Three Months Post-Op
I can’t believe it’s been three months since my knee surgery. When I was still in pain, time seemed to move at a snail’s pace, but lately the weeks are flying by. With each new week, my knee and leg feel stronger. If I have a hard workout, I might still limp, but I don’t…

I Ran Today…
…and I mean really ran! The last time I blogged, which was not long ago, I was running a slow mile. Today I ran five miles, without walking, at a 10:07 pace!! I was pretty much to the point that I regretted my surgery, and felt I’d never be able to run again. I just…

Gotta Tabata!
I have a hundred things I need to do this evening, and writing isn’t really a necessity, but sometimes I just have something to say. Combine that with time by myself, and I am going to write. Surprisingly, I don’t plan to whine in this blog – not one bit. This week I embarked on…

Just What I Was Afraid Of
About four and a half years ago, Gary and I began running and our journey toward fitness and a healthier lifestyle. For the first several months, I worried that I would quit because that’s what I had always done. I would get excited about exercise, and then after a few weeks, I would skip a…

Getting My Mojo Back
It’s been three weeks and three days since surgery. It seems much longer. It’s been three weeks and four days since I really exercised, and I am beginning to really miss my workouts. Tuesday I decided to go for a walk after a meeting at school. I wanted to listen to my music, and see…

16 Days Post-Op…Losing Patience
I am not a patient person, but it’s expected because patience runs thin on my mom’s side of our family. It is one of my character flaws, but since I am basking in mid-life, I have just accepted it. And so I am 16 days post-op, and recovering as expected – by the doctor; I…

We Survived Atlanta Mania!
This past weekend, my husband and I had the opportunity to attend Atlanta Mania, a conference for the fitness industry held in Atlanta. Gary and I arrived a day early so we could each be certified to teach new classes. Gary was certified in Schwinn Indoor Cycling, and I was certified in Tabata Bootcamp. My…

Lessons Learned
It seems my blogs get fewer and fewer as we get busier. I figured I might as well take advantage of being home sick today. I have been plannning to write about the next chapter in our fitness journey, and the lessons we have learned along the way. The past four years, Gary and I…

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…

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…
