Running

I started my running almost 6 years ago and haven’t looked back? I’m a slower runner, but I usually get to the finish line or back to the car. It ‘s how I control diabetes, keep my sanity, and maintain my sparkling personality. Ask anyone what happens if I skip a few days of running. My sparkling personality is the last thing they will tell you. Slightly cranky is what they will say.

Run away

January 25, 2012

The week is off to a much better start than last week. But I did my first week of my Crossfit Endurance half training plan.

St. Jude Marathon race report

December 5, 2011

It still hasn’t sunk in. But it better, because I’m doing this again! Short version: great race, exceptional organization, and I’m probably spoiled for life with the exceptional service from the directors. I finished. And I did it before they closed the course. Long version: I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Even if [...]

Why St. Jude?

December 1, 2011

Miracles. They happen every day at St. Jude and a family in Tennessee prays for one every day. My sister and her friend were expecting babies within 3 months of each other in 2010. One boy and one girl. And they were perfect. They still are We fell in love with our little Jackson and [...]

Why I run with music-playlist included

November 21, 2011

I know running with music is not safe. I shouldn’t run with it on the roads. I shouldn’t run with music on the trails, either. I could miss the sounds of crazed psychos who stalk young women who appear vulnerable. I’m not being sarcastic about that. It happened in Georgia. She wasn’t wearing music, but [...]
