The Finish Line of a Marathon You know – thoughts on Boston
Forgive me if this is clunky, poorly worded, filled with typos and awkward. But I make sense of things by writing about them. Or at least it helps. So you can all join me as I try to make my way through the muck. As I watched the news today there were a few scenes […]
