I also suffer from seizures. I do take preventative medications, and I have Lyssa the medical alert Doberman who…

When running happens…
Since running my marathon, it has been ridiculous. The first few days were fine. Just your typical mild soreness, but as you read in my marathon recap, my back did lock up on me and I am still experiencing it today….yuck! But then my fibromyalgia started to flare up worse than usual. So there’s that. Here…

25th Anniversary runDisney Marathon
WOW! To say that this weekend was memorable, it’s an understatement. From the Cigna blogger event, where we learned about nutrition and exercise in a fun way where we stacked cups, apples, did (fake) shot, played beer pong without the beer, oh yeah…we sang too.

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?
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…
