Attitude of Gratitude
Okay, so I am injured. I haven’t done anything in a week, and I ate a steady diet of crap and doughnuts over Thanksgiving. Instead of being thankful for healthy workouts and good-for-me food, I was thanking God for ice cream and vino. Ugh. Not what I wanted, and I feel like absolute garbage heading back […]
Dingbat
I was lugging through spin class today. Fifteen minutes in, my hip was bothering me beyond words. About thirty-five minutes later, though, I hit a breakthrough and I was over the pain. I stretched out after class, and (knock on wood), I am not hurting right now. So, instead of trying to take things slow, I am […]
Rehabilitation
Well, I have been in denial. I am officially giving myself a break and hitting the slow train. My left hip is no better, and after a pitiful two mile run today, I’m all over the place with frustration and pain. Time to pace down, and see if I can get healing. I took off […]
Back to Reality

I won! I won! I won my age group in the 5k today at Suwanee Town Center Park! Okay, okay. So I was the only person in my age group, and almost everyone finished ahead of me – but still, I won. I’m not sure if that’s really a win, but whatever. I shaved a few […]
Fat Baby Carrots
I hate fat baby carrots. When I buy a bag of baby carrots, I want it to be full of the teeny ones, or at the most, the ones that are the size of a chunky Crayola. Today I opened a bag of organic carrots from Publix, and those darn things were baby tree trunks. Does […]
Points of Fear
Ever since my first tri, I have been hurting like a little old lady after a bone-shattering car accident. I remember exactly when my left hip gave up on me – right at the start of mile two of the run. It’s been bothering me ever since. Now, I am successfully screwing up lots of […]
