  • From a different perspective

    Life is tough, and there are constant obstacles that block our paths. But the outcome is all in how you see things. Having Scoliosis makes things much harder for me but I choose to see things from a different perspective. It’s much easier to cry all day, stay in bed, and live off of medications.…

    It’s just the beginning..

    Last week was the first week in a while that I stopped going to physical therapy. It seemed that each time I went, it was doing more harm than good. I am aware that I am very unique and simple, traditional forms of therapy won’t work. Unfortunately, after much discussion, it seemed best that I…

    Super heroes battles…

    In honor of the last few days left in June, I’m writing an update to my Scoliosis journey, for Scoliosis awareness month. I have been keeping you all as updated as I can with the latest. I have been seeing a lot of new people who are trying to help me with the pain that…

  • National Running Day 2015

    National Running Day 2015

    HAPPY NATIONAL RUNNING DAY!! So glad that runningday.org started this in 2009. Finally, a day where runners from across the world can celebrate running.

  • I can, I will.

    I can, I will.

    Since I last wrote, last week, a few things have changed. I was put on a strict medication routine that I wasn’t too happy about at first. The medicines make me drowsy and sleepy. So the first few days on the medicines all I did was sleep. Had trouble sleeping at night though because the…

    Stronger I will be

    I haven’t been writing much but here is why, and I hope to be back writing soon! I miss helping you all overcome injuries! As most of you know, I have been bed ridden for the past week and a half now. Long story short, after running my 8 training miles the day before mother’s…

  • Training for the NYC Marathon begins

    Training for the NYC Marathon begins

    As of April 1, I am officially in NYC Marathon mode. I create my own training schedule that fits to my abilities. So far it has been 3 to 4 miles every other day. I am starting off slow and easy. I make my schedules knowing where my weaknesses are and what I need to…

  • What a pain in the…heel?

    What a pain in the…heel?

    In running we find that sometimes we get injured. Sometimes we hurt in places where we didn’t know we could hurt! But here is a fairly common injury, the Achilles. When I ran the goofy challenge, it was one of new injuries I got. It hurt to put pressure on my heel and to flex…

    KT Tape does what?!?

    I know many of you ask me about the KT Tape and what it does and how it helps. I have written about it before but I am writing about it again as I use some new apps as well as some original ones. Many of you wonder what is this tape stuff? It’s simple…

  • Impossible is nothing.

    Impossible is nothing.

    What does the word “impossible” mean to you? For me it means a challenge that I gladly accept. Almost my whole life, many have told me that what I do is impossible. There is no way that someone with the severity of my Scoliosis can not be a runner, much less a marathoner. Having Scoliosis…
