Why Run?
I follow several fitness and running sites on Facebook, and they often ask why runners run. It seems that each time they ask, I could give a different answer. And sometimes I have no idea why I continue to run – those are the days running isn’t going so well. There are so many reasons to…

For My Father
On this Father’s Day, I cannot help but think of loss. My father, Rex Greenland, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 42; I was seven. Though I was young and have few memories of my dad, I have many memories of the day he died. The night before, my sister, Bobbi,…

Stop Eating Crap!
The title is directed at me. I am sure that you enjoy a nice healthy meal and you eat veggies and fruits for between-meal snacks. Me? I eat crap. A lot. I have no self-control when it comes to eating. Just in case you think I am exaggerating, here’s a rundown of yesterday’s intake: Breakfast –…

Running a 5k with daughter – check!
About a year ago, I began to create a bucket list. I had always had some ideas, but hadn’t taken the time to write them down. I believe that we are more likely to meet our goals and go after our dreams if we actually put them in writing. Some of the items on my…

Running a Mini
First, let me say that this is my second writing of this post. I wrote over 2000 words, hit post, and it disappeared! I had spent a lot of time on that one, so with any luck, this one will go through. Anyway…here goes round two… As I was lined up with 18,000 other runners…

Nana’s Gonna Run 13.1!
The weekend is upon us. The weekend of the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon, that is. Gary and I have been planning this weekend for months, and I am thrilled it is finally here, but with it comes apprehension. I am pretty certain I can bust out 13.1 miles. The adrenaline rush from the other 17,999…

Run On, Friends
I cannot believe it’s been a month since I even looked at my blog. Spring is always incredibly busy for our family; Addison is on the tennis team, academic teams, and in We the Youth (a leadership program). Gary and I have been training for the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon that takes place next weekend,…

Okay, I admit it…
This weekend there is a 5k and 10k race in Owensboro. My friends are running it, and I should be running it. I really should run the 10k with Jackie and Kassi, and I want to, but…I haven’t signed up. I can run the 6.2 miles. And there is supposed to be an awesome pancake…

Motivation (or Lack Of!)
The weather continues to baffle us here in the midwest. Monday, I ran wearing three layers, running tights, an earband, and gloves. Tuesday, I ran wearing shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt – and I was sweating like it was July. Last night it was pleasant when we ran; a long-sleeved t-shirt and yoga pants were…

Did I Miss Winter?
I am beginning to feel as if I slept through winter. The past two mornings when I awoke, the sun was shining brightly through our windows and the birds were singing spring tunes. Don’t get me wrong – I haven’t missed crawling out of my warm bed on bitter cold mornings, or risking my life…
