Gym update

January 12, 2017 likeafinevino8 Comments

Hello!  How has your week been so far?  Another 3-day weekend is coming up, which I’m very excited about.  Kayla had her surgery on Monday and things went well.  She was able to go home that night and has been staying with us during her recovery.  She has some pain and needs assistance getting around,… Continue reading Gym update

Courage

January 8, 2017January 8, 2017 likeafinevino6 Comments

Our family trip to Grand Canyon in May of 2015 has been on my mind all afternoon.  It was such a great trip and the Grand Canyon is so amazingly beautiful.  The photo above is one of my favorites because the girls and I were giving David a heart attack every time we stepped close to… Continue reading Courage

My first week at the gym

November 19, 2016 likeafinevino3 Comments

Guys, I survived my first week at the gym!  If you missed it, my husband and I decided to join our local gym and signed up to work with a personal trainer for a few weeks. I….am….HOOKED! I found the idea of going to a gym intimidating and I was really nervous the days leading… Continue reading My first week at the gym

20-mile run (or the run that didn’t happen)

September 3, 2016 likeafinevino8 Comments

For the first time in my marathon training career (including the training I did for my first marathon in 2015), I did not finish a long run.  I was supposed to do 20 miles today, and I quit at 12. I’ve been dreading this run all week.  But to be candid, I dread all of… Continue reading 20-mile run (or the run that didn’t happen)

18 miles

August 22, 2016 likeafinevino5 Comments

This past week, I was sick with a cold.  Seriously?  A cold in August?  It kicked my ass.  I didn’t work out at all and it couldn’t have come at a worse time, as I started my new job and I had things planned for the weekend:  an 18-mile run on Friday and a 37-mile… Continue reading 18 miles

14 miles on treadmill

July 25, 2016 likeafinevino7 Comments

Happy Monday, my friends!  This past weekend was HOT.  And HUMID.  God.  It was the kind of weather that almost made me nostalgic for winter.  Almost. I had a 14-mile run slated for the weekend.  There was no choice for me but to do it early Saturday morning, as we were watching my daughter’s boyfriend’s… Continue reading 14 miles on treadmill

One Year Anniversary

July 7, 2016 likeafinevino13 Comments

I’ll never forget those words that the doctor said to Kayla: You have ovarian cancer. A year ago today, our lives completely changed.  I knew the anniversary date was coming up, but I’ve tried not to think about it because I didn’t intend to acknowledge any kind of anniversary.  The last year has been difficult… Continue reading One Year Anniversary

Monday Musings: Body Image

June 20, 2016 likeafinevino12 Comments

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Damn, look at me!  I’m so sexy!” Nope.  Haven’t done that. I look back at images at myself when I was young and thin and even back then, I always thought there was something wrong with my body.  I see my daughters doing the same thing.… Continue reading Monday Musings: Body Image

Athlete mentality

May 19, 2016 likeafinevino5 Comments

It’s Thursday and we’re getting close to the weekend!  How has your week been so far?  I’ve had a really good week.  My eating has been on track and I’ve done all of the workouts on my marathon training plan.  However, this tends to be my pattern.  I do really well during the week and then on… Continue reading Athlete mentality

Alien parasite

May 9, 2016 likeafinevino2 Comments

I watched a movie over the weekend called The 5th Wave.  It’s about an alien invasion that happens in coordinated attacks; the first wave involves taking away all of the electricity, the second wave is a big tidal wave that wipes out much of the human population; and the third wave, which hits humans with… Continue reading Alien parasite
