The last time I posted as about my alcohol free journey - I was 60 days alcohol free at that moment, as I write to you today I am 94 days alcohol free. A) I'm pretty freakin' proud of this accomplishment and B) I'm pretty freakin' bummed that I haven't written anything in a month.… Continue reading A Stay at Home Update from RD on the Run

Redemption 2018
"Redemption" and "redeem" have many definitions. For instance, many people think of being saved from sin, or something otherwise religious when they hear the word. Or they might think of getting something back - like redeeming a coupon. Many of the definitions center around faults, mistakes, guilt or rescue. I have chose REDEMPTION as my… Continue reading Redemption 2018
The Road to My First Marathon
If you had asked me 8 years ago when I ran my first 5k if I would ever run a marathon, I would have laughed and said no way. In fact, at that time, even the thought of running a half marathon seemed completely impossible. I wasn't even sure if I'd run anything more than… Continue reading The Road to My First Marathon
Banking the Miles: July/August Update
I'm running the Crim in less than 2 weeks. To say that I am nervous would be an understatement. This will be the longest race I have ever run... by a whole lot.

My 5k Races
So remember how I wanted to get into the swing of things and run again? Yeah, I'm really slacking. I was doing great at first, but lately I've just been lacking motivation. When I get home from work I'd rather just be a slug most days than go out to the gym or run around… Continue reading My 5k Races
My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
I'm not new to running. I've been a "runner-in-progress" for over 4 years now. My running started in January 0f 2008 when a friend of mine, Heather, decided to get healthy and lose weight. We started working out together, which included running. I remember a huge sense of accomplishment with her when I ran my… Continue reading My Challenge: 6 Weeks to a 5k
