Insight into what the new runner on the treadmill beside you might be thinking: It’s only 90 seconds, you can do anything for 90 seconds…well, almost anything, surely running for 90 seconds isn’t so bad. Focus on the gal to your left, she’s just walking. Don’t look at the crazy person on your right that [...]

couch to 5K- week 4

Injury However, I am not giving up. I am pretty sure it happened at work. At least, it didn’t hurt until the morning after my last shift and has hurt since. I slipped that night at the dishwashing station in some standing water, but I won’t get into that as I will get grumpy. [...]

You guessed it, I am still one busy gal. Really, does life ever slow down? School starts in THREE WEEKS! Just in the next couple days I am going to my sister’s musical about 2 hours away, planning, making cakes, and having a small birthday party for the twins, and going to my other sister’s [...]

Quick post just because I have a minute and can: For some reason I am working four night this week. This after being gone every evening the last two weeks for the older two girls’ rehearsals (they were in a local musical.) My husband misses me, the twins ask everyday when I am leaving….I am [...]

I can’t believe that I didn’t update on here how I did on my race. The whole family went to the small-town festival and race. My parents, my Mother-in-Law, my kids, and then husband, his brother, and Iran. My BIL joined in last minute and it was really great to visit some pre and post race. [...]

Still going strong (for me). I ended up doing an extra 5 minutes tonight for a grand total of 35 minutes walking/running and a total distance of 2.5 miles. I’m pleased with my progress, am looking forward to stepping it up a notch next week, and am planning on following the program for my first 5k on Friday night. [...]

If you have read my previous post, I am training myself to run a 5K (3.1 mile) race in 9 weeks with a free program called Couch to 5K. The podcasts I mentioned in the last post are really working great for me. They are keeping me motivated and letting me know when it is time to run or [...]

I did it and it went well. I am sure the running and walking I’ve been doing the past month helped. I am not sure that this is for a true couch potato, though. If you have never been active in your life, this could be a major challenge for you. If it were me, [...]
