The last couple of weeks I had been doing such a great job getting back into my running. I ran five miles on Sunday, on Thursday the same week I went to my first running group in my neighborhood and ran 3 miles. In between I did a couple of miles a few times as…… Continue reading You win some, you lose some
A couple of years ago I hit a running wall. I was so sick and tired of running. I didn’t want to do it anymore and when I did it was a CHORE. It was not a fun time in my life, because for years running was my thing. It was what I did when…… Continue reading Listen to your body
Over this past weekend I spent a couple of hours on food prep for the work week. I made salads for lunch and egg sandwiches for breakfasts.

Hello blog readers! How is the beginning of your week going? So far things are falling into place for me – always a good thing. On Monday morning I had whole grain english muffin with peanut butter for breakfast. It hit the spot – I just love peanut butter on Monday mornings! It makes sort…… Continue reading Beginning of the week
