Well, if you would have told me a year ago what my life would look like today, I might have punched you in the throat. Okay, probably not, since I’m not really the violent type, but I certainly would have called you an f’n liar to your face. There pretty much isn’t anything about the [...]

Wanted: My Motivation
November 26th, 2011 bekkib73 Crap. It was *just* here… where did I put it? Oh motivation… why must you be so elusive? I have pretty much done very little in the form of healthy living in the last month and a half. At first it was resting up so that I would be able to start marathon training with [...]
Training Log Tuesday – Resting up!
November 1st, 2011 bekkib73 It’s been a few weeks since I posted my weekly training log. Why? Well because after the Wine Country half marathon on October 16th, I decided to take a bit of a rest before I start into my training for my 2012 events! Because those 2 events? They are big! I will be running my [...]

October 4th, 2011 bekkib73 Happy Tuesday! So, a little confession time? I did not get all my workouts in this past week. I got 2 out of 3 of my training runs in. But did nothing else. I had a really good, healing weekend and am hoping that going forward I will be able to get my workouts done. [...]
Training Log Tuesdays
September 27th, 2011 bekkib73 Welcome to my new weekly post. This is where I will share how my training is going. I am hoping that adding a level of accountability will help keep (get) me on track! What I’m training for: Wine Country half marathon on October 16, 2011. I ran this race last year, but had seriously over [...]

I’m going to be Tough!
June 9th, 2011 bekkib73 A Tough Mudder, that is! I have received a journalist entry into the Squaw Valley Tough Mudder competition. I’m excited, scared, inspired, terrified, up for the challenge, you get the idea! I’ve done 5k’s, 10k’s and half marathons. Heck, I’ve even done a sprint triathlon. But any sort of muddy or obstacle event has not [...]

May my way
June 1st, 2011 bekkib73 Well, May didn’t really go as I expected. I missed checking in last week, but I wanted to follow through and finish this, even though most of the goals I set for the May Your Way challenge over at Shrinking Jeans were not reached. This is a wrap-up for the entire month of May, not [...]
