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 10 – 16
December 29, 2022 - January 3, 2023 part of me feels like "oh, it has only been 16 days!", while the other part of me is like, "OH, has it ONLY been 16 days?!" Say what you want, but Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. That is fact-based, not just my… Continue reading Days 10 – 16
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
Whole 30 Journey
30...well as of today, 31...days ago, I made the decision to embark on a Whole 30 journey. One day, I was in Target & found a book titled Whole 30: Friends & Family by Melissa Hartwig. It seemed interesting enough, so I bought it. At the time I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Well okay,… Continue reading Whole 30 Journey
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
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
Disneyland Half Marathon
On the morning of September 1st, Bill and I loaded up the Explorer with our suitcases, ice chest, and Bentley and began our trek to California to run the Disneyland Half Marathon. We stopped in Las Vegas for the night before we continued our drive to Anaheim, California Friday morning. We arrived in Anaheim in… Continue reading Disneyland Half Marathon
Countdown
It is officially six days until I run my first ever half marathon. I feel a whole mix of emotions at this point. Sometimes I feel like I won't have any problem running 13.1 miles. But then there are other times where I think there is no way that I am going to be able… Continue reading Countdown
