Throwing Down the Gauntlet

training, virtual run

I’ve been stalled out in my fitness ventures as of late. A social media post I saw a few weeks ago (origins and attribution having long since left my brain) suggested that part of the problem might be the struggle, or lack thereof, of my goals.

Champion

“Champion” by Carrie Underwood and Ludacris popped up first on today’s Spotify workout playlist.

First off: huh? This duet is a thing?? I must live under a rock.

Also, so intense! No stopping me! I was made for this! I’m the best!!

Brushy Mountain Trail – The Not-So-Short Way

While this past weekend wasn’t my first trip to the Brushy Mountain summit, it was the first time I actually enjoyed the experience.

October – Things Loved, Said, Learned & Read

Nearing the end of month, its once again time to consider some things from the past month. These snippets – four somethings – are a small look at how I’ve spent this beginning of autumn.

Finding My Way {FMF}

Nerd Fitness Academy’s Newest Recruit

I started blogging in 2008 with the intent on writing my love story with Mr. Right. A few months after our wedding, I began training for my first 5K and religiously tracking my food. As a result, I have pages and pages on my first blog of “Weigh-In Wednesday” posts.
