GOALS AND GROWTH FOR 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S FROM PHILADELPHIA! So, here it is, my 2012 “Goals and Growth” post!  As I mentioned in a previous post I’ve never really been one to make (or keep) New Year’s Resolutions and I don’t know that I would consider these resolutions or goals so much as growth for 2012.  “Goal” can be … Continue reading →

I’M MAKING A LIST AND CHECKING IT TWICE!

Ok, so I know Christmas is over, but that’s not the type of list I’m talking about.  I’m talking packing lists! Luckily I had today off from work because I have two separate trips coming up that I need to pack for and I desperately needed to do laundry!  So, three loads of laundry later … Continue reading →

IT TAKES A VILLAGE…

Yesterday when I got home from work there was a neatly wrapped present waiting for me.  Do I open it?  Do I have to wait until Christmas?  Well, since the present did not specifically say “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS” I assumed it was ok to go ahead and open it right away! Here’s what … Continue reading →

THE SOUND OF A RUN

Before I started running a few months ago I was definitely one of those people who thought running was REALLY BORING. I honestly couldn’t imagine what people do, or think about while just out there running along…well now I know!  Ok, well I don’t know what other people do, but I can tell you what … Continue reading →

BOOK RECOMMENDATION – THE LONG RUN

I’m an avid reader, so I thought it might be fun to occasionally share some things I’ve read and think others may enjoy! I figured I’d start with a book I read just a few months ago before my first half marathon and decided to re-read for some inspiration before my full marathon in January, … Continue reading →
