Keep it up, ladies!   We can almost run a 5K now.  To test this theory, I ran/walked a “practice” 5K with the lovely Going Green Mom and our friend from our college days as Westminster, Bethie.  GGM and I took our families to Beth’s in Springfield, MO and to Silver Dollar City for the weekend. Just… Read More »

You know how one thing just leads to another and then to another and then you don’t have time to blog and before you know it 2 weeks have gone by?  Oh, you don’t?  Well, darn.  That’s what happened to me.  Life.  Now, where were we?
When I have time, after a run, when I’m not… Read More »

Week 5!  I never thought I’d see this day!  It’s time for a midpoint report of my Couch to 5K running adventure.  I can tell that I’m more in shape now than I was at Week 1.  I’ve lost about 5 lbs on the scale, but the main difference that I can tell is in my… Read More »

Ahhhhhh…summer vacation.  At sunrise, as I walk out onto my beachfront veranda, I savor the sweet yet salty smell of the fresh ocean breeze as it wafts across my face.  I enjoy my tangy, crisp cup of morning blend mocha hinted with peppermint.  The crashing sounds of the ocean surf quiet my mind.  I breathe deep and relax. … Read More »

Ok, ladies!  Time to kick it up a notch.  Week 3 of our Couch to 5K Running Plan is underway.  At first glance, it looks tough, but when we were done, I thought, “That was it?  I can do this!”
Now…if I can do this, YOU can do this, too.  If you haven’t started exercising yet… Read More »

Good morning, 918 Moms!  Wakey, wakey!  Just kidding.  I’m not really chipper in the mornings.  Just ask my running partner, Kelsey. Much to my dismay, 5am came way too early and that alarm noise was way too loud.
I am so glad that I teamed up with a partner to run.  When I trained by myself, I did well. … Read More »

It’s raining. It’s pouring. I’d rather be snoring. But instead, I got up today for a run. A friend of mine from my new neighborhood said she’d join my Race for the Cure team. I won’t mention any initials, but her name is Kelsey! Kelsey also said she’d like to run with me in the… Read More »

Do you need to get in shape, but you just can’t find the time between work and making dinner and getting the kids to bed and last minute cookie baking for that bake sale at church that you forgot about until just now? Do you keep meaning to start exercising (or start back), but you… Read More »

On the menu today: Stress…with a side of chicken nuggets and a milk…or a juice box (whichever one is closest to the front of the fridge.)  Now don’t go all Jamie Oliveron me, I feel guilty enough about the daily menu!  I know YOU probably find the time to grow your own fresh vegetables and cook… Read More »

As I type this…8:55pm…I am in line at the Broken Arrow Public Schools Enrollment Center to enroll my twin daughters in the Broken Arrow Public Schools PreK program. Why is that a big deal you ask? Enrollment doesn’t open until 7AM!!!!!!!!! In case you are wondering, I’m not the first one in line, either. I’m… Read More »
