I have struggled with insomnia my entire life. As a kid I was generally the first one up in the mornings. As a college student, I'd get up in the middle of the night to watch old movies. The difference was back then it didn't make me tired. As a newlywed, I'd often wake up … Continue reading 5 Hacks for Better Sleep
10 Goals for a Great 2018
Expecting my 2018 Goals? Gotcha! I'm still working on my own. Are you still working on your goals for 2018? I know some people feel that goals are too stressful, but would you take a road trip without your phone? Of course, back in that day, it would be would you take a road trip … Continue reading 10 Goals for a Great 2018
Short & Sweet: 1/1- 7 Weekly Wrap
Kind of like me. Still battling that on again off again low grade temp. I'm not sick enough to not work out, and not quite feeling good enough to work out as much as normal. There's the horrible crud that's been making the rounds that lasts for weeks, and thankfully mine is not that bad. … Continue reading Short & Sweet: 1/1- 7 Weekly Wrap
Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
Hibernating would be great if I were living off my fat like a bear does. Except the only thing that really is hibernating is my activity -- unlike a bear, I'm still eating. I try to be more mindful and make better choices knowing that I'm not moving as much, but, as they say, #thestruggleisreal. … Continue reading Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
Running by the numbers in 2017
I am not a numbers person. I don't really track monthly or yearly mileage, although I have done a few yearly mileage challenges in the past. It just doesn't motivate me. What do I care about? My weekly mileage. Making sure it's where it should be for wherever I am in training. Making sure that … Continue reading Running by the numbers in 2017
Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Or a Tale of Two Christmas Trees Or really three Christmas trees. Like much of the nation our temperatures quickly plummeted this week. And didn't budge. Just like forecast. Throw in some snow, and I was right about those treadmill runs. The good news is that by Tuesday I was feeling back to normal. Hopefully … Continue reading Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Do you think about food: Runfessions December 2017
. . . as much as I do? All my runfessions seem to include at least one about food. Sometimes multiple runfessions about food. I admire you people who eat to live, I really do. I just enjoy my food far too much for that to be me -- but I have gotten better at … Continue reading Do you think about food: Runfessions December 2017
Looking back at 2017
And looking for those silver linings When I picked my word for 2017, I wrote about having the patience to see my training bear fruit (read about that here, and my word for 2018 here). Little did I know, that patience would be rewarded; in spades! January Rachel @ Runningonhappy offered a free month of … Continue reading Looking back at 2017
Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I was going along, running easy, and wham! On Tuesday I came down with some mild (thankfully) flu-like symptoms: extreme fatigue, mild muscle aches. I ran that day, but it was slow and quite frankly I probably shouldn't have, but I didn't realize that until I started to run. The odd thing was that after … Continue reading Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
5 Reasons Believe is my 2018 Word
2016's word was Respect (you can read that post here). 2017's word was Patience (you can read about that here). I am joining the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy to share why Believe is my 2018 word. Oddly, I didn't give Patience must thought in 2017. I didn't even remember … Continue reading 5 Reasons Believe is my 2018 Word
