This morning at 7:30 I am running the Tacoma Narrows half marathon. the last time I did a half marathon was this one back in 2010, the router today is different but I still will once again run across the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Tacoma Washington.  It has been a journey for me to get back to running and it has been about 2 years.  I am a bit nervous about doing the 13 miles but I know at the start line that I like many other runners have trained and worked hardd to be able to run 13 miles.  

I will add another metal to my collection and has my metal racks says, " she believed she could SO SHE DID.  I run for my physical health, my mental health and becuase I can.  The longest run that I have done since I started running the last few yers is 12 miles.  After this half marathon I wan to take some time and think once again where am I going with all my running. I am thinking I am leaning towards trail running as I have done a few trail runs in my training and I really loved it. Hang with me as the journey continues

Rainer Run 5K

 This last Saturday I went to Enumclaw to run this 5K, I picked this 5K since I love the town and it is not far away from where I live. I also had read it is a flat course and that told me maybe I could get my 5K time down,  Happy to report my time was 36:55 that is my best time since I have been back running.

I have a goal of running a 10K run even before end of 2025 and I feel this goal will be completed. I am also looking foward to getting back on my trek road bike that has been in my stroage shed for the last 12-13 years and I will be putting it back together and remembering how much I loved riding that bike year ago when I was in shape.

Life is good!

Norpoint Turket trot 5K Tacoma WA

 It has been about 10-11 years since I did this run let along doing any running LOL. I am so happy to report that I completed the 5K in 44:10. I have been doing training on a treadmill at the planet fitness near my home where I work out at.

My weight is at 166 and going down little by little as I continue getting shape. My next 5K will be Dec 14 the Santa reindeer run in Orting WA. I am back becoming a runner and I am feeling really happy

Nov 2024

 Feeling pretty excited! My weight coming down nicely at 173 and less then 30 days out to a 5k turkey trot on Thanksgiving Day! Been over 11 yrs since I did a 5k.

It's coming back

 I've been getting to the gym on a regular bases.

Jogging is coming back on the treadmill. Yesterday I enjoyed riding my older mountain bike it was great weather.

The little things I'm noticing about my weight coming off is going up and down stairs is easier.

If I'm sitting on the floor or have to get on my hands and knees to do something much easier to get up.  I take these all as wins!

Summer 2024

 It's been a great summer! My weight at 190 and I'm feeling great! I'm back to the gym and goal is to run a 5k come Thanksgiving!  The old me is starting to come back! I will run again!

Turning 58

 I am just a few days into being 58. Time to start the journey again. I have been out of shape for many years now and I am starting the journey back to being healthy and will run again. My weight today is 208 not to bad considering I havebeen as high as 215. First goal is to get to under 200 lbs and I know I will do that. I am eating better and tracking my food and exercise.  If all goes like I am hoping I will be back into decent shape by the time I turn 60.  Come along for this journey of mine
