I’ts good to be back after having to take off a week because of a lower back problem. 3 trips to the chiropractor finally got me staightened out. Thank God. It’s very scary to go from, He Man Woman, to OMG I can’t lift a half gallon of milk. Hopefully I [...]

Today I got together with friends to run the Challange. It is a 16 mile relay, for fun, across the Rez, along a beautiful river and reservoir. After last weekends “waterskiing” incident, my back, which I thought had healed up, decided to go on strike. I made it gently through my week [...]

Oh my gosh, today I tried to learn to water ski, at 45 years of age. I thought sure my legs would be strong enough to get up, but no. I was close but so far away. LOL My husband said I was up as far as my legs could take me, [...]

My poor old fat legs took a beating this week. I so want to be a “stud” and run oodles of miles like some of you. I know it’s going to take time, and I am determined to get there. I’m feeling stronger everyday, and think I’m finally over that horrible slump [...]

I thought I found a good 1.5 mile hill to run. Turns out it’s really rocky and pretty steep in places. I had to walk quite a bit. Next week I will try the other side of the highway. I am a coward. There are plenty of hills around, [...]
