Last Saturday I ran the 1/2 marathon here in Nashville. I started strong. I was ready to run. I had a goal to beat my best time. I was nervous, excited and goal-minded. But about half way through the race I hit a wall and couldn’t recover. I may have started too strong. It could […]
We did it! Finished the race just before the storms hit. Yea! Here are some random musings and thoughts from the day: It was so much fun to have so many friends running the race this year including my beautiful sister! I missed Ashley… just not the same running without her. I started too fast. […]
Today rather than run my usual five mile route, I opted to slow it down to a walk and purposefully take in the beauty of the day. I’ve run this route through my neighborhood several times a week for over five years. I thought I knew it backwards and forwards, until today… Today I walked […]
Somewhere around mile 4 I start asking myself this question… Why do I do this to myself? I’m only a third of the way done. I’ve already been running over 40 minutes and I still have a long way to go. Today our Powered by Hope/Cross Point team ran 12 miles. 12 MILES!! That’s the […]
Today I officially started training for this year’s Country Music 1/2 Marathon. This will be my third year running the race. Honestly my enthusiasm about doing it again was waning a bit when it came time to start thinking about training again. The first year was an awesome experience. I had never run more than […]

I feel it. You know that oh-no-here-come-the-holidays-I’m-going-to-gain-10 pounds-because-I-can’t-avoid-all-the-good-food-and-treats feeling. Yep. I felt it this morning while I was running because, well… I run for treats. That’s my motto. My selfish obsession with “thin” coupled with my love of food is enough to keep me motivated to workout a few hours every week. It’s cold weather […]
I had a great day running the Country Music 1/2 Marathon! A couple of days before the race, Matt suggested I take the “Catron Cam” along to document the race from a runner’s perspective. So I grabbed my Kodak Zi6 little mini HD cam and headed out to the race today. Enjoy! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EbOomjeW1w] WARNING: This […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted Friday Fun, so here’s the latest: My husband left the house WAYYYYY early this morning for work, so Mick (my dog) assumed it was time to get up… but instead I laid in bed and finished the novel that I’ve been reading, I love the feeling of finishing a […]
It’s been awhile since I shared some of my Friday Fun, so here’s what’s happening today: Morning run with Ash. We tried some new routes in the park… refreshing change of pace on a very brisk 24 degree morning! Cleaning – lots of cleaning as I prepare for holiday parties and company. Love the parties […]
