Logan's Run 5K


The weather was much cooler than my last race. It was also windy, especially on the bridge and by the river. I wasn't sure how I'd do since my last few runs have been so difficult. I knew though when I first started running that this would be a decent run. As usual, I lagged in the middle, but I was able to recover a little time near the end. I didn't PR, but this was my second best time. I came in 87/238 with a time of 27:16. I'm pleased with myself.

HG went and took some great pictures. My mile splits were: @ Mile 1 ~ 8:13, Mile 2 ~ 9:30, Mile 3 ~ 8:59, Mile 3.1 ~ 7:09.

I'm glad that I ran today. And I'm glad HG was there with me.



This is me pushing through at the end. I was determined to push it on through even though I was struggling with my breathing.

  1. Great job. I have yet to break 30 min. in a 5k so 27 is amazing in my book. :)

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
