I’ve made a promise to myself. Well, technically someone else heard said promise, so I guess I made a promise to her, as well. Today marks the start of week two of my third go ‘round of a little flick in my life I’ve entitled “Running for Women – The Beginner. Still.” The opening montage […]

For most of my life, I’ve been unable to run or do a lot of exercises comfortably. The main issues early on tended to be my knees. While in high school, I was diagnosed with chondromalacia. Now, I don’t recall if that was a diagnosis based purely on my explaining my symptoms to my doctors […]

I have to say, I’m feeling more than a little disappointed. Since I began this process last year, it seems I have come across obstacle after obstacle. Whether they be physical, emotional, universal or Mother Nature….al. I feel like whenever my heart joyfully cheers “Go for it!” and my head cautiously agrees “Yes, go ahead […]

Another week is in the book of trails. Or trials. It all depends on how you view the journey. Each week, as expected, the intensity gets more and more difficult. With this week’s rotation, I became reacquainted with my shin splints (or “medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS)” if you’re anatomically in the know, as I […]
