Walk it Out
You win some, you lose some. I lost some. Stamina that is. Tonight was my running class. Somehow going in tonight I just knew it was not going to be stellar. The course was simple a 1.5 mile run to our starting point, then two timed mile intervals, and another mile back to “home base.” [...]

Oh boy… I have worked very hard over the years to separate feelings of guilt and food, and for the most part I think I’ve been pretty successful. My goal is generally not to go to extremes–and that seems to keep me from succumbing to food related crazy. Well, back in June I got a [...]

Well consider me humbled. For the last few months I’ve been leaving running class feeling like a rock star, so much so that the instructors pretty much ordered me to move up to a new level last week. This week was my first week as an “intermediate” level runner. Here’s the difference between intermediate and [...]

Happy Sunday! I never post on the weekend, seeing as how I like to give my fingers a wee bit of a break from the internet once and a while, but one of my August resolutions was to be more proactive in regard to planning my weeks. So, as I sat down at my computer [...]

My brain has been totally fried for a few days now, and it’s left me a bit frazzled, a bit scattered, I really do feel bad for anyone who has dared try to engage me in conversation. I woke up today, my day off, and decided that enough was enough. No amount of money is [...]

I finally get it. Running. I get it. When I run in the gym on the treadmill I feel like I get a killer workout, but I never really understand why people love running. I think I get it now, and I think I get that it doesn’t happen on a treadmill…at least not for [...]

Last night my running coach said something along the lines of: ”You’re almost done with training, you should start thinking about what you’re going to reward yourself with. Perhaps some fancy new running gear.” Well you don’t have to tell me twice! Seriously, woman, why do you plant these ideas in my head? It never [...]
Read more »These Hands Were Made for Standing
I did a handstand! Okay, it was an assisted handstand, but I was there, standing on my hands for a good twenty seconds. That is a major yoga goal of mine. I’m pretty sure my lack of hand-standing skills is mostly mental, so I’m hoping that now that I’ve officially done it my brain will [...]

Guilty pleasure admission time. I really like Celtic Thunder. Can’t help it, whenever I see this amalgamation of man-band on TV I get sucked in. That’s what happened today as I decided to relax a little while I waited for my tofu to bake and rice to boil; I turned on the TV and don’t [...]
