Rn too. I sleep in on my night shift then nap. I usually have a "breakfast meal" before my 7 pm shift. I will pack a salad then split it in my 12 hour shift. I will have my "supper" at about 9:30 pm. For snacks I pack fruit,cereal, yogurt. The thing that kills me is, I shop in the morning as I live rural, not always…

I think star wars 1/2 is going to be awesome! I don't feel ready for a 1/2 marathon right now, so I signed up for the Tinkerbell run in May 2015. Very excited. How is your training going?

Some advice that I got from my doctor friend who is my running inspiration...1 walk thru the water stations....2 for every hour you are out there, eat your beans or gel. 3 go easy on your nite before eating, or you will poop your pants. Ok, maybe not, but your tummy will thank you.

I am very proud of my achievements as a heavy runner. I also get great joy in surrounding myself with the positive supportive nature of the running community. My family along with some co-workers have made a few remarks that stick with me, such as "you don't have a runners body" and because you are heavy it is bad for your…

I am so used to feeling invisible that I am uncomfortable whenever anyone notices anything new or changed about me. I wonder if the comments come from a sincere place or if it is just conversation. I usually politely say thanks then try to change the topic off of me. Gaining weight for me was done secretly, so losing…
