Yesterday, my coach had a new challenge for me, no more running half a lap or part of it. This time, I had to run one lap in 3 minutes, no more no less. If it took longer I had to run faster, if it took less I had to slow down. He told me … Continue reading Keeping up with the running challenges

Today I want to be very thankful that my dog, Indy, is doing a lot better. She went back to the veterinarian yesterday and she is doing well. Her hip is doing a lot better but her left leg is still tied up in a cast. She can’t stretch it but she wants to walk … Continue reading Very thankful to be in a happy place again
A few weeks ago I signed up for my first 5K in about three years. I was excited but also a little nervous. I only started running about a month ago, I didn’t rest at all and I walked a lot yesterday, and it was really hot outside today. Despite all of this, I still … Continue reading Comets CPS Run or Walk 5K
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
I did it! I finished the 60 Minute Cardio, Strength and Yoga Collection on Apple Fitness . Took me longer than I had planned but as I said a few weeks ago, I finished it in October. Doing this challenge today, also gave me a chance to run, as the cardio video I had left … Continue reading 60 Minute Cardio, Strength and Yoga Collection- DONE!
I have been looking for something fun to do outside of work, to get me out of my house, keep my mind occupied, and maybe meet new people. As you probably know, I like exercising and staying active, and I considered joining a gym but I have everything I need to work out in my … Continue reading Got a running coach!
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
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
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. I’m not ready to got back to normal just yet, especially since going back to normal will probably mean not having … Continue reading January 30 miles challenge
Today I had all day to do whatever I wanted and I had a few things in mind. Before doing anything else I wanted to exercise and get that done in the morning, then I would have the rest of the day to do everything else. I didn’t do anything else. I started at 10 … Continue reading All day exercising
I did it, I exercised for six days straight. I completed my six days of exercising this morning on the stationary bike. I didn’t push myself too hard but I did exercise for 45 minutes. I think that’s good enough for the sixth day. Tomorrow is my well deserved rest day before I get started … Continue reading Six days!
The first week of blogging after exercising has been a success. I have been able to work out every day this week. I didn’t blog last night but I did exercise. And finally today, when I was tired and just wanted to be lazy, I decided to get up and walk to at least let … Continue reading Setting goals
The first few days after I did the virtual 5k in September I was really tired so I decided to take it easy for a couple of days. A couple of days turned into a whole week and after that I just exercised a few times a week, I just walked and didn’t do anything … Continue reading Can’t quit, won’t quit
My family seems to worry every time I say something that starts with the phrase “so, I’ve been thinking...” This phrase is sometimes followed by something random I’ve been wondering about that really shouldn’t worry anybody; it’s just a question. Then there are the times that I’ve come up with a change I want to … Continue reading I’ve been thinking…
