This Girl is Losing It: Two to Go
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/04/two-to-go.html
Thursday, April 14, 2011. I have two days until my half marathon. I'm super busy, but I'm also trying to relax my mind. I've been packing my street wear (normal human clothing) and also my running gear. I've also been packing for the twins. Oh yeah, a running mommy. That's me! If someone told me a year ago that I would be running a half marathon, I would've peed myself from laughing so hard. Now I'm just peeing myself from nerves. Just kidding. I am feeling my nerves kicking in though. 4 packets of Gu.

This Girl is Losing It: Blood, Sweat, and Tears
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/03/blood-sweat-and-tears.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Blood, Sweat, and Tears. I don't know about other runners out there, but I enjoy watching people run on TV. I've watched marathons, tri's, and ironman competitions. And I've cried every time I witness someone run across the finish line whether. They're first or last. This may sound strange, but I cry. I guess I picture myself crossing that finish line with them. I imagine the blood, sweat, and tears that took to get there. I have the ongoing blood blisters. Glad to hear from you!

This Girl is Losing It: From One to Another
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2010/10/from-one-to-another.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. From One to Another. People ask me, "Why do I run? Because it's addicting. It's addicting because the fat melts off your body VERY quickly. It clears my head,. The weather is getting cooler, and. It's my 'me time.'". I just finished reading Tricia's latest post. And I totally agree with her. As runners, we put our bodies through a lot. As I've told my new doc, I can block out 90% of the pain when I'm running. He said, "That's great for a runner, but it isn't exactly safe.".

This Girl is Losing It: No More Wind, Please
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/03/no-more-wind-please.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. No More Wind, Please. Yesterday I ran 6 miles with my friend, B, and "windy" doesn't describe it. It was so windy that when it was done, I wiped my faced and took off a few layers of dirt and dust. It was pretty gross, but I felt like a champ. The hills by her house are so steep that they make the hills by mine look like "a walk in the park.". The good news is that I'm no longer intimidated by them. I am however feeling those hills in my left calf. Cant wait to read more. ALL POUN...

This Girl is Losing It: And the Beat Goes Running Running Running
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-beat-goes-running-running-running.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. And the Beat Goes Running Running Running. I haven't blogged since January. Since then I've come off the no carbs diet for two weeks. I don't have a lot of carb cravings right now, so I think it helped. I also lost 10 pounds, which puts me at a healthy BMI again. I ran 10 miles on Friday, and I'll be running 11 this coming Friday. My 10K is in two weeks, and the half marathon is next month. I'm super excited, and I can see that I can totally run the entire time. Keep working at it!

This Girl is Losing It: Oh Boy
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2010/10/oh-boy.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Okay, I confess. This week could've been better. Last Monday I did some kickboxing for 30 minutes. I know it has been a while since I've done that kind of workout,. But my legs and buns were killing me the very next day. I think it was the million squats and kicks I did. Anyway, I was super sore, and took a couple of days off. How bad was that? This leg injury has gotten me lazy. You may be asking, "How is she able to do kickboxing with this leg injury? What do you think? Anyway...

Thursday, October 14, 2010. So I've been out of commission.

Probably about 10 times. What was my longest run since then? Probably 4 miles. How often did I hurt after running? Probably every single time. I went to my family physician. He had X-rays taken. He had an ultrasound done on my entire left leg. He told me to jog ...

This Girl is Losing It: Just Say No
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/01/just-say-no.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Part of the success with blogging is that it has helped me. Be accountable to you, my readers. I can't shove junk down my throat and feel good. Keeping it from you. I've decided that all the sugar and fat that I've eaten. During the holidays and just recently my mom's "sweet" 60th birthday bash. Has taken its toll on my body, mind, and spirit. I decided a couple of days ago that I need to flush out my sugar and fat cravings. Keeping me from being diabetic. Today is Day 1. The w...

This Girl is Losing It: Four Days to Go
http://thisgirlislosingit.blogspot.com/2011/04/four-days-to-go.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Four Days to Go. I have four days until my first half marathon! Last Friday I ran 10 miles. The Fridays before that I ran a 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.1. Technically, I have already run a half marathon in my training. Race days are different though. You run faster on race day. You also tear up your muscles a lot more. I'm a little nervous, but I know I will finish it. I just want to finish it strong and without any walking. I want to put all my training to the test. April 16, 2011:.
