As a mom of many, I know all about excuses... And if I havent used them all, I have probably at least heard them all. Excuses make my head hurt! We've all got 'em, we all use 'em- but we dont all let them define us! I squashed my excuses a few years back and took full responsibility for myself and my actions.
I am a strong mutha, serious about my health as well as the health of my family. I strive to set a good example and live by what I preach: Motion is lotion/garbage in, garbage out/you are your actions, not your words... I hope to help others learn ways to get in exercise and a healthy lifestyle without extremes or burnouts. Simple, eveyday tactics to Get The Job Done!!
And yes- usually WITH your kids!!

Dont Let It End!!!

This is the sentiment that my last 3 or so runs have ended with. I get to the stopping point, wether it be miles, time or what have you- I am just not ready to stop running. I take that as a good sign!
Saturday's 5K, I just wanted to keep going... Even running as late as 9pm Tuesday- I had to pick up my son from a party and just didnt want to quit. And today, at the track- monotonous as it was- When I saw the Garmin click to 3 miles and I remembered my promise to the kids of a 30 minute workout- bummed was all I could be. I just want to keep running, not fast-not hard, just moving!
So, I have visions of a dbl header today... will this current feeling last until 8 or so tonight when I finally have a chance to do it again?? We shall see- I am ready! Of course, I still have to bodyrock it today :)

Bronco 5K









I really love local 5K's! It is so cool to see all the runners/walkers out- just really nice to be surrounded by by people who like to be active and like to run vs ones who just think youre crazy. I love cheering on the runners coming in as well as the walkers who you unfortunately dont see out walking nearly enough. I had a blast! I ran with a friend, who finally let her competitive spirit come out and totally whooped me :)I made a PR, but didnt place this time- it was a FAST crowd this go around! The winners in my age group were all 20-22 minute finishers; I wasnt even close with my 24:59 (reported as 25:13-grrrrr) My one and only complaint about this race is the fact that the finish line is not clear... Once you hit the chute, coordinators are telling you to slow or stop, but the times reported dont match the times on the jumbotron; which leads me to think they are telling you to slow/stop too soon. I know 14 seconds isnt much- but thinking I broke 25 minutes was HUGE for me! I couldnt help but be catapulted from cloud 9 when I saw the results on paper :(
Ahhh well, another one down. All fun- loved having all my running friends in one spot doing what we love to do!! Cant wait to do it again!
