My Body Reminds Me

July 28, 2010

* I wrote this on my phone last night when I couldn't get to sleep. Also, feet/leg picture in the post. If you're weirded out by feet, don't look! I'm so ready to go home tomorrow * When I'm in the gym, there are times where I feel like I'm just like everyone else. I can ...

You don’t always have to like it

07.21.2010

Tomorrow is it!

07.16.2010

The Bluegrass State Games 5K Run/Walk is tomorrow! Can you believe it? A nearly 400 pound person doing a 5K. Trainer Rob wants me to do it as high intensity, meaning there will be some sprints in there. I’m hoping to finish in under an hour. That may not seem like much to some, but …
