When you’re dealing with an injury, or multiple injuries, it really messes with your mind. You’re supposed to be resting up so your body can heal. Resting equals idle body. Idle body equals mind that has way too much time to think about the idle body and how much it’s driving you insane to be idling … [Read more…]
How many of you exercise? Workout? Get the heart pumping? Go ahead, raise your hand. Do you ever get bored with exercising? I know I do.

When I started this running gig back in October, I heard some rumblings here and there about a site called www.dailymile.com.

I’m not the type of person who fishes for compliments. I do what I do here at the Sisterhood because I love it. It fulfills me. It makes me happy to know I’m providing motivation for someone else. I’ve even made some really wonderful friends here. Friends I cannot imagine my life without! April is … [Read more…]

Thank … [Read more…]
