She’s wearing white?!? Before Easter?!?

That’s right, folks. I’m bucking the age-old theory that you shouldn’t wear white before Easter with my white pants today. It’s just so nice outside that I felt like pulling out the more Springish clothes. So white pants, it is. Now, let’s see how long it is before I spill something on them. Another reason for the change in clothes is...

Mama got some new shoes

After several weeks of CrossFit, it was definitely sticking. Actually, I was stuck. I love some CrossFit. My running shoes just weren’t cutting it. The heal to toe differential kept causing me to roll forward during lifts, and the soft, cushy soles made things a little more difficult.

On December 4, I wrote about finishing the Jingle Bell Run. Since then I’ve run a few times, but with the cold, wet weather it makes it a little hard to get motivated. Yes, there...

Run Rebecca Run

For the third year in a row, I participated in the Jingle Bell Run. It’s a fun 5k that supports the Arthritis Foundation. This year, I had a goal. After last year’s race, when I walked the entire thing (I had just had a baby) I set a goal that I would run the next one. If you follow me, you know I’ve been trying to lose weight through working out...
