This past week has been a huge struggle for me, workout wise. I’m hurting, and it’s kind of freaking me out. I listened to some of my fellow Sisters last week in one of our Team in Training conference calls, who were having a hell of a week LAST week. The OHMYLORDIMUSTBEOUTOFMY MIND week. Pretty [...]
This weekend, I went for my long run for Team in Training. Most runs, I let my mind go blank, forgetting about stresses and troubles and to-do lists at home. I let my mind go free from all of it, letting my iPod pound out good music in my ears. And this weekend’s run was [...]

I know we have tons of runners in the Sisterhood, and even more wanna-be runners (like myself!), and we are all capable of walking. There is no better motivation than participating in an event for a good cause! Everywhere you look, you can find 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and even marathons and they are often [...]
