Wow it has been almost a year since my last post. I guess I should try harder! Considering I am writing the blog for my own use; basically I am journaling I guess it really doesn’t matter when I post. :)

I have a very good friend whom I love very much. He’s going through some heavy stuff right now. I wanted to put his story out there because there may be other parents or kids who can relate with it.My friend has a teenage daughter. Typical high school teen, she is very pretty, is an honor student, active in sports and is a cheerleader. As with a lot of kids she lives with a single parent, in this

So I am into week three of my quest for healthy living. Who the heck knew nutrition could be so fun and tasteful while being Healthy? I have to give all the credit to Faith Dearmond http://www.personal-wellness-solutions.com my nutritionist. Not only is she a fabulous person and nutritionist she is a Chef who tries out all the recipes she gives me. Well maybe not all herself because she doesn't

Well it is Sunday and I have completed my detox. It has been a fabulous week. Faith did a great job of designing a personalized detox plan just for me. Let me tell you she had her work cut out for her.I have been thinking for months about a detox where I could get rid of all the chemicals and toxins in my system from processed foods and meats pumped up with steroids. After a little research I

I made it through day 2 of my detox program. Let me just say yesterday was a struggle late in the day. About the time I was thinking that one little piece of cheese couldn’t hurt that bad an email popped up from Faith. She was looking for insight into how I was doing if there were any changes I would like her to make to the detox plan for the rest of the week. She also explained that my body

Yes, it has been over a month since I posted last. Much like everyone else the holidays left me extremely busy and stressed. Thankfully I was able to take a vacation to North and South Carolina. I'm back now and ready to re-focus on my goals.If you'll remember my goals for this year are to eat healthier and complete a Marathon. With these goals in mind I've started working on a couple of

I have to ask any long time runners out there; what’s up with the toenails? I’ve read and heard stories about elite runners taking their toe nails off but couldn’t believe it…..UNTIL yesterday. Although I didn’t intentionally take any of my toenails off I have two missing. No not just missing down to the quick I mean the whole darn thing.On the rare occasion I have nothing to do; I like to

This week has been a week of constant distractions. Not bad distractions but distractions just the same. Basketball season has started in the Hack household. I wonder if there is a way to get the Athletic Director to change all of Kota’s games to my non running days! Yes, I’m just kidding, you don’t think they can do that do you? :) I have to juggle things around just a little. This week I

Wall (noun) hit the wall; to reach a point at which no more can be done or achieved, e.g. a state of total exhaustion during a marathon run.I started training for the Evansville Half Marathon about 20 weeks ago; during all the training I always heard the term “hit the wall”. I didn’t understand the meaning of the statement until today when I “hit the wall”. For some reason I could not get my

Yup that’s right I’ve made it to day three of “Deb’s Month from you know where”. I think that’s what I will call it. Instead of November it is now renamed to “Deb’s Month from you know where”. What might you ask is this month and why is it being called such a name? About 18 weeks ago I got on this fitness kick. I started off small thinking I would run a Mini Marathon. On October 11th after 13

I am naming this blog entry "In the beginning". The reason; I'm going on record as of November 2nd with a new goal. I am officially in training for the Southern Indiana Classic Marathon in April. I'm writing this on my blog because I know my friends and fellow runners will keep me honest.What does this entail you ask? First of course there is the running. I will continue to do my Tuesday and

Kota and I have finalized plans for Thanksgiving. We are volunteering at the Evansville Christian Life Center again this year. We will help them pack up meals to deliver to over 3000 people. We had a blast volunteering at CLC last year. It is great to have a teenager who has so much passion in her heart for those less fortunate then us. I have truly been blessed. It hit us several years ago

It was a beautiful weekend in Southern Indiana. The leaves are in full fall colors right now and the smells oh man I love it. Fall is my favorite season of all time. I love the cool brisk air, the sights and smells. Now I have a new favorite in fall....RUNNING.Saturday I joined a group of people for a 10 mile run starting out of the Y. It wasn't a huge group like we had during Team 13 training

Last night I went out for my first run after the Half Marathon. It has been 9 days. I did run by myself but I got to see my running buddies coming in after their 4 miler and saw Karen on her way back in. My running buddies start at 4:30 which leaves me out right now with my 8 to 5 work schedule. But it is motivation enough to know they are going to be there when I get started. Bascially they will

The daughter and I enjoyed a beautiful fall break in North Carolina. Combining a college visit as well a "mini" vacation did the trick. I feel revitalized and think many of my aches and pains from weeks past have disappeared. I'm planning to get back on track this week with my running. It has now been a week since the Half Marathon, which is exactly how long it was suggested I rest.I'm going

Dakota and I are in North Carolina for a 4 day weekend. We drove down early Thursday morning in an effort to get to Boiling Springs by 3:30. Kota wanted to make it for a basketball practice at Gardner-Webb University. We made in with about a half hour to spare. It rained most of the way, but once we crossed the TN/NC border the rain stopped.Driving through the mountains was beautiful. The

I'm contemplating a run tonight. I've been told since Sunday's Half Marathon was my first long run I should take a few days to recover. I must say yesterday I would have said that seemed like a fabulous idea. My legs hurt a tad bit. Oh it wasn't anything major just the normal muscle burn one might feel after a particularly hard work out or as my daughter says after 10 or 15 minutes of defensive

Today was the Evansville Half Marathon. My goal to just finish the race. I also had a goal of coming in under three hours. Drum Roll please official time 3:00:05 yup that's right according to the official timer I missed my 2nd goal by 5 seconds. However, according to my official timer on my right wrist I came in at 2:59:45 so I'm going with that!!!It is hard to believe 13 weeks ago I had never
