On Facebook this morning, the first thing I saw was a note from the Run Like a Diva group asking if we’d done our long run yet this weekend. That got me out the door. I should have started long runs last week but I had a stomach bug and running was not on...

This is a post I wrote last year around this time and reading back, I realized that it is really relevant to my life again now, so I’m re-running it. I’ve been on vacation this week and will be back to regular posting tomorrow. But this has always been one of my favorites! Recently,...

Staying on track from a food perspective has been tricky these past few months. And I plan on getting that back in order just as soon as I can. Today will be a good day. Tomorrow will be a good day. Then I’ll have VACATION. This weekend I head off to a family reunion,...

I went for my second run this week. It’s still hot. But not nearly as hot as it was on Wednesday. Again, as I write this post it’s raining, which we’ve been told will bring in more scorching heat tomorrow, however short-lived. With the impending rain, it was humid again this morning too, but...

I went for an outside run this morning. 2.5 miles. Yay! I surprised myself, in a good way. It’s been pretty much a month since I’ve run anywhere other than the treadmill. And my treadmill runs have been pretty awful. Lots of walking. I think that’s a mental thing between me and the treadmill...

I went to the doctor today about my hip. I’m cleared to run! On the treadmill for at least the next week, but that’s a start. I also have to go to physical therapy for some intense stretching but the problem with my hip is minor and running won’t make it worse. Won’t make...

Warning: This post may be whiny. I went walking/running this morning after taking six days off from running… yet again. Now the issue seems to be with my hip. I’m not sure what’s going on with me this year, but since outdoor running season started again in around March, I keep hurting myself. First...

While I haven’t had much time for blogging lately because of projects I’m working on, I have been getting back on track with my workouts. I got in a couple of runs this week, including a 3.2 miler on Thursday that went better than expected and this morning was my hill walk, 6ish miles....
