I GOT AN APPLAUSE FROM BEN ALLDIS FOR MY INSTAGRAM STORY!!! I’m not gonna say that I fan girled, but I totally sent pics of this to my kids because hellllooooo! My Workouts I’ve had my bike for two weeks now and, for the most part, I’ve been sticking to […]
I’ve had my Peloton Bike+ for a week now and I honestly believe I’ve found something I can stick with. In fact, I look forward to the end of the work day, so I can come home, feed and walk the dogs, then get on my bike. It’s intense. […]
My Peloton is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been counting down since I placed my order. And the folks at Peloton have made it so easy. Every couple of days, they send an email with an update about my bike along with other important […]
After stalking the website for a year, reading reviews, watching videos, and trying to justify the price, I finally made the decision to buy a Peloton. I ordered the Bike+ Essentials, which comes with bike shoes, 3 lb bike weights, and reversible workout mat. I chose this option because I […]

Doesn’t it feel like I’m writing one of these posts every 6 months? Like when am I gonna hit my goal and write my celebratory post? I don’t know. But I do know that I’m not going to give up until I reach my goal. I keep forgetting that. I’ll […]

First of all, I’d like to say that the National 1000 Mile Challenge has raised enough money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation Northeastern California and Northern Nevada to grant the wishes of two children with life threatening medical conditions! That is crazy good. And, man, I’m just excited to have been able to […]
Every year, I like to do one thing that scares challenges me. And, for the past few years, it seems that those challenges have involved running {read about my first race here and joining Run for God here}. So, it seems only right that this year, the challenge involves yet […]
Bible Verse 1 Corinthians 9:26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like the boxer beating the air. Everything in life requires some sort of planning. Athletes don’t just get out there and play ball or run a race, they practice, they learn skills […]
