Let the training begin!
Time to get back to writing about running and fitness. Both have become such a focal point in my husband’s and my life over the past three and a half years, and especially in the past three months as Gary has worked to lose almost fifty pounds (Can I hear a ‘Woo Hoo’!), and I […]

In Memory of Stephen
One year ago this week, my young nephew, Stephen, died. As we journey through this week, our thoughts go back to this last year, when amidst back-to-school preparations and our town’s annual Schweizer Fest, our family was planning a funeral for a 26 year old young man. The following is a story I wrote about […]

Is Age Only a Number?
I ran this morning. For the first time in weeks, I actually had a great run. It wasn’t fast, but I ran six miles with no walk breaks, which is something I haven’t done since it has been crazy hot. I had taken three days off running and focused on Zumba, weights, walking, and even […]

Summer Workout(s)
As I write this post, I wonder where summer 2012 has gone. My windows have not been cleaned, my cabinets are still unorganized, I haven’t made that trip to Indy to visit Bethany and Erin, and yet there are only three short weeks left of break. I spent all day Tuesday at school getting my […]

Today happens to be one of those days. I am in Northwest Indiana with my friend Kim. She is presenting professional development at […]

It’s too stinkin’ hot!
I am a self-professed lover-of-all-things-summer. I love hot weather; I love sitting on my deck in the sun with a great book; I love working up a good sweat on a run. Hamburgers on the grill, sleeping in, fresh corn on the cob, ice cream – what could be better? Temperatures for two weeks over 100 […]

Another First…
I have never belonged to a gym. I didn’t think I would be dedicated enough to spend the money, and I could run outside with no cost (other than shoes and clothes for every season and a GPS watch and an Ipod…). That all changed this morning. Addison and I got up early, went to […]

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, […]
