I’m really not good at the bike. I don’t really have a great bike. Just a $75 yard sale mountain bike, that is probaly too long for me. I feel like I’m pedaling to beat the band, but I’m not going anywhere. Going up hill, sometimes, I’m afraid I’ll have to [...]

Well it wasn’t pretty, but I got er done. My heel hurt and I wasn’t all that excited about going. I warmed up and stretched at home, and spent most the time before the race visiting. They fired the gun and I started off slowly. Then about 75 yards in, a [...]

Oh my gosh. I’m supposed to run a 5k Saturday. I haven’t done much running at all this month. Here I have recruited people, at work, to get up and start walking. They are going to join me at this run. They will be seeing me in “action” for the [...]

It’s been 3 weeks that I’ve slacked off. One week rest after the half. Then I ran a little, but it didn’t feel very good. And last week I had a goofy schedule at work, and said, “To heck with it.” I did get my master bathroom painted though. (does [...]

I had a good run this a.m.. Not quite so sore, and I made the 4 miles without stopping. However, while I was running and thinking, I came to the conclusion that I am full of ish. I want to lose weight, but not enough to control what I put into my [...]

How the heck did I run 13 miles last weekend? I barely made 3.4 today. LOL My poor little hip flexors were crying, “Oh the pain, please stop torturing us!”
It really wasn’t that bad. I was just aware of my weakness, and I believe I have a remedy. When I taught [...]

O.K. my half is done, time to set some new goals. I would like to conquer my hand to mouth disease. I am 5′7″ and weigh 148. At my leanest and meanest the best I could get was 135 for about a month. I was teaching aerobics, living single, and eating [...]
