In typical TIna fashion you're handling this with such a great attitude and making the best of an unfortunate situation.
Love Lulu!!

That D word again
Spending time with my mother and learning more about Dementia along the way. Sometimes its all about changing your expectations of the person so that you can accept them at the stage they are when dealing with this disease. It is something I continue to struggle with. I want the mother that I ha...
OMG! A 4:33 plank! That is awesome Tina. That's it. I'm back on with plank-a-day :)
The day I did 5 unassisted pullups was amazing!
Good luck with your goals!

Reaching new goals
Usually running has occupied the majority of my workout routine, just because I enjoy it that much! But after being injured, I found I had to find other ways to work out and not rely on running as my only form of cardio. Spinning is another form of cardio I enjoy, but spinning while I wasn't all...
What fun! Great photos Tina.

Boating
When I told Joel we were invited by my girlfriend to go out on their boat and to the lake house for the weekend, he was extremely reluctant. Fortunately it fell around the time of my birthday, so I used that for leverage and he agreed to go. We made the drive and arrived in time for lunch on the...
I recently posted about this exact thing. Here's the link if you'd like to take a peek http://jillconyers.com/2012/03/maybe-im-not-a-run-for-fun-kind-of-person/
I'm not a run for fun kind of person. The goal, competing with myself, seeing progress, that's what makes it fun for me.

Is it always a competition?
Recently someone asked me, "do you always see yourself running and would you run without a goal," and it got me to thinking. I love running, some days more than other days. But those days when I love it, it is such a mind cleansing powerful experience. Especially with all the stressful thing...
Another half done! Great job Tina.
I've read so many mixed reviews of this race. I'm glad most of it turned out wonderfully for you.
See you in a few weeks :)

Cherry Blossom 10 mile
April 1st Chelsea and I ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler, and while it didn't count in my 12 in 2012, it was a great time at the run and during our stay in DC. Starting the race at the Washington monument was a site to be seen. With all the runners gathering into their respective corals and t...

Looking forward to getting my first half marathon in for 2012 this upcoming weekend. I've checked the weather and it looks like we're going to have perfect temps and sunshine, lets hope it doesn't change too much over the next few days. I picked up some new Brooks running shoes, which I i...

Tina 1200 is awesome! And I know you can do it. Of all the goals I set every year I hesitate to set a mileage goal. The 2 times I have in the past I was injured both times and couldn't meet the goal. A mileage goal jinxes me!!

Running goals
My running goal for 2011 was to reach 1000 miles, and when I did, I decided I should try and make it to 1100 for 2011, but with a week left in the year and 24 miles short, I got sick. At first I was more disappointed about not being able to run than being sick. But then after a few days of being...

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day Happy New Year!

It's that time again! I am going to choose a word to guide my year as opposed to making some resolution I'll break and feel guilty, or worse, resentful, within the next month. That's no way to start a brand new year! Ever since I've gone the One Little Word route, I have made a dedicated effort ...
Love your new approach to goals Tina. I've been thinking about adding a reading goal too. As much as I love to read it sadly fell off my priority list in 2012.
Happy and healthy new year to you Tina :)

I've been working on my list of goals for 2012 and thought I would try something different. Instead of coming up with specific goals for the year, I thought I would try different goals each month. Some may hang around longer than a month, but I will at least give them their 30 days due. M...
