So my life is, what are the words? Barely organized chaos. We run from thing to thing, half the time I can’t find my keys and the other half, when I do find them, the car needs gas. The kids are always needing something signed or they need to be driven somewhere or somethings is […]
Week 6 of Marathon Training! Where We Are And How I’m Doing!
How did we get to WEEK SIX?? Crazytown, I tell you. “It is too true, Peter. Time does fly.” Captain Hook (as played by Dustin Hoffman) I have to tell you this has been my strongest week yet. Yes, for sure the weather was a HUGE factor in my re-gaining my running mojo, but also […]
Do You Need to Do Something Scary?
I recently did something really scary. What I did is not important (well, it’s important to me but not so much for you). What IS important is that I was terrified. I still am. But I knew deep in my soul, which I think is deeper than my gut, that it was the right thing. […]

Disney World Marathon Training Week 5!
Week 5 just had to be better than week 4. I just knew it would be. I had to believe it would be. And . . . IT SO WAS!!!!! I just got home from my long run and (spoiler alert) it was unbelievably awesome. More on that in a minute. Here’s how the week […]
Why I Love Criticism
I have not always been known to take feedback well. I’m hoping I’m not alone in this, but I truly don’t enjoy being told that anything I’ve done, ever, is anything less than perfect. I realize that’s unrealistic, and yet I continue to live life like this is the reality. When someone points out an […]
