A New World Record

At least for me.
Today I walked the Wicked Halloween 5K.

It was my second race.
It was 29 degrees out when we left the house.
I was determined to better my record.

Decided to try a new strategy with my walk.

For my first walk two weeks ago, I listened to many experienced runners.
“Don’t start too fast so you can [...]

Conquering the Ten-Pound Challenge

Finally.
Two months ago I gleefully shared I had lost 50 pounds.

Since then I’ve lost the same 10 pounds over and over.
It’s been depressing.
And getting old.

My food was pretty clean.

Discovered I wasn’t eating enough.
Water weight from travel had some impact.

Plus they hooked us emotionally by involving us.

From the moment [...]

“Your website is a mess and not working.”
Huh?

Who was this clown?

He only gave me his first name.
Never heard of him or his company.
He didn’t say which of my three sites he was talking about.

“I can help you [...]

I Did a Personal Best

Feeling good.

Yesterday I walked the Big House Big Heart 5K

A year ago I could not walk a mile.
Unless I had several breaks.
This was a milestone for me.

I almost didn’t do it.

The night before I started wigging out.
Could I walk that far?
Would I have to be carried away on a stretcher?

I started seeing signs…

I [...]
