Finding Radiance

Woke up this morning and it was again 32 degrees!  I was going to run outside as I don’t like to drive to the gym just to run unless it is precipitating horribly outside.  So, I made some fantabulous oats for breakfast and got right to work: 40 grams of oats, 1 medium banana (part [...]

Just a quick buzz by – John did a PR for this 5K  race (hills and all) 26:24!! He rocks!  Done by a person with asthma, too.  I’m so proud! Going out for a bike ride now because his time makes me feel like a lazy butt   Catch you later…. Pin it

So, I was feeling okay this morning and we decided to go ahead and do the race. I made the mistake of checking the temperature before leaving the house. 15 degrees!! Oh my gosh was it cold!! I wore my technical turtleneck (my new best friend), a sweatshirt, and a fleece jacket. I barely broke [...]

I must be nuts. It’s going to be in the 20s tomorrow morning at 9 am, and I am going to be running a 5K (provided my cold doesn’t get worse).My 9-year-old niece did a running program to build them up to a 5K, and the race they were aiming for is tomorrow. So, my [...]

What a gorgeous day for the race. Sunny, 45-50 degrees, no wind. Absolutely beautiful fall day. It made me happy just to be out in this weather!There were not a lot of runners at this race, maybe 150 tops. It’s the 2nd annual, about 3x the turnout they had last year. So, we lined up [...]

. My race today was fabulous! Beautiful weather, not really cold, but cool, sunny, no wind. Started the race with my sis, and then I went ahead and got up to pace. I felt great at the start, so I knew I would do well. Checked my time at the first mile marker and was [...]

Good thing that I moved my jog to coincide with the shapeover workouts this week. My legs are killing me! I took a short walk today for a little cardio. I have a few days to recover before Sunday’s race. Yesterday I did a 3 mile jog in 33:39, about my usual pace now. I [...]

Today was race day! Jogged the entire 5K. Came in near the end of the pack, but that’s all right – not the very last anyway. My sister and I ran together. 1st 5K for both of us! Before race: During: End: Pin it

Well, I have been checking the scale each day, and I think I might be going into a plateau. My weight at the beginning of July was 148.8 and today it is 148. I do believe there will be some inches lost, so maybe this won’t be a true plateau like I had a couple [...]

Today I did a virtual 5K – where a bunch of us (100) all ran a 5K on our own this weekend. My sister joined me – and here we are in the final couple of laps around the track: DH had walked down to the bakery down the street and had cranberry orange scones [...]
