I Did It! Wheeeee!
Sooo…I did it! I walked my very first half marathon, the Forest Park Half Marathon. I took lots of bits of video along the way, and as soon as I have a computer up and running, I plan to edit together a little video–Rocky style–of me training and then crossing the finish line victorious. It … Read more
Glistening, Half Naked Eye Candy
Ha! I knew that title would get your attention! It is certainly more catchy than say, Triumph At Forest Park or The Toughest Thing I’ve Ever Done Physically, (Except for Childbirth). What can I say? Sex sells. And, the title does actually have something to do with this post…eventually. The Forest Park Marathon and Half … Read more
TrailNote–A Very Helpful Idea!
Recently, I received an email from my hiking meetup group organizer. He was letting us know how a couple of groups of missing hikers had been found and was reminding us of things we could do to help ensure our safety and survival should we get lost or stuck in the wilderness. In the email, … Read more
Training For A ‘Thon
On my bucket list (the list of things I want to do before I die) is walking across America. I think I’ve mentioned that. That’s why this whole blog was created! But I’ve got a lot of other things on that blog that I want to do, and several of those items are related to … Read more
Kickin’ Butt
Going to the gym has been crazy good. The endorphins, man, the endorphins. I feel so….goood. *dreamy, happy look on my face* I’ve got more energy, my stamina is already improving, my strength is improving, my stretchy-ness is improving. Everything is improving. Well, except my weight. It’s funny. I’ve been walking like crazy, PLUS working … Read more
Loprinzi’s Gym
So here we are at Loprinzi’s Gym. We’ve been going for almost a week now. I’m already feeling a huge difference in my energy level and, strangely enough, my walking ability. Friday’s 8+ miles seemed really tough, yet every day that has been an 8 miler since then has been much easier, even on days … Read more
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, It’s Off to the Gym We Go!
Heigh ho! Heigh ho heigh ho heigh ho! So I mentioned earlier that I joined Loprinzi’s Gym. It’s an awesome gym, and I’m not being paid to say it. In fact, my family has a lot of history at this gym. I worked there when I was a 15 year old kid. My dad worked … Read more
Weight Loss
When I first started doing my walking training, I knew that walking so much would mean I would lose weight. You can’t walk around that much and not lose weight, unless you stuff your face full of tons of calories, and I wasn’t adding to my food intake. While losing weight wasn’t a goal, I … Read more
Walking With My Sweetie
This week, my husband Micah joined me for some of my walks, since he wants to get into better shape so that he will better qualify for a kidney transplant. Since he’s lost his leg, he’s lost a lot of his physical ability. But even more so once he went on dialysis. He wasn’t walking … Read more
