One Unbelievable Read
Tweet At work we’ve been listening to (not really reading. My bosses would frown on us reading instead of working) Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall. This book is fascinating. Since I’m training for the Seattle Half Marathon it seemed appropriate [...]
7 miles! And I'm feeling… tired
Tweet OK, so I might not be in the best of shape. I did a run/walk of 7 miles this morning. aside from having to take a nap as soon as I got home, I think it went pretty well. I don’t have the knee or back pain that I had before. It’s just the [...]

Jen – I blame you
Tweet Jen, you know I love you, but I blame you for Kink. I came home from swimming and started to run a bath. Because, quite frankly I’m a bit chilled after swimming, so a hot bath does the body good. I get in the bath and that’s when Jimbo and Kink come in. My [...]
It's done. I'm signed up for the Seattle Half Marathon
Tweet There’s no backing out now. I’m actually pretty excited about it and I’m hoping that the excitement will last the 8 weeks it will take to train for it and run it. Dad, I may need a few things from Goldstocks Do they sell those sneakers with the wheels hidden in the soles [...]
Race 3 down
Tweet Today I did the St. Paddy’s Day Dash. There were around 16,000 people running, walking, strolling… I believe it’s just shy of a 3.5 mile run. I didn’t do too bad. I think I finished in about 40 minutes or so. I can definitely tell that I’m in better shape than I was at [...]
Swimming…again
Tweet that’s right. I went swimming today. I was able to get a mile done in about 45 minutes or so. So I felt good about that. I put the kitty fence up this weekend. And they loved it. Kink went outside like the starter pistol was just fired. Jimbo was unsure if it was [...]
Running
Tweet Man I hate it. Ok… I don’t hate it. it’s just that me and running aren’t really friends. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time with running to really get to know running. I do know that my lungs feel like they are on fire when I start running. I feel like my [...]
One race a month and then some
Tweet This year, one of my New Years Resolutions was to do at least one race a month. So far – 2 months down and 2 races down. Things are going well. I’ve started to eat better, workout more, sleep better, and more importantly feel better mentally and physically. I’ve got to figure out how [...]
Too tired to write a whole lot
Tweet But I just wanted to say a big thanks to my swap partner! (she’s got a picture of my package posted on her blog, check it out!) My package came on Saturday and I was sooooo happy! There was a number of tasty hot cocoa treats, which have already been tasted and are yummy! [...]
