Welcome back!

How is it almost November already?!  This year has been a whirlwind.  So much has happened way too fast.  

Time to sloooooowwwww it down......

I just finished reading an article about how to get back into running.  I haven't had a real run since July.  I think I really needed the break, both mentally and physically.  I think it's time to pour the wine in a sippy cup and jump back on the treadmill.


Let's go!


I don't really have a plan.  Not yet anyways!  I'd like to get back into the gym 'old school style' which I used to love: cardio followed by strength training.  I sort of quit doing this and started with the workout dvds and yoga.  Both of which I got bored with very quickly....

I want to build up my miles again and get myself in gear for half marathon training come the new year.  I'm going to run the Woody's Half Marathon, the Dinosaur 5km, and Mud Hero for sure in 2014.  I'l like to try some new races as well, like the October run in Victoria and maybe the half in Vegas in November! 

 Any suggestions for some other runs?  Anyone want to join me?

    lol--the cup does indeed, rock. Good luck with this....I strength train and have a heavy bag, that's about it. Perhaps I don't care for running as it seems you're going somewhere...when you're really not?

So we did something fun!

So we did something super fun and scary last spring... we decided to move to our lake cabin full time !  Ahhh!  It's been very trying and very exciting and I think we're actually settled in out here.  Also, HI!  I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha!  In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750.  And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works!  Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it.  The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it.  I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...

Week 2

Week 2 went well.  A few ups and downs.   How it went down: Monday : Swimming day....sort of.  I only did 25 lengths and then fell into the hot tub. Tuesday :  Awesome 3 mile!!  Ran it in my fastest time yet.  Legs were a bit sore, but I felt great! Wednesday : Great swim!  Went with a different friend and raced 30 lengths! Thursday : The plan was 5 miles, was goal was 6, reality was 4.  My knee wasn't feeling the greatest and I thought I best take it easy opposed to pushing myself for one more mile and not being able to do the long run. Friday : Rest Day! Saturday : 9 miles!  Went well.  Definitely need to look into energy gels and supplements.  The first six miles were amazing.  I was on fire!  Daydreaming of the big day and the entire world cheering me on.  And then I totally crashed.  Mile 7 was BRUTAL.  I jumped off the treadmill and rifled through my bag until I found a...
