I suppose my absence from writing, and the subsequent abandonment of the C25K series could have lead a reader to believe that perhaps I’d given up on my pursuit of completing a 5k race; it would be logical to assume so. But my absence was not cause by the abandonment of the goal but instead…
Misery is so close, it stands in the corner like a silent unwelcome guest, waiting for just the right moment to envelop me. But I do not let it, instead I cling to a very slim but painful hope. Race day is just two days away and I am ready. I started training for my…
As of today I have completed run #2 of week 6 and am looking forward to finishing week six with an outside run this afternoon. Weeks 5 and 6 have really been great. The difficultly and self-doubt of weeks 3 and 4 are clearly behind me. I’m no longer using the C25K app when I…

I love the holiday season. It’s a great time to look back on the previous year and think about all we have accomplished.
