How to Eat Healthy… It’s Easy!

Let's be Real... It's Not! “I wish I could eat healthy.”  Have you ever said that?  You know the drill.  Start a diet excited.  Get through the first week and crave something bad. Resistance only lasts so long before you have no desire to eat healthy anymore.  You miss the doughnuts, pizza, ice-cream, candy, pop… … Continue reading How to Eat Healthy… It’s Easy!

Taken by Allison Dougherty If you have ever exercised for an extended amount of time, you know that injuries are bound to happen sometime down the road.  Have you ever gotten an injury that seemed to be more painful during recovery than when it actually happened?  Most recoveries are painful, that’s just the way God… Continue reading What is More Painful than an Injury?

Dying Breath

We never realize how good life is until we feel like we’re dying. Ever walk up the stairs and feel like you’re out of breath?  Ever go for a walk or exercise and feel out of breath?  Honestly that is the worst part about running in life.  I hate it when I run out of… Continue reading Dying Breath

Challenged

Yesterday was my annual fall race.  This year I did Jeff Polen's Music Fest 5k.  I was hoping for a PR but did not realize the difficulty of this course.  I knew there would be hills so I had ran the, apparently tiny, easy hills around us.  I even did hill sprints, though I do… Continue reading Challenged

Dark Clouds of the Unknown

Trusting God or living in fear? Each of us know what it's like to live in fear, but how often do we ask God for strength and take on trials we never dared take on our normal days. In the month of May, I completed a challenge called, 5k a day in the month of… Continue reading Dark Clouds of the Unknown
