My right foot goes numb when I run

I feel like I’m just falling apart. I’ve been working out quite a lot lately.  Doing my training runs, going on extra walks, doing some weights and generally, just trying to be healthier. But it appears the more I do, the worse my body reacts. I’ve had this problem with my left ankle for a…

I hate running almost as much as the dentist…

and today I did both. Maybe I don’t HATE running.  Hate is such a strong word. Dislike. Disdain. Detest. Well, hate works. I’m still doing the “couch to 5K” training program. This week’s training kicks it up a notch, and had me running for 5 minutes straight. I’m not lying when I say, I don’t…

Couch to 5K – A rockin’ Friday night

My bed was way too comfortable this morning to get to the gym. And to think, daylight saving time kicks in this weekend, so next week is going to be a tough one! I didn’t make it to the gym this morning, but I managed to get there after work. What a way to spend…

You know you work in television news when…

It dawned on me the other day that I’m not quite right in the head.  I blame the news business.  Then I got to thinking, maybe there are others like me?  Let me know and please add to the list! You know you work in television news when: You always have your cell phone at…

Running: Day 2- I’m still alive!

Day 2 of “official 5K training” is done. It was one of those days that I wasn’t sure would work with exercise! I worked late last night, early this morning and wanted to sleep instead of wake up early to go to the gym. I brought my exercise gear to work thinking I would get…

Spinning…and spinning…

I went spinning this morning. I try to go once a week, but it’s been a little hard to get there lately. Well, this year… Today I had to work late, so I got to go to the 9:45 a.m. class.  Let me tell you what, it made me want to be a stay-at-home mom!…

From couch to 5k: I run a 15 minute mile

FACT: I can hold my breath for longer than I can run. I’ve signed up for a 5K in the middle of April.  Hopefully it’s the motivation I need to really get healthy. Here’s the ugly truth…I’ve never ran a mile in life. I’ve always had asthma – since the day I was born. Growing…

Just call me Martha Stewart…

Eight years ago, I was pregnant and nesting. I decided to make my son-to-be a Christmas stocking…all by myself.  It’s something my mother did when we were little, and I thought it would be nice to have something my kids can look at and say that their mom made it for them. It was a…
