This morning started out hard. Hard is such an arbitrary word. Everyone has their own version of what is hard, and most times I feel guilty for labeling personal minor inconveniences as hard. But I am writing my own story, and I need to release myself of feeling guilty for thinking some of my daily… Continue reading I am lucky. The Universe favors me. I deserve good things.

Days 5 – 9
December 24th - 28th Look at me. I have already (somewhat) lost count of the days. It is kind of hard to believe it has already been nine days since Bill left to go back over there. I think doing a weekly wrap-up instead of a daily breakdown is going to be better for this… Continue reading Days 5 – 9
120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel Days 1 – 4
I don't feel totally satisfied with the title of this blog & kind of feel like I need a better one. I feel like the current one implies that by Bill being gone, my life is incomplete or I rely on him so deeply that I cannot find peace & joy alone. Neither of which… Continue reading 120-ish Days of Not Letting My Life Unravel Days 1 – 4
10 Hour Endurance Race
It has been over 48 hours since I completed my first endurance race, so now feels like an appropriate time to record my thoughts & feelings. Let's just start from the very beginning. Back in April, a lot of people I know were doing a 24 hour run for cancer. To show support, I decided… Continue reading 10 Hour Endurance Race
Less Than Perfect Conditions
Running races is one of my most favorite things to do. One of my personal goals for 2020 is to run no less than 13 races. Several weeks ago, I ran my fourth race, which was an 8K (4.97 miles). I actually couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. It seemed like everything was exactly… Continue reading Less Than Perfect Conditions
Get Out of Your Head & Out of Your Comfort Zone
Okay, here is a fun fact about me that most people don't know. You ready? I am not adventurous. Nope, not at all. I don't love [or really even like] trying new things. This is especially true when it comes to trying new things that are fitness related. The thought of trying new thing is… Continue reading Get Out of Your Head & Out of Your Comfort Zone
Half Marathon #2
It has been just over three weeks since I ran my second half marathon. This year, my husband and I decided to be brave and conquer a 10k the day before our half marathon. I don't know if that was brave or dumb. Back in February, when I was deployed, I signed both of us… Continue reading Half Marathon #2
Silver Linings
Let's all agree that it has been entirely too long since I have written a blog. I really need to be better about sitting down and getting it all out. I do love writing, but sometimes time gets away from me. Here we go. Yesterday I made it pretty clear that I had a crappy… Continue reading Silver Linings
New Year’s Resolut…goals
I am not a huge resolutioner (yes, that is a word) when it comes to the New Year. I really don't focus on the whole "new year, new me" jargon. Resolutions, to me, are not something that just happen with the introduction of a new year. I mean, most people aren't one way on December… Continue reading New Year’s Resolut…goals
Don’t Call Me Slow
Today I was feeling particularly proud with how I fared on my PT test. For those who are unaware: the PT test is a biannual or annual test we Air Force people take in order to measure our fitness capability. If you get a 90 or better, you test once a year, and anything less… Continue reading Don’t Call Me Slow
