Last week, I started putting my goals on FB each morning as a way to stay accountable. As the days passed, I found myself being more comfortable if I did not meet every goal. I was happy to be making better choices, and have something to reach for each and every day. So, oddly, the …
I'm not doing great with checking in on my monthly goals lately. Here's to trying again, because it's not about being perfect, it's about progressing. Stick to the Point(s) I started using Weight Watchers again back in March. I have been a bit haphazard with use of it, and my lack of progress shows it. …
This time 2 weeks ago, I was enjoying a glass of bubbly as I wandered around the silent auction, trying to decide what to place my bets on. I had come to peace with the fact that I would not be running the Shamrock Shuffle the next day, nor would I be running Rock n …
I am overweight. There. I said it. It's out in the world. I've struggled with my weight since I was a kid. Running, at times, has made managing it easier. But marathon training last fall, combined with a disappointing performance in that race, let to a downward spiral. I've stopped listening to my healthy …
In February, instead of making goal, I focused on progress. I made progress toward my 2016 mantras, and in March I intend to make even more progress. Move More - Continue to attend at least one class at Equinox a week. My class of choice is Precision Running, but I promised my trainer I would …

As I watched the marathon trials on Saturday, in addition to being in awe at the way those athletes move, there was longing. Wishing for their strong strides. Their high knees. Their seemingly effortless glide over 26.2 miles. Galen Rupp ran his first marathon, in the hottest Olympic marathon trials ever. And won. Actually, he …
I had a revelation mid-week: I'm a happier person if I work out and get my 12k steps in each day. When I say revelation, I mean reminder. I know this. I've been through this, and yet somehow, time after time, I forget it. I get into a routine, and something always finds a way …
When I first started this post, it was titled "Don't Stop Now", but I couldn't get this out of my head. You're welcome. As I reflect on the first month of the year, I'm a bit disappointed because I didn't stick to many of my goals. But, I still made progress, so that's something …
After an absolutely incredible weekend at Disney World Marathon Weekend with Danielle, Pam, Megan, Justin and Devin, when I got back home and back to work, I realized I was a bit overwhelmed. I needed to make me a priority in order to focus on the things that really matter: getting healthy & back to into my favorite …
