A challenging week

February 26, 2015 likeafinevino4 Comments

Late last week, I got sick with a head cold.  I can’t even tell you the last time I’ve been sick.  It’s been a while.  I attribute my healthy diet, running and managing stress to this immunity I’ve had.  I guess that even the most healthy of us can’t fight off all of the yucky… Continue reading A challenging week

The week started off well, with a 3.5 mile run on Monday, speed work intervals on Tuesday, and another 3.5 mile run on Wednesday.  Then on Thursday, we were supposed to get our taxes done and so I decided to make Thursday my rest day for the week.  Thursday night, I didn’t feel well and… Continue reading Week 2 of Marathon Training

Stop comparing yourself to others

February 17, 2015 likeafinevino6 Comments

Bear with me, folks; I need to have a bragging moment.  I have earned the following title: “World’s Okayest Runner” Don’t be jealous.  I ran a lot of miles and set and achieved a lot of running goals to get to the level of Okayest.  With a lot of blood, sweat and tears, you may also reach this… Continue reading Stop comparing yourself to others

Marathon training begins!

February 10, 2015 likeafinevino7 Comments

Yesterday was my first day of marathon training and it started off with little fanfare.  I don’t know what I was expecting: a big fireworks display, a small parade, or perhaps a Whitney Houston-worthy version sung of the Star Spangled Banner? Nope.  Marathon training started with an easy 3-mile run.  Tonight I’m doing 1:2 X… Continue reading Marathon training begins!

Karma

February 6, 2015 likeafinevinoLeave a comment

I’ve been reading a lot about philosophy and meditation, in particular about Jainism, which is an ancient religion from India that teaches that the way to liberation and bliss is to live a life of harmlessness and renunciation.  In particular, Jains live a life of non-violence and try not to cause any harm to other… Continue reading Karma
