Week 5 is done and I am mostly happy about it. First and foremost, I completed the week. That in and of itself should be victory enough, right? I want to say the last time I attempted the Couch to…
My First 5K
Now that I am signed up for a 5K and officially preparing for it, I guess that means I am all in. As much as I tell myself to not look at my watch while I am out running, there…
The 5-Minute Journal
My old Tumblr blog has been on my mind lately. On yesterday’s run, I found myself thinking about everything I had accomplished while trying to lose weight and how much fun I had writing about it and sharing photos. I…

C25K – Week 2 of 8
I wish I knew why I keep taking these post-run selfies. Maybe it is just the adrenaline and good feels from finishing and still being able to walk to my car. Not sure. My right knee was jacked up after…
Garmin Judgement
My right knee is still tight, but I am determined to get it back to 100% again. I have really been hammering the stretching and rolling it out. Oddly enough, it feels worse when I don’t move it. When I…
