It's been awhile!
There is a lot to catch everyone up on! I have been out of the loop for the holidays and a couple pet sitting gigs, but I’m here and ready to do this!
First I need to start with the 5k. It was awesome!! The feeling of crossing that finish line was amazing. I forgot how good it felt to compete and actually finish something I never thought I could. Dr. Skyler and I ran 3 minutes walked 1...

Bubby's Life
Tonight I spent the night amongst family and friends. Some I knew, some I did not. But we were all there for one purpose… to celebrate Bob Williams life. Bob was a dear friend and the closest thing I had to a dad down here in Texas. He looked after me and loved me as if I was his own blood. And I loved him the same way. From getting down on the ground and changing my tire to installing...
just keep running
I’m so tired but I have to tell you…………….
I ran my 1st mile WITHOUT stopping since high school!!!!!!
Wasn’t a great time, but who cares???
It’s awesome!!
2 months ago I didn’t even want to walk a mile let alone run a mile!
HELL YA!!!
and seriously…if i can do it, so can you! get out there and run people:)
I’m going to...
I'm crazy!
partly because I’m crazy and partly because I wanted to eat everything in sight I decided to run tonight too. Run/walk 2 miles. Each day it gets a little easier! So satisfying! I put 46 & 2 on repeat on my ipod. Never really listened to the words before, but as I was running and all I could see was my shadow beside me, and in front of me, the song hit home.
I’ve been crawling...
Wait...what?
I am so confused! Am I training for a 5k or a triathlon? I must have forgotten because today when I got into the pool I felt like vomiting after only a few laps! Must not forget…I am not just running. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. Oh crap…and I have to bike too! haha. Too many sports, too little time;)
Okay so a couple of updates on sites that I have found to be quite...
Tempted by brownies..
Why are brownies so delicious? Why does one brownie lead to 4 or 5? I’ll tell you why…because they’re awesome!! I didn’t do all bad today, despite the brownies. I did run/walk 2 miles again. 25 crunches and 20 push ups. Tomorrow I will blog more. As for right now, I’m falling asleep while writing this..zzzz…
Brrr...
I’m sitting outside breathing in the brisk Texas air. Probably not the best idea for a girl who is fighting off a cold of some sort. But the air reminds me of home and home is where I long to be. I can’t put my finger on it, the reason why the air makes me miss home. Maybe it’s because Maine is cold ALL of the time. Or it may just be because I am busy planning and organizing...

Day One (take two)
Yesterday I felt sick and down in the dumps so instead of getting up and exercising, I stayed in bed and did NOTHING. Sometimes that is just want your body needs though. Mine apparently did because I woke up, blew the snot of my nose, cleared my throat and felt like a brand new woman! Too much information?
I ate breakfast today!
3/4 cup oatmeal (minus...
My 1st 5k!
I haven’t done the 5k yet but I did sign up! Keep checking back so you can see how I’m training for it and the results the day after Christmas! My plan is to do one 5k a month to lead up to the Triathlon! I’m getting excited!

I'm Back!
There is one word to describe the last 3 weeks of my life.
WOW.
On November 2nd I was taken to the hospital by my boss for a possible stroke. I was working when all of the sudden the corner of my mouth drooped and my left side of my face became paralyzed. Next my arm started tingling, then my leg. I felt fine otherwise.
While in the hospital I got test after test after test. The ER Doctor...

The beginning!
This is where it starts. This is when I stand up and fight. I’m hoping by posting daily I will not only inspire myself but inspire others. I will begin by telling you a little about myself. It’s hard for me to even write down the truth, example numbers and feelings. Please do not judge or look at me any differently. I am still the same Ali that you know and hopefully love! Join...
