In effort to finally lose the weight from my last pregnancy I decided to do whatever was posted on the bulletin board at my gym. It could be an exercise board game, new lifting program, or as it happens, it was the 10k/5k they sponsor. I hadn’t run with any regularity since 1996, when I did my first two 5ks. Four weeks out 3.1 miles, what’s the ( Read more... )

I survived. Actually I did much more than that, I had FUN. A truly glorious day filled with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and amazing people ( Read more... )

We busted our butts and got the house looking great. The storage rooms were cleared out and things put back on shelves in an organized looking fashion. The closets had things placed nicely, and refolded, they looked huge. I think that actually hurt a bit. She was blown away by the size of everything. To be fair our family is twice the size of ( Read more... )

I need to get off the computer and back to work on the house. We were planning to go on the market in early March, but a friend is coming to look at it tomorrow! While no where near show ready we are trying desperately to make it as appealing as possible. While it would mean a move on post for about 5 months before we move to VA I think it would ( Read more... )

As I noted before I've never completed a 10 mile run without my knee swelling such that I was unable to bend it enough to do stairs in a proper fashion. Yesterday I accomplished the previously impossible. I think it was a combination of factors, 1- I've been running a lot already, and pushed through some over use issues, 2- I did a good portion ( Read more... )

Perhaps. I hatched a plan. I want to follow through. I've tried something similar 3 times already and gave up part way through. I was afraid to say anything because of that fact. Also, I didn't want to be told I was crazy or I won't be able to do it. This time I have recruited friends. I've selected a race. If they would just announce the ( Read more... )

A month ago I decided I hadn't had a regular check up in a few years and should probably do that just because. I had my appointment on thursday. The have no idea why I am having hot flashes, but figure its a hormonal sensitivity thing and to let it go unless it causes significant issues in my life, such as not getting a decent night sleep. Uh, ( Read more... )

So I really need to 1) get some pictures and 2) figure out how to post them. Based on the location of the car dealership, what was the hardware store, the trailer park and where it hit K State I figured it just skirted to the other side of the hill. Not so. They are now talking about the damage done in the Miller Ranch area. That is basically ( Read more... )

We survived the storm unscathed. The sirens first went off 25 minutes before the tornado arrived, even before the rain arrived. We watched the local station with nonstop weather feed going and waited. We watched outside until it started to rain. The rotation of the storm was passing Junction City and the sirens went off again. Though to be ( Read more... )

I am going to be right up front with this, we are 30something dorks. I know and admit this fact. Rock Band has recently come into our home. We enjoy playing, and have most nights after the boys go to bed. In anxiousness to get started we just went with the default suggested band name and members. Our band name is taming silverfish. Its ok as ( Read more... )
