I did it, 20 classes this week (Mon-Fri) at the Y! Not 25 minute lunch break classes, but classes running from 50 minutes up to an hour twenty each. There was one time when I was ready to give up, but even when our team didn’t need it, I finished one more class tonight because I knew [...]

The girls were working hard at an art project while I snuck in a bit of rest today. 18 classes at the Y so far since Monday and while I am glad tomorrow is Friday and the end of the challenge, a part of me will miss it. I’ve learned all sorts of things [...]

I had planned on posting a beautiful picture of the sunset today. I noticed it when I put the dog out the back door and quickly got my camera to try to capture it. The colors were so beautiful! Then I went to our local Y where I took leave of my senses and let [...]
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. [...]
Couch to 5K week 1 and week 2

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 [...]
Couch to 5K week one, run one

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, [...]
