Running Shoes: BEFORE So here’s the thing. I had this whole post planned with the title: You Don’t Expect Me to Run Up THAT, Do You? And the post was about the Wild Wild Wilderness Run hosted by the Kennekuk Road (and must.not.forget.the.TRAIL) Runners a couple months ago. That trail featured 7.55 miles of pure [...]

Poor HH. He tries. He really does. Thanksgiving is a Very Challenging Day for someone trying to lose weight. And for me, it was my third day on Weight Watchers. It was also a day I elected to go on a 10-mile run in the morning. My master plan was to earn enough Activity Points [...]
Rest. Day. Ahhhh.

Yesterday was a wonderful family day. Yesterday was a 10-mile run day. Today is a Rest Day. Who knew after you’re 40 your body does most of its hard work when you’re actually resting? Photo Credit Ahhhh. Life is good.

Happy Thanksgiving! Image Credit I am planning on celebrating this holiday in the same way I celebrate everything special these days: by going for a run! I have a 10-miler scheduled for this weekend, so since I have no intention of hauling this body through the fine streets of our little community while full of [...]
Some Days…

Photo Credit Some days I run for all the right reasons. Some days I run so I don’t kill people. Running is cheaper than therapy. And safer for my PITs (Pains in The Tail) than knitting, my other stress-reliever. (If you’ve ever seen size 2, 12″ straight knitting needles, you’d know exactly what I mean by [...]

Me: (Happily discovering that another food I like is cheap-o WW points) Yes! Princess: (Spying on me instead of picking up her room) Mom, what are all the points for? Me: (Ignoring the question) Is your room done? Princess: (Ignoring the question) Are those points anything like Webkinz Kinzcash? Me: (I’m hooked. She got me.) [...]

I did it. I signed up for Weight Watchers three days before Thanksgiving. Which proves that: EITHER I am completely desperate to not be carrying the equivalent weight of a preschool toddler the 26.2 miles of the marathon I’m running in February OR I have truly lost it. I vote for both. It’s rally time, friends. [...]
