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.  [...]

5K

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.

Time to chime in on this New Year’s Resolution.  It may be tooting my horn, but it doesn’t feel like it.  In fact, it feels a bit like good news/bad news
2. To shape up physically.  I’ve never been petite and won’t pretend to be.  I am 6 ft tall, big boned, and have put on [...]

running my….

Well, let’s just say I am trying to run.   It’s good for a person to exercise.  I’ve successfully added Yoga into my routine and I feel it when I miss a class.  This week I started running.
I think I am going to die
Okay, I’m kidding about that…mostly.  During my first mile run I was wondering [...]
