Today, after work, I felt this incredible need to go for a run. It was a frustrating day towards the end. I was tired of the day-to-day frustration that can be my job where I constantly wonder why it is not possible to plan ahead (that's a whole other blog!). I was feeling  impatient and… Continue reading The Track

To translate the title of this post: How do you rest (relax)? This is a question that my Intermediate French professor asked me today. After some quick contemplation all I could think to respond was: Je ne me repose pas! (I do not relax!) While this may not be 100% accurate (of course I rest… Continue reading Comment Te-Tu Repose?

Last night I completed my first 25 minute run on the C25K (Couch to 5K) running program without taking a break. I am on Week 7 and from Day 3 on Week 6 the runs have been in 25 minute blocks. In the grand scheme of things I know that 25 minute really is not… Continue reading 25 Minutes

Well it's almost 9am in what should be sunny Las Vegas. At 8:15am I finished Day 1 of Week 3 of C25K. I got up early, got dressed, brushed my teeth and once I was sure it wasn't raining (just really ugly cloudy) I started the day's run. Yes, friends, it hasn't even been two… Continue reading Week 3 Begins

Tonight I started back on my running program. This past summer I had started on the C25K (Couch to 5K) program after being inspired by a friend. I got to Week 6 (in about 9 weeks) but stopped. I had all sorts of excuses. They closed the gym closest to me and I didn't want… Continue reading Here I Go Again!

Last night I posted on Facebook that I considered Guns & Roses one of my guilty pleasures. A couple of friends commented that Guns & Rose really should not be considered a guilty pleasure. Not fully agreeing with the sentiment I decided to look the phrase up. Wikipedia supplied this definition: Guilty pleasure is something one… Continue reading Guilty Pleasures

This month is National Novel Writing Month. I don't know if this is something that has been officially been declared as such by the powers that be like October being Breast Cancer Month or February being Black History Month. For all I know a few people, writers no doubt, got together over drinks as some… Continue reading To Write A Novel or Not

This afternoon I found myself at the gym running on the treadmill. It was one of those afternoons where I could have tried to concentrate on my work (which I had no desire to do), curl up in a ball on my bed and been upset about how life just isn't fair or I could… Continue reading The Gym

Today would have been my mom's sixty-sixth birthday. For those who don't know, my mom died fourteen years ago on January 7th after a year-long fight with lung cancer. She was a wonderful woman who loved to shop and laugh and loved being with her grandchildren. I miss my mom every day of my life.… Continue reading May 17th

I haven't written here for over a month. I could pretend that I've just been too busy with my real life to take the time to share my thoughts. That would be a lie. Yes I'm busy, yes my life tends to interfer with things like writing a blog that is oddly enough supposed to… Continue reading Anger
