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
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)
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
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
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
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
Kayla finished her last chemo treatment yesterday. We were blessed to have my dad and stepmom here with us. We were blessed to have a wonderful oncology nurse give Kayla her last treatment. The nurse was an older woman and we’d never had her before. She gave Kayla a hug and she talked to Kayla… Continue reading Last chemo treatment
Since Kayla’s cancer diagnosis, our lives are completely different. Our day-to-day routine has become a new normal for us. Things that we’ve taken for granted before have now become small pleasures that we savor. There are so many things that I could bitch about. This whole thing sucks, as anyone can imagine. But I don’t want… Continue reading Small pleasures
Our 3-day weekend ended up being a one-day weekend on Saturday with the rest of the holiday weekend spent in the hospital. On Sunday morning, Kayla fainted after waking up with a fever. She was taken by ambulance to the ER and was admitted. Today is Tuesday and she is still in the hospital. Her… Continue reading Pity party
I haven’t run in weeks. I just can’t get into any kind of rhythm. Between Kayla’s hospital stays, doctor appointments, and caring for her, I can’t get any kind of routine going that includes running. Yes, I can squeeze in a run here….a run there….but I don’t feel like I’m getting anything out of running… Continue reading Hiatus from running
