I'm A Forest City Road Races Ambassador

I am so excited!  My absolute favourite race is the Forest City Road Race, and I've been chosen as an ambassador for the 2015 race!    It's my favourite race for many reasons (see the blog post links below for my posts after each of my #FCRR 5k races), but it is, in my opinion, one of the best organized and friendliest races to run.  It is for people of all abilities and everyone is cheered along the course by the volunteers and staff.  


Read my recap of my experience of the 2014 FCRR (and how we missed the start!)

This is my recap of my first FCRR (2013) & the reasons why it is SO special to me.

#FCRR 

Keep watching here for posts about my training for the 2015 race - I need to really get at it because I've been off for an injury!  

I'll also be posting about the running analysis I am having done (this should be interesting to find out what I am doing right and wrong).

Exciting Announcements

I know that I've been a bit lax about posting on a regular basis, but I plan to be more organized, and now I have the perfect way.  I'm doing a test-run for a fellow blogger of her blogging planner!  I'm excited to be more organized.  Stay tuned for a review of it (and for more posts from me,  I promise!)

I've also got another really exciting announcement (well, exiting for me) that I will share with you all  on Monday.    So please be sure to check back, I promise I will be here more.

I Fell Off the Wagon - Hard!

We've all been there - that momentary slip up on the diet part, or missing a few days of exercise.  I know I have, but I get up shake myself off and get right back at it - and try not to beat myself up about it.  

 Well, I haven't just fallen off the wagon, I fell off HARD.  I have no motivation and I just can't make myself get back on.  Stress has been a huge factor in my "fall" and I still have a lot of stress.   I know that exercise helps relieve stress and I NEED to get back at it - I know this.  Now I just need a swift kick to get me back on track!  

Having recently started a second business (yeah, I'm crazy), I am super-busy but I CAN make time to workout.  They key is to organize myself .

So, I am now officially back on track and I have all of you to remind me that I CAN do it!!

Thank you!

So Proud

You probably already know from some of my posts, that I love photography and it's my pastime (I have a Facebook page, LB Photography, to showcase some of my pictures).  I love taking pictures, and pester my daughters to pose for me - lol.  I've always told both my girls that they are so natural in front of the camera, and happy that a modeling agency thinks so too - my youngest has been offered a modeling contract!  

I'm a proud mama, so I am shamelessly posting here about it and some of my photos of her.  :)

One of my fave pics of her.
