"It'll be fun!" she said.  "Just a few little hills!" she said.  Those were the thoughts going through my head as I climbed the first "little hill" in the 2015 Winterlaufe race and saw rolling hills ahead of me.  More than just a few.  And not little! As you might recall, one of my goals… Continue reading Race Recap: Winterlaufe 2015 8k

Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

I can't believe February is officially over!  Although I didn't accomplish my goal of an entire month of movement, I must say I am pretty darn proud of myself.  I exercised 24 out of 28 days, and even if you don't count the days where I cleaned instead of doing a workout, I still exercised… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up

Month of Movement

I can't believe that it is already February.  January flew by!  Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it.  I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba.  Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement
