I totally forgot I was doing this. Again. 😬🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Mach is good to me for not harassing me when I’m down.🤣 Anyway! Update time. To be completely transparent, I didn’t just forget about this blog. I kind of forgot about Cruel Jewel, too. One of my kids has had some ongoing medical problems for the …

Week 3! – Coach Malm
Totally blanked on recapping week 3! Mach didn’t harass me about it, and I didn’t remember it. Actually my buddy Adam gets the gold medal for nudging me to keep it real and recap the week! Thanks, AA.😆 So last week was another okay week! I capped it right at 50 and just over 5k …
Week 1?
I already know this is a bad idea.
Until Then…
Fear has never controlled me. In fact, facing and conquering it has always been quite the driving force in my life.

My mileage is currently the lowest its ever been in my entire running history. Many days I don't even feel like running. I'm currently battling some …
