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
Well everyone, it is finally Spring in New England. For many of us it felt like July yesterday – with highs in the upper 80s, which was a big much. In the Boston area, winter decided to finally arrive in March and it was freezing and we had quite a bit of snow. It was…… Continue reading Spring has Sprung (finally)
Happy New Year, blog readers! I hope you all had a wonderful first day of the year. For me the day started off with a real treat – a breakfast of Kodiak Cakes (we have the mix with extra protein and the SC made the flapjacks with milk and an egg which adds more protein!),…… Continue reading The New Year

When I woke up this morning, I almost started getting ready for work because my brain was positive it was a work day and not a weekend. Thankfully it only took me a moment to remember it was Saturday. I…… Continue reading Saturday Morning

I wonder if Spring is going to stick around for a couple of weeks this time…. we had a taste of spring last weekend and then we had snow and ice on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. My car was covered in ice on Wednesday morning. It made getting to work a…… Continue reading Eats and Runs
Yesterday was Saint Patrick’s day. A lot of people celebrated and a lot of people drank a lot of beer. Not me (unfortunately). I did not even one beer yesterday. Not even a sip of beer. What did I do instead, you ask? I ran a very slow half marathon. I finished the race, and…… Continue reading A Slow Half…
I always tell myself that recovery and comebacks have to start somewhere. I guess my road back into serious training started on Friday night. On my way home from work, I stopped by Dunkin’ Donuts and ordered a small coffee with milk and no sugar, in hopes that the caffeine would help me get to…… Continue reading Somewhere
Hi Everyone: I haven’t written a post in a while, and the East Coast is going through a lot right now. This week we were hit with Sandy – the worst damage was to the South of Rhode Island in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Now the work of cleaning up and trying to…… Continue reading Sandy
