Sometimes life hands you lessons when you’re least expecting them. At the mall. No joke. I headed out to the mall on actual Black Friday afternoon and not a shocker I had to park a million miles away. Well not a million miles but at least a quarter of a mile away. I’ve never been […]

I did it, I hired a trainer! I’ve been fighting it for quite some time, largely because I couldn’t afford it. But as I said to my trainer when I met with him, “I can’t afford you but I can’t afford to not have you any more.” So I’ve done some budgeting, re-budgeting and then […]
{Boot Camp} Aftermath
posted by tnhillman
It hurts to sit. It hurts to walk. Hell, it hurts to laugh. No, I didn’t have a freak accident – – I just went to boot camp two days in a row. As I shared, I’m serious about trying to change my lifestyle and that involves working out more. I finally found a boot […]

As I discussed previously, I’m working hard to be ready for my friends wedding, which is early summer (read here). I’ve broken down and decided that if I have any kind of shot at getting ready I’m going to have to get a trainer. I’m not thrilled about the extra cost, but then again I’m […]

Since I’m going to be doing the Disney Half Marathon in January 2011, I decided that I should break up my gym workouts and do a little training outside, maybe one or two days a week. Since I didn’t have my car this weekend and couldn’t go to the gym, a story for another day, […]
Couch to 5k – Week 1 Day 1
posted by tnhillman
So last week, my friend Slinderella ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon. There is something about race day that makes your mind do weird things, so in my excitement I committed to running in the Disney Half Marathon in January 2011. Of course it wasn’t until after I said it that I realized I need […]

I did it before I could stop myself. I committed to running marathons. Sigh…what was I thinking! If you’ve ever been to a race before you know that watching other people cross the finish line is incredibly motivating, so much so that I lost my senses and decided to sign up for two! I […]
