Do your biggest ideas and epiphanies come to you in the shower?  Do you dream in the shower?  Why is that? I think it has something to do with cleansing away your worries, the grime and ick from the day, making it a fresh beginning to your day. I always have brilliant ideas in the shower.  I just don’t always act on them :/ Well, the other day, I had a shower epiphany.  Not just the most brilliant shower thought ever, but a moment of true clarity. See, I’ve been struggling with my fitness business.  Like, since I started it.  Then I took time offRead More →

July is well upon us.  Where did the time go?  My first half of the year goal was accomplished, holiday has been celebrated, now it’s time to set a new goal. My first half goal was my half marathon.  I did complete it, beating my goal time by 3 minutes, and finishing with my daughter, which made me so happy and as she started running with me I totally didn’t care anymore about my time.  Running with her, and seeing her sense of wonder as we crossed the finish line, was so cool and something I want to do with her over and over again.Read More →

It’s Wednesday, and my half marathon is on Sunday.  I had a crazy long weekend this past weekend, road-tripping to Colorado to visit my mom, who fell and was hospitalized.  She’s as good as she can be, and I’m very glad that we were able to get to see her.  That being said, when we left I was in kind of a hurry, and worried, and wasn’t as prepared to get my final long training run in.  I left my hydration belt at home, and didn’t think about getting any gels to run with.   I would have LOVED to run in the dry ColoradoRead More →

As I’ve done some reflecting lately–a lot of musings while running–I remembered my old Facebook notes of my first half marathon training.  Remember Facebook Notes?  It was Facebook’s attempt at a blog service.  Anyways, I know a lot of my friends enjoyed my first foray into running, and I’ve been seriously remiss in this last training as far as blogging goes.  So here is an attempt to rectify that. I’ve been training for the Madison Her Half Marathon now since New Year’s Day, so roughly six months now.  It has been a good training schedule and session, although I have definitely had several bad weeks.Read More →

Here for the next few days while Hubby is here for a seminar.  It’s nice to be back in the Windy City for a visit, even if it is f-ing cold outside.  Our room is pretty cool, because it looks east to downtown, and we can see the skyline.  The last time we stayed in Chicago (besides our stopover on our move from Colorado to Pennsylvania) was when we ran the Chi Town Half Marathon in April 2012.  That was awesome, running around Lincoln Park, staying at the Hotel Lincoln, partying sans enfant downtown.  The fun part about being back is having our daughter with us.Read More →
