I used to think a 5k was easy. Let me be honest. I used to think a 5k was “too short” or in other words beneath me as I was a more “accomplished’ runner and did 10k’s and half marathons and had aspirations to do a full marathon. And then I stopped running. I stopped […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! The Boomerang Effect of Great Ideas!
October 20, 2016 by
So a couple of years ago I had this idea. I have no idea where it came from but it certainly came from a place of love. We had 5 of our 6 grandchildren in quick succession. One a year for 5 years ( 2 are only 5 months apart)! Whoa! I barely had time […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday…Cherishing those 45 seconds
August 25, 2016 by
It was a busy weekday afternoon. Nothing out of the ordinary. Life at my daughters’ house was full of kids, laughter, teasing and loud voices. The voice of urgency to get everyone ready for soccer practice rang out a familiar tune as kids ran around getting things together, filling water bottles, looking for lost shoes. […]
How I “became” a “real” runner on Saturday!
November 18, 2015 by
I recently read a comment from a fellow runner on another blog that said despite the fact she had run 20 marathons ( yes 20!) she still didn’t consider herself a “real” runner. WHAT??? 20 marathons is 524 miles….whoa. It got me to thinking what makes someone feel like a “real” runner. Obviously completing […]

How my exercise “cheat” turned awesome
September 2, 2015 by
So I have to admit that this summer hasn’t been the best for me on consistency with my running or any kind of exercise. Not that I haven’t been active. Between hanging out with my very active 6 grandkids, running up and down the halls at the hospital, yard work and my dog I haven’t […]
Thoughtful Thursday??? In a backwards sort of way
July 2, 2015 by
If you follow my posts you know the hubs was home for a week. If you missed it you can read it here and if you are really curious how all that started you can read about it on this post. He left me with a mowed lawn, a powered washed house and new tires […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! Are you guilty of this bad social media habit?
June 4, 2015 by
Social media has led me to develop some bad habits. Shocking I know. Let me just add those to the list of my less than desirable habits that even annoy me. The top of that list is forgetting to close cupboard doors (or any door for that matter). I have been painfully reminded of this […]
Finding joy in starting over…
May 26, 2015 by
I just went for a run. The first in a very very long time. The list of reasons is unbelievably long. Everything from traveling, to bad weather, to hating the “dreadmill” to the simple “I don’t wanna do it” Of course, when I decided enough was enough and it was time to get out there […]
