a small galaxy about the journey, the force, and the battle.

  • All  the medals, all the bling

    All the medals, all the bling

    Being a runner, is supposed to be simple right? Just pick a good pair of shoes and a road and you’re done….wrong! Not when you are training for a race! You need more roads, more shoes, fuel and proper time to train. Not to mention all the money to register for all those races you…

  • Life is funny but I am strong. 

    Life is funny but I am strong. 

    Life is something serious isn’t is?!?! It definitely has a sense of humor and sometimes I don’t laugh..well I’m lying. I do. With the diagnosis of the permanent nerve damage in my legs, it’s been hard to get higher mileage or hell, even back to my faster pace lately. But yesterday I freaking killed it!!!…

  • What’s in your bag?

    What’s in your bag?

    Our lives are in constant motion, we are always on the go and we sometimes don’t eat right. And of course we are always looking for the ideal form of nutrition on the go that will give us exactly what we want, but that will also taste good and not like…well…nutrition. I have been using…

  • Running the sweet life.

    So fall is literally around the corner, which makes me happy for MANY reasons. One of the reasons is because I get to see the trails I run on change. Yes it isn’t as dramatic as in New York maybe, but the leaves do fall and change colors. I do love LOVE a good scenic…

  • I am a dreamer.

    I am a dreamer.

    And My life isn’t a piece of cake, although it would be nice because I do enjoy cupcakes! But I do try my hardest to be positive and see the best in every situation because despite what they may be, you can find something positive in it. It seems for me, it keeps getting worse.…

  • Good bye August.

    Good bye August.

    Here we go again, another month has begun and another month has just passed by….flew by actually. August was full of activity for me. Wish it was all running and active outside sweating sessions but not all of it was. My little started school again so lots of running around for that and getting him…

  • Run the day, don’t let the day run you.

    Run the day, don’t let the day run you.

    Sometimes in life you can’t predict what will happen to you. Sometimes in life you surprise yourself. Bottom line, you never know what is going to happen.  That is why you should always be unstoppable. Life is tough so why make it tougher? Lately it has been a ridiculously rough bump for me. Between the double…

  • My mini-versary

    This day last year is a day I won’t forget….. I was at home playing and talking with my son in his room. My husband was on his way home from work. I stood up when I suddenly started to feel odd. I sat back down on the side of his bed and started to…

    #beOpen to new surroundings

    There are tons of headphones out there that we run with. Some are wireless, and some aren’t. Some get tangled up in your pocket and it takes forever and a day to untangle them when all you want to do is lace up and run right? Well I gave up those wired headphones YEARS ago!…

    Scoliosis Awareness Month comes to an end.

    As the month of June comes to an end, that means Scoliosis awareness month also comes to an end. I did lots of posts and information on instagram and twitter. I wrote several posts here on information about this painful disease that will drop you to your knees. And the best ways to deal with the pain. While…
