By Jove! I’ve got it! I figured out my burn speed and it is very very ridiculously slow. Those are some sloooow miles! Ha ha! But I’m totally cool with it. It feels good to run slower, I enjoy it more, I can talk more, I don’t feel like I’m dying quite as much… I … [Read more…]
I have been really been struggling lately. I know I’ve talked a little bit about recommitting to things, being better about diet, being more consistent with exercise, but I haven’t talked about what has had me in the tailspin. First, you should know that within two weeks of hitting 229.8 (for about 37 seconds) I … [Read more…]
The heat. We’ve hit on that, I’m know, but I thought dealing with the heat was really just a mind over matter kind of thing. An excuse to NOT work out for me. Turns out, not so much. The past few days have left me gasping with that tightness in my chest, and the tightness … [Read more…]

At last. I am done with school! Woohoo! On Friday I hit the ‘submit’ button for my professional teaching certificate renewal program.

My little buddy took a lap with me today. I couldn’t have been more proud as he took off running around the track as fast as his little legs could carry him! It’s nice to have another running buddy. :

Know what I did on this, the first Monday of my summer vacation? 1. I woke up (9:30) 2. Ate breakfast (peanut butter smash) 3. Went for a run (11:00) 4. Sat in various chairs silently while working on my pro-cert stuff (12:30-6:30). I’m so over that crap. Jealous? Yeah, me either! The good part … [Read more…]
Let’s just say things have been nuts. I know I’ve said we are finishing my papers for recertification, and I tell ya, it is a time and energy sucker. And I miss my kids! AND I’m jealous of all my friends who are headed away to Rome, Disneyland or even just the nearby beaches! Perhaps … [Read more…]
Today we headed out for the first time in a week. A WEEK! It felt really good. I asked to do the giant loop so off we went. I had grand ideas of a five mile run, but the mile back to the house is just a huge, long hill. It isn’t steep, it just … [Read more…]
