Maybe it’s because I didn’t date a lot in high school or college (my longest dating “relationship” prior to meeting Mark was just 3 months!), but I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. My parents would always give me cards and candy, and while I enjoyed the grammar school tradition of passing out…

Mile Accomplished + WIAW #15
I always love Wednesdays, but I’m especially fond of today. In exactly one week, I will be at Harry Potter World sipping butter beer and learning how to use a magic wand! 🙂 Another reason I’m particularly happy today is my achievement of a small fitness goal. Last Thursday, Sunday, and yesterday, I ran a…
WIAW #14 + Jello Arms
Today I’d hoped to share how I finally ran a mile without stopping. I’m blaming the awful humidity and the half-awake stupor I was in, but Saturday’s run was worse than the previous two! No mile—yet. Also, my planned run for yesterday didn’t happen because it was extremely windy and raining. I did, however, do…
Almost a Mile + WIAW #13

Even when I excelled in every other category of the physical fitness testing in grammar school (I rocked the flex arm…
WIAW #12 + New Workout Clothes

It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…
Making Fitness a Priority
Since it’s November, I’m going to start by giving thanks. Today, I am thankful for my health. I’m lucky that I suffer from no physical or mental ailments (other than being a wee bit neurotic at times), and I am very capable of moving around and enjoying the fresh air (particularly on a beautiful, sunny…
Trying to move in a sedentary world
Like most Americans, I work in an office. I sit on my bottom the majority of the day. I hate it. I hate the blank stares at the computer screen, I hate the cramps my legs get from my end-of-its-life chair, and I hate the exhausted feeling that overtakes me when I walk into my…
