Is lifted…..I have agonized and stressed out about this decision for a few weeks now. Always powering through it to get it done, but finally I decided to just do what made me happy and cut out the stress and crap. Of course, it was myself who was causing all the stress. What’s the big decision you ask…….I’ve decided not…

Time to Play Catch Up
Wow! Has it been over a week since my last post? Work, holiday, running….been a bit busy. I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I headed up to my sisters (every year!).

Week 3 Down and Acupuncture?!
Saturday was the end of week 3 of training. I feel a little behind because I took Week 3 off! – Except for Saturday. I had some really bad back pain. Hurt so bad I wanted to cry. There was no way I was going to run. I have had it before and it usually will subside and get better. …

It was supposed to start at 6pm, however with such a large group, getting everyone gathered took a bit. We didn’t “start” till around 6:10p, mind you, I got there early, so I was waiting…
Re-Energized – La Partie Deux (Part Two)
Not only have I reenergized my Blog, but I’m also reenergizing another goal in my life – Running. I have been running fairly consistently for the past 3 years. Always just for exercise and fitness. Last year I tried a “reenergizing” plan for running and signed up for a half marathon. Needless to say, that plan didn’t work and I…
