httpv://youtu.be/JKJo67TMmec This past Sunday, I completed my third half-marathon. I am not a runner, nor do I really care if I ever am. Some may say it’s their legs that get them through long races, I say it’s my heart. I didn’t quite train as much as I had intended, funny how life gets in [...]

I haven’t participated in True Confessions in the past two months because the confessions are too many and I am embarrassed. I haven’t participated whole-heartedly in this challenge because my heart just hasn’t been *in it*. I haven’t watched what I ate I watched it while I ate it, lol. I am still training for [...]
Knock knock. Anyone there? It looks like some of us have lost our get up and go. In my case, my get up and go has gone up in smoke and flames, heavy on the flames. The last four weeks have been incredibly stressful and busy for me and dare I say it- the first [...]

I am a runner. I also like to spin, lift weights and Zumba! But in my heart, I am a runner. However, there are things in running that I avoid because it hurts, it’s out of my comfort zone, it makes me breathe harder blah blah blah. Mainly speedwork and running hills. Yeah, I could [...]
