Who am I?

05.15.2011

The past week has been a mixed bag. I’m super busy at work, have a million things I want to write, projects I want to do, outside commitments to fulfill, and FitBloggin’ preparations for this upcoming week. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE being busy, however it doesn’t always mean great things for my …

Busted!

05.05.2011

One of my worst fears from early on in my weight loss journey happened to me today. After losing 112 pounds, I popped a stability ball! Picture this: I drag my groggy self into the gym around 5:45am. I go straight into my weight circuits, and things are fine. I’m in a groove, the machines I …

Walk (or Run) This Way

05.01.2011

This weekend, I’ve seen some wonderful Twitter and Facebook updates from friends who have competed in various 10K’s, half marathons and full marathons either yesterday or today. People excited for personal records (PRs), excited for finishing a new distance, etc. Since my half-marathon, I’ve tried to reshape the accomplishment in my mind. The way that I …

8 Miles

03.26.2011

I can’t believe it. The RunTheBluegrass half marathon is next Sunday. Yikes! This morning, Holli and I met up to tackle 8 miles. She and I were both dragging due to late nights watching UK make it to the Elite 8. We set off, and thankfully she and I were both of the opinion that speed …

11.5 Miles

03.19.2011

Phew. After last weeks 8.4 mile disaster, I knew I needed to figure something out for this week. Cue even DIFFERENT orthotic insoles (different size than what the podiatrist gave me), moleskin, compression socks and company. The always-lovely Amber headed out with me early this morning to try to tackle 11 miles, even though she only …

Workout Music Mania

03.11.2011

So, my usual half-marathon training buddies are both occupied with other things tomorrow, so it looks like I’m going to attempt 11 miles on my own! I’m going to train close to my house in case my husband needs to come pick my ass off the ground if needed. In preparation for the LONG solitude, I …

3 miles

03.06.2011

This morning I taped my feet and headed out to meet Holli (The Great Askini) and Lisa (a “regular” at the Saturday morning striders group) for half marathon training. My feet didn’t quite hurt as bad as they did yesterday, but they still didn’t feel right. After about 1.5 miles, I decided I would stop when …
