Most of you do not know this but 2 years ago I sprained my right knee playing softball. Nothing too bad, just your twisted muscles wrapped all around your knee cap and all crazy. So anyways I went through therapy to get back to normal so I could play ball again. Well about a month after the doctor released me I slipped in a puddle of water at a restuarant, the lighting was ...

Drove to Charlotte yesterday and met my daughter, who lives in Atlanta to run in the 5K together. Charlotte, NC, is halfway between Raleigh and Atlanta. We had an awesome evening together, laughing, talking about the wedding, and just hanging out. Walked/ran the race this morning. It was tough for me, but I finished and am proud of myself for doing it. We are me...2 Recommendations10 Comments

I had a really great day today! I ran my seven miles this morning and it seemed to be harder than normal. Don't exactly know why, but some days it takes more effort than others to run the same distance (just like everything else! lol) Today was taco tuesday!! We had a great time eating our tacos and pico de gallo and chips! Yum! After tacos, Brian and I went to th...1 Recommendation10 Comments

I did a video about excess skin, it was nice and short, but Dailystrength has changed how they do video so I could not upload it. Check it out if you get a moment.

READ THIS VERY SLOWLY... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
I got to thinking one day about all those people on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cu...2 Recommendations10 Comments -
OMG my run was freaking fantabulous!! It was pitch dark outside when I set out @ 5:20 a.m. but by the time I reached my destination it was a least a little bit light outside. I have to say that running in the dark creeps me out. I took a slightly (maybel .25 mile at the most) shorter route to the pool and got there in 25 MINUTES!!!! OMFG! 2.75 miles, (probably more like 2.8) in 2...3 Recommendations8 Comments

It has been a truly incredible year. It feels like it was ages ago that I joined here in desperation, in hope that I would find some support in my far-fetched plan to lose 70 pounds... I will recap the story...
Between September 2006 and September 2007, I gained a total of 71.2 pounds. I was an athlete growing up and I rebelled completely from the idea of exerc...3 Recommendations11 Comments -
I have been for my first bike ride, (Saturday, June the 13th/09) since 2006 and it felt great. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, cardio sucked big time and legs felt like mush, for the riders here, yes my butt hurts today, you all know that pain.
It was just a ride on sandy roads, a ride around the block, eh in the country we have BIG BLOCKS, close to 15 miles. So it was not a century...1 Recommendation13 Comments -
