I did it. I ran my second half marathon this weekend. Did I love it? No. Did I have my best time ever? No. Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. This Saturday I ran the Silver Comet Half Marathon. The race started at 7:45. As we pulled in around 7:30, I was a tad [...]
I have been very wishy-washy lately. Should I? Shouldn’t I? Should I? Shouldn’t I? Well…yesterday afternoon I made the decision. I’m going to run the half-marathon I signed up for on Saturday. Oh…wait. You didn’t know I was considering NOT running it? Well, I was. I had so much self doubt in my head that [...]
I didn’t do my 6 mile run tonight. I just can’t. I mean technically I “could.” But I just don’t think I should. My body is saying, “NO!” I had a horrible night last night. I was up half the night with an upset stomach. Then, today, I just didn’t feel good at certain points [...]

When you live so many years of your life sedentary, National Running Day is NOT a holiday to be celebrated. It is a holiday to say, “Running?!? That’s for crazies!” Well…I have officially become one of the [...]
The other day I had a friend message me on Facebook and asked me this question: “…I want to learn how to run. I’ve never been a runner but I see a lot of your posts in regards to running. Any pointers for me?” This got me thinking that maybe there are others out there [...]
I chose to participate in the Publix Georgia Half Marathon for one main reason. It is close to my house. My friend Amy and I were trying to decide between either this one or the Nashville half. We chose this one primarily because we could drive there and would not have to stay overnight or [...]
This might be a gross topic to some of you but it is important to me so I am going to blog about it. If you are squeamish or HATE feet like my friend Michael does, you might want to NOT read this post. If you can handle it, read on. I have a black [...]
