While I can’t give a huge recap of the race from my phone, I do want to share about the race since it’s been almost a month and I’ve not written about it. It was an amazing weekend from expo to finish and my only complaint is that they didn’t have a plan B for… Continue reading Disney wine and dine half marathon.

Gosh, it’s been such a busy week that I haven’t had time to sit down to unwind and write. Honestly, I’ve been battling writers block terribly this week, so rather than just babble I decided to give myself a few days and see if I could come up with something… Well, it’s been almost a… Continue reading Grandma’s Marathon training, week 10, DONE!

I ran a… Continue reading Fear and frustration = FUEL for marathon motivation

Today is a new day. My daughter, the tough little cookie she is, is doing fine…I think Mom took it harder than daughter when reality slapped us in the face.

I’ve lost it…

In the past several weeks, going on just over a month actually, I have lost my motivation to run. Between the MasterChef gig, and ITB issues, running has been on the back burner in my life since my last half marathon in late September. So looking at the calendar with my last half marathon for 2014… Continue reading I’ve lost it…
