I think I’m falling into a little runners depression here- I’m just feeling so very upset about not being able to run. I think maybe part of the problem is that I’m not in bed, needing -round -the -clock -care sick, but rather up and around and generally going on about my normal life butContinue reading “poo”

The road to nowhere…
Trying to stay positive here but freaking out on the inside as my training has been completely derailed, last week by Christmas festivities and this week by illness. I did 2 miles on the treadmill yesterday and it felt OK but I was at my limit. I’m feeling OK just weak-ish. I looked through myContinue reading “The road to nowhere…”
boo hoo
Got “the flu” although my version is, as always, very low grade. Basically I feel horrible but am somehow able to look after everyone still, including laundry, meals, driving kids around… it’s the Mama strain of the virus methinks.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
Just as I had predicted, this week has been a bit of a bust- there’s one more day in the training week and to date I have just 2 treadmill runs in, one cross training session (i hour of shoveling snow) and tomorrow it looks like another treadmill- and it is set to be aContinue reading “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…”

decisions, decisions…
So after much deliberation I have decided that I will NOT run my long run in the -8 and snow weather today but rather run it on the (blech) treadmill instead. I have been humming and hawing, and on my way home from dropping the kids off at school I was checking out the sidewalksContinue reading “decisions, decisions…”
Courage
I finally got around to putting together my “before” page… complete with…gulp! photos- I’m getting to be gutsy in my old age…
5 miler… in the snow!
I have always been a bit of a drama queen… I’m an opera singer ‘fer crying out loud!! So there is something about running in the snow (yes it snowed one whole centimeter here on Friday!) that brought out the tough guy in me (cue Rocky theme song…cut to my chubby housewife self shuffling upContinue reading “5 miler… in the snow!”
Something’s gotta give…
It’s all about choices right? It’s a topic I have had come up countless times over my 16 year mothering career… finding the time to exercise. And it always come down to one thing, making the choice to just do it. Sure something’s gotta give… sometimes it’s the housework, sometimes it’s the cup of coffeeContinue reading “Something’s gotta give…”
back in the saddle
So I’ve had a bit of a slump… 2 whole days off- now that I write it down it doesn’t seem like such a big deal but I’ve pretty much been fretting over it the whole 2 days- partially me just feeling a bit burnt out and partially life not allowing me any time toContinue reading “back in the saddle”
