Hellllooooo!!!!!! Hey Becky so glad to see you here. Sorry, I have not posted in a very long time!!!! Work keeps me soooo busy. I am running but only a little, and when I do, it's mostly 1:1 run/walk/run intervals. However, I have done some 5Ks lately and if I am feeling okay, I will do 5:1 intervals instead. No straight…

Hi Becky!!!!! It is great to hear from you!!! How fun to be able to spend time with your grandson. Eight months is a very fun time for sure!!! Hope that PT is going well! I've been thinking I need a chiro myself. Haven't been to one in a few years. My running is okay, not to great, but okay. I did the half but was not…

Hello!!!! Happy spring! Becky, did you get that snow? I guess where you are, March snow isn't all that unusual. We have had a lot of strong storms lately, and more are on the way tonight. My half marathon is next weekend! Yikes! I am so not ready but I will finish. It might be walking, but it's going to get done. Yesterday…

Fit Force please!!!

Good Morning! Spring is in the air! Well, it ha been slow this year, but we have had some beautiful days and now the daffodils are out. It's wonderful! I did Hot Chocolate, just the 10k this year because I have gotten so slow that I don't think I could have finished the 15K in the time limit. Next up, Oak Barrel Half…

Good Morning! Becky, it is wonderful to hear from you. I also get migraines and just had a very bad episode. I don't know if it is weather related or what. I don't get the really bad ones too often, thank goodness. But this one really took me down. I hope your doctor can offer something to help. We had flooding this past…

Hello!!!! Hi Becky!!! We have had a little bit of snow but at least it didn't stick. And then the cold. Oh my gosh, the cold. Today it is supposed to warm up a little. I am doing my spring half marathon training. Hope I can do it. I don't care about my pace so much this time, I just want to finish! I've been trying to get…

Happy New Year!!! It is hard to deal with this cold - we are not used to it in Tennessee. We did have some freezing rain and a dusting of snow, but nothing that mattered - not bad at all. But now they are predicting snow for Friday. I did a 10K on December 28th, I was like fifth from last, but it's fine, I am trying! And…

Hi Becky!!!!!! So glad to hear from you! Did you have a good Thanksgiving? We went to Michigan. So cold and windy up there. I can't believe Christmas is just two weeks away. I am NOT ready., We have had the same weather, on and off cold and warm. And some wind. I've been okay so far in knowing how to dress for running. I…

I would like to try Fit Force please. 😀

Good Morning! "Long" run for me today. Long is not very long anymore. But I did sign up for a half in the spring so I will be doing more "long" runs soon. It is still pretty warm here and very dry. We did get a little bit of fall color, but it's mostly just dry and now the leaves are beginning to fall off. We have not had…

Hello!!!!!! Here to say hello! We finally got some cooler weather, but it was really just for a few days. Now the nights are chilly but the days are warm. We have had a lot of sun, no rain for a long time, and we really need it. I've been trying to stay on top of things, but it gets so hectic and I get so tired. I have…

Becky!!!! Congrats Grandma! Do you have a grandma name picked out? Will you be Grandma, or Nana, or Mimi? Or something else? That is sooooo exciting! Sharon is doing okay, she still is running a lot, and tending to her organic garden. We have had some very much needed rain, and some wind, but we have not had the…

Hello!!!! Hope all is well, and Becky, I am always so happy to hear from you. How do you freeze your tomatoes? I should try to do that. My mom and sister can their tomatoes and that is just too much work for me right now with my job. I've been hitting the Y twice a week for strength training and still trying to run as much…

Count me in please!

It is so hot here too - but not super humid, at least not today, thank goodness. Becky, sounds like it might be worse weather there than here as far as that goes. Our air quality is bad. I went out after work and I always roll my window down, but like you said, kind of difficult to breath. Some of my GFs and I went for a…

Good Morning! It's great to hear from you! I am with you on the sugar. That is definitely an issue for me right now. I am struggling. Plus, no matter how well I do, I am gaining weight very fast. I upped my activity, added a lot more freggies, and I am still gaining. I am finding it hard to run with this extra weight on…

@cinemaverick good to see you here! I am no longer running endurance distances, my body hates me right now (health issues). I have a running coach who thinks I can run longer distances once again, but I have gotten terribly slow at this point and my nutrition is not on par - as a result, I have gained weight for the first…

Well said @cinemaverick though I do love to get some speedwork in every week!

Becky!!! Hello!!!! So sorry I have been missing in action. I get so exhausted these days and so overwhelmed and then I just forget to post. School starts here in just over a week. So I guess summer is effectively over. I am not ready for fall. I am trying to run but lately have been plagued with fatigue. Went back to…

Becky, I was SOOOO glad to hear from you as we have heard about the horrible flooding. It doesn't sound good and I am sorry about your garden. Our weather has been extremely hot and humid - it usually is here, but sometimes it has been worse than usual. I'm also still doing the Y and going to run when I am able. Today I…

Hi Becky!!! Sorry, I haven't been here as much lately - lots going on. We've been spending a lot of time at my MIL's house in Kentucky. If we just go for the day, that is five hours of driving. But DH went for a week and I went for a several days, came home to check on the cats, then went back. And work...have been working…

Please add me to the Tenacious Gr8ter team please!

Becky, I am so very sorry to hear about your niece! So young and with small kids, that is just hard. So good that you were able to get to NH - did you fly or drive? That is a long way. The weather here has been crazy. We have also had a lot of wind, tornadoes, hail, flooding, etc. Thankfully it has been nice the past few…

Hello!!! Becky, hope your knees calm down. The weather here is getting hot and the cicada broods are going to be out soon. 13 years ago they weren't too bad. The time before that, they were just awful. I doubt I will get much outdoor time in when they are out, which could potentially last as long as six weeks. Today I got…

Hey!!!!! Busy here too, and still working on the weight thing - don't know how this ten pounds creeped up after ten years of maintenance but it has to go - it is making my running too slow and painful! I did a "race" yesterday, didn't race, ran a little but mostly walked. It was really nice but pretty much one big very…

Hey Beckie!!! My joints don't love me either - it's my knees a little but my feet, wow. I never had this kind of problem with my feet. It might be from the psoriatic arthritis/RA. But I figure just getting out there and doing something is okay! We've had a lot of wind too, but it's all green here and we've been mowing now…

Good Morning! I have been AWOL for a while. Seriously, life had gotten so crazy busy and I was so exhausted and not feeling well at all - just trying to do too much. I think that things are calming down a bit - I hope so. It was the kind of exhaustion where I couldn't even sleep, so it was just a never ending cycle. Over…

Hello!!!! Spring is in the air!!! I am ready for it. We have a lot of things blooming and blossoming. Becky, no, we don't have anyone coming to help my MIL. She won't allow anyone in her house. She needs some help though. And she is getting forgetful too, so that is a worry. And my mom, she had a couple of incidents…
