Remember how I said I was going to go get a hard-core lifting session in with the sis last night? We went and my arms are sore today.  We were about to jump on the elliptical after lifting but then we looked outside.  It was dusk and the perfect temperature so we decided to go [...]

This morning was glorious.  I slept in. No gym for this woman.  I am going tonight with my sis to get some hard core lifting in and so Wednesday morning was meant for getting out of bed at 7:21 and making it to school at 7:45. I know some of you don’t believe me but [...]

Yes, the first joint purchase Billy and I ever made together was a tv the size of our wall.  We stil do not own a washer or dryer and yes, we still have to use towels to block the holes in our house that lead directly to the outside world to prevent critters from getting [...]

WOW. While I was running on my treadmill this morning I watched an Ironman documentary on Hulu that a reader recommended for me to watch.  It was beyond incredible.  I cried 4 times throughout my run because of the show.  Poor Billy had to listen to it at 6 a.m. too because I had the [...]

I know I haven’t really mentioned it on the blog very much but I am doing a century ride tomorrow. Sorry to leave you in the dark about so many of my life events because I don’t really share very much about my life, family and fitness with you, maybe I will get better at [...]

Obviously we all LOVE working out because we physically feel SO MUCH BETTER but another reason I love to work out is because it gives me time to THINK CLEARLY and REMEMBER PAST EVENTS. Today’s workout thoughts revolved around what delicious dessert I should make tonight, why I was only wearing one sock and WHY [...]

I was lucky enough to catch a picture of the sweat just about to drip off of my nose, just for you.  Hopefully, you can still eat your lunch after this. I was wearing shorts, I promise.  They were BOOTY shorts because anything goes when you workout at home! I clocked in a beautiful 3.2 [...]

Now that I am getting back into running I refuse to run two days in a row for a while.  It is going to be tough now that I have that wonderful taste in my mouth of how marvelous running is but I know that it is going to be the best thing to prevent [...]
