Earlier this week I found a reminder of my achievements 11 years ago, when I was just starting to run again. I remember getting on the treadmill at therapy and running as long as I could trying to hang on a little bit longer every day. It wasn’t more than a few minutes back then, … Continue reading Keep running but don’t rush it

This running thing is starting to get addictive. I went to the track this morning, when it was pretty empty and it wasn’t supposed to be so hot. I think I should have gone earlier because it was still 87 degrees that felt like 97. But even with the sun shining at full blast, I … Continue reading Saturday morning run
Yesterday I went running again, this time I was told to do two more laps than last time, still running and walking. Two more laps made it eight and this really motivated me but I was worried I was going to be too tired when I got to the last two. With these two extra … Continue reading Motivated to run a 5K again

This morning I went running at the beach for the third weekend in a row. I thought maybe today would be difficult because I was tired but it was better than the last two times, or maybe ever? I started running pretty close to where we had our stuff, near the parking lot, I thought … Continue reading Love running in the sand
Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot. It was also very different because it wasn’t the same beach. This beach has suffered a lot more erosion so I either had to … Continue reading Saturday morning run
After months of not running very much, I accepted the challenge of running at the beach. I hadn’t thought or worried that much about the struggle of running again since I haven’t been running that often recently, I just worried about the heat. I thought maybe it would be very hot, which is why I … Continue reading Running at the beach
This year I had two New Year’s resolutions. I have been doing my best to keep the first one which is writing more, but I hadn’t even started the second one, running again, for a number of reasons, including Covid. Now that that’s not an excuse anymore, I decided to stop wondering why I haven’t … Continue reading Working on my New Year’s resolution
Earlier today I finished the January 30 mile challenge I signed up for.

Today I only needed a mile and a half to complete the challenge but … Continue reading Finished the January Challenge!
Keeping up with blogging, exercising, working and taking classes all at the same time has not been very easy so far. I was able to keep up with everything during my three week Christmas break because I was on vacation, but now that I’m back to work and working more hours than last year, it … Continue reading I can find a way to do it all
Yesterday I remembered that I finished Focus T25, so I needed to find something else to help me exercise. I spent all week telling myself I needed to look for something but I never did, so when I was in a rush yesterday to figure something out I signed up for Beachbody On Demand. They … Continue reading New workout routine
Life is slowly going back to normal after the holidays, which means taking down Christmas decorations and going back to work. I haven’t started putting away decorations, even though I planned on starting today.
