This past New Years Eve, I didn't spend the last few hours of the year in a drunken stupor or anything silly like that. I spent it pretty low key at home with the kids. We had pizza, Chinese food and we watched movies. It was nice and exactly the way we needed to ring in 2017. And also the next morning I had plans to start the year out running. So yep, I ran my first 5k on the first day of the … [Read more...]

Couch to 5k Week 4 – Holy Crap Breathing, Batman
March 7, 2016 by Leave a Comment
So I just finished Week 3 and started Week 4, and I am not going to lie this week has been a struggle. Running for five minutes straight makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry, but I can't do that. I know that the more I work at it that the better it will get. But in the mean time it doesn't mean that I don't want to quit. Because I finished the week late because well, it seemed like … [Read more...]

And here is my encouraging spiel: Even if you've never excersized a day in your life, YOU CAN DO THIS. I'll admit that roller derby has given me an advantage to accomplish this, … [Read more...]
Couch to 5k Week 2
February 22, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I survived Week 1 of Couch to 5k without dying or quitting. And I only think I survived it because I am not a completely sedentary person. Roller derby has thankfully helped that. It just hasn't helped with my breathing so much. And that seriously is where most of the struggle lay, I can move my legs all day, but I start feeling like my lungs are going to explode and with that comes the puking … [Read more...]

August 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It seems like forever and a day that I have tried to get back into shape. And by trying I mean doing a bit of this and a bit of that and giving up rather quickly. This time though I think I have really found the fitness "thing" for me. I'm just talking out of my ass right? Nope not this time. Seriously I attended my first Zumba class around three months ago and fell in love. The … [Read more...]
