Running, being a girl mom, changing lives.
Life is hard! I have reflected over the past few weeks and have realized the month of April has been a struggle for me for years. This year is no exception but now I've made the realization and I am working on it. My runs are down. My step counts are down. I have not … Continue reading Let’s Be Real
Ahh April 1st. Mostly jokes. The birthday of the US Navy Chiefs. A new month is full of possibilities. This is a time for reflection and setting goals.

Yesterday I received news that my great aunt and A's great great aunt passed away very early in the morning. She had been sick with stupid cancer.

For years I decided that there was too much greed taking place on Christmas and would rather celebrate and focus on Thanksgiving. There probably is … Continue reading As Christmas Nears
Yesterday I did not hit my step goal for the first time in a hundred and thirty something days. While there's a twinge of disappointment I am okay with it. Things like this happen. Yesterday was the service for my Pepaw. It was a nice service and super super cold. After the service I just … Continue reading The end of a streak
