Bad News: It’s official; I have a stress fracture in my foot. Good News: It’s not a bad one and it’s already started to show signs of healing. Bad News: I can’t run for 4-6 weeks, Good News: I can still do upper body exercises and after 10-14 days I can bike. Bad News: This [...]
Catch up time. There are a few things I’ve been needing to share here and haven’t yet, so here goes the laundry list of everything including the kitchen sink. MIRACLE MILES 15K I know at first it might seem like that’s a typo and that maybe I really meant to type “5K”, but it’s for [...]
Yep, I’m *officially* registered for the Disney Half-Marathon as of today. I can’t even tell you how exhilarating it was to click the submit button! There’s definitely no turning back now. Not that I intended to turn back at all, but it’s like all official now and stuff. I’m running to support Caleb’s Crusade, so [...]
This post is long overdue. And it’s going to be a long one. It’s no secret that I struggled pretty bad last month. Thankfully, I’m making strides now to “come back” and re-lose what I gained. I’m getting my mojo back and I sure don’t want to lose it again…so that’s where this post comes [...]

It’s been a very surreal day. What could I say that the picture doesn’t already? In this case a picture is worth a thousand million words. When I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a “1″ before my weight, I wanted to run through my house and scream to the top of my [...]
I weighed in this morning at 202.8 lbs which is a 2.2 lb loss for the week. This brings my total weight loss so far to 53.2 pounds. I’m sooooo close now. Could I possibly hit ‘onederland’ by next week? Bliss. The last time I remember being under 200 was about 12 years ago – I [...]

After reading all of your comments on my last post about becoming a runner, my heart is full of gratitude tonight. Thank you all so much for helping me see what I couldn’t see two days ago; that I AM already a runner. I was so inspired by all of this running dialogue, that I [...]
I want to be a runner. Have I mentioned that before? Here, let me say it again, lest there be any doubt. I want to be a runner. I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to the progress I’ve made in my running and trying to formulate a plan to help me take it [...]
