“Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don’t have races anyway. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism and never, ever, ever giving up.” ~ Amby Burfoot, The Runner’s Guide to the Meaning of Life
Runner’s World emails me running quotes every day. About half the time, they are trite or have an [...]
I’m really battling the exercise excuses today. It’s too hot. It might rain. I’m too tired. DH might not go mountain biking (ha! He is…that one didn’t stick). I ran yesterday. I have too much stuff to do. And on, and on, and on…
I’m trying to make a reward for myself. If I go run, [...]
The rubber nose piece on my glasses broke this morning so I stopped by the optometrist over lunch, which is conveniently located next to Noodles & Co, Five Guy’s Burger, Coldstone, Qdoba, Pei Wei and Panera. It’s great.

I teared up a little reading the comments on my last post because it’s so nice to have someone tell you that you’re not insane, it’s ok not to be ready, and that life doesn’t end after children. Life doesn’t end after children… it’s funny [...]
I’ve thought about this entry the entire morning, but work (darn work!) was needing more attention and then hubby stopped by to eat lunch with me. Since I became a technical writer over three years ago, my creativity has gone out the window so sometimes it’s a little difficult for me to conjur up the [...]
From reading the Playa del Carmen TripAdvisor forum, you’d think it’s the Apocalypse! I can’t count how many people asked me yesterday if we were still planning our trip to Mexico in July. Um…yes! No amount of pig flu is going to stop me from enjoying a frozen margarita on the beach! Really, give it [...]
I keep a spreadsheet of my daily weight. Each month has its own tab and I even get a little nerdy and create a graph that plots the points of my weight loss. Sometimes it helps to have a visual that things are going generally in a downward direction, so when I get frustrated on [...]
