Finding Radiance

Exciting blog title, eh? But that was the type of day it was. Today was C25K day. Week 7 day 2.  I can’t believe how far into the program I am already.  This week is all the same. A 5 minute warm up, then 25 minutes of running, then cool down.  It was cool and [...]

Okay – I guess I am not alone leaving my nails buff nekkid!  It just seemed like I read a lot about manicures, but then after thinking about it, why would one announce that they were *not* doing their nails? (lightbulb moment). Today was the start of week 5 for Couch to 5K.  I can’t [...]

Woke up to a cloudy and rainy morning. Think it was the remnants of Hurricane Bill bands going by.  Still kind of humid!  We went for bagels and I forgot my camera!  Probably a good thing because we had some difficulties with service and ended up leaving where we went to go to Panera Bread.  [...]

There was a break in the weather, so I decided to do a C25K workout. Again a 30 minute jog. It was really, really humid. Yuck! I was sweating like crazy. The humidity makes it difficult to breathe. Wasn’t sure I was gong to make it, but I did. I can see jogging in the [...]

Week 9 – week freaking 9!!!!!!! That’s 30 minutes of jogging. Okay, I can’t do a 5K in 30 minutes yet, but I can do 2 miles! That is an improvement on my time of a 17 minute mile.Funny how I see the progression of adding distance. I remember being nervous about jogging 1/2 mile. [...]

Ever have those days? Nothing in particular wrong, just feeling blah. Normally I am pretty cheery (annoyingly so, according to DH LOL), but feel off. Part of it is the meeting with the tax assessor tonight. I feel like this meeting is an exercise in futility, but I truly hope it isn’t. My food is [...]

Started Week 8 of C25K. Was supposed to jog for 28 minutes. My Mp3 player ran out of juice about 3/4 of the way, so I didn’t know exactly how long it took – but I went jogging for a full 2 miles!I really never imagined myself doing that. It’s crazy! Struggled a bit with [...]

Ah, the start of a new week. I really want to make sure I stay focused for the rest of the month. My birthday is June 5th, and I do plan on allowing myself some treats that weekend when we go away. I did C25K today. Another 25 minute jog. Felt like I was pushing [...]

Gosh I love this time of year when the Farmer’s market is open! I don’t know why it feels so healthy and refreshing to walk around the market, even when there are all those baked goods for sale! LOL! Someone there is now selling Greek yogurt. Yum! My favorite. Not low fat, but I only [...]

Started Week 7 of C25K. That was a 25 minute jog. I am getting used to it. I still think the first 1/4 mile is the hardest part. I did 1.5 miles in the 25 minutes. I have been really hungry lately. Not craving hungry, but stomach growling hungry. I don’t know if I need [...]
