Some people criticize me when I refer to myself as the Before Picture. They think I’m insulting myself. On the contrary, I feel as if I am motivating myself. I obviously have a different interpretation of the Before Picture. To me, the Before Picture is referencing someone who sees there might be obstacles in their […]

Here’s something. Something I figured out a while ago, but only recently accepted. Now that I’m a three-time Veteran of the Beginning Running for Women’s class, I’ve come to realize…I’m spoiled. It occurred to me while I was completing my honor run at the gym this week. On a treadmill. I was bored. B. O. […]

I’ve made a promise to myself. Well, technically someone else heard said promise, so I guess I made a promise to her, as well. Today marks the start of week two of my third go ‘round of a little flick in my life I’ve entitled “Running for Women – The Beginner. Still.” The opening montage […]

This is right around when things started to go awry for me and my ability, desire and self-confidence. …mostly my self-confidence. This was close to the time when I first began to […]

Odd. I keep coming back to this place to read all new and exciting things that have been posted by the writers. But there’s nothing new. Just the same old stuff. What have the writers been doing since their last entry? How have they been spending time while they should have been keeping me entertained […]

The RFW Spring session’s goal run is in the books. We finished it in fine fashion, if I do say so myself – on behalf of us all. Some of the more experienced runners opted to run the entire 5K, while others decided to stick by the strictly timed intervals of their own choosing. Kind […]
