Lessons from the Injured List
Lessons from the Injured List
Okay, so I’ll admit it. My OCD/type A/anxiety whatever had taken pretty full control of that last blog post. I was feeling extremely pressured (by only me, myself, and I) to keep training for the marathon no matter what.
It took a case of “extreme tendonitis” for God to slow my roll (literally, thank you very much).
The “rush” feeling was because I am not a runner, and in order to have a…

Turns out running a marathon is expensive, and that’s why I am asking for your opinion on whether to keep going at the end of this post. Please comment! Seriously.
I survived 5 weeks of marathon training. Week 5 ended with a long run of 10 miles, at the end of which my ankles declared, “We are OUT.”
Saturdays are long run day. 10 days ago, it was an 8 mile run. 3 days ago, it was a 10 mile…

25% down, 75% to go
I’m one quarter of the way done with marathon training.
I have to admit Ana has her moments with me in this whole thing. For example, I can’t believe that I have almost finished week FIVE of training, having run 74.1 miles, and I have GAINED a pound. GAINED.
If any of you tries to tell me “muscle weighs more than fat”, I’ll punch you in the face.
It makes me want to quit. I’m so…

Runner’s Poop and Losing My Hoo-Ha
I am putting a TMI warning on this one…read at your own peril of hearing things you may have never, ever wanted to know.
I am at the end of week 4 with my training for the 2020 Austin marathon, and I offer you two valuable insights to the world of distance running.
Runner’s Poop
At my last group run, I talked with another runner about Runner’s Poop. Yes, I talked about this with…

I’m in my second week of training for the Austin marathon.
On Saturdays at 7:00AM, I do a group run that builds our distance. Last Saturday, I completed the first one, a whopping 5 miles. I was a sweaty mess who finished second to last, but I finished. I walked some of it, but I finished. I was proud and happy with myself.
A few hours later, showered, clean, and feeling good, JJ asked me,…

Running for all the right reasons.
Running for all the right reasons.
Today, I start running. To train for a marathon. On February 16th, 2020.
I have a long and sordid history with running. Mostly, I haven’t liked it. And when I have, it’s been for all the wrong reasons.
I like to play sports. Kickball. Softball. Bowling. Ones that require a small amount of running and in spurts. I like running 60 yards or less at any given time. I got mad at myself when I…

Dear Daughter
Dear Daughter, let's be real. Most days I'm totally winging it with you.
Let’s be real. Most days I’m totally winging it with you. (So is Daddy.) I have no idea what I’m doing, since I didn’t have siblings and never babysat for a human growing up. In fact, I actively avoided being around children.
While I may not know what I’m doing, I go full throttle with mama love for you. You and Daddy are the best things to ever happen to me. So cliche, I know, but it’s true.…

a modern-day psalm 23
a modern-day psalm 23
Jesus is my guru, He is all I want.
He lets me rest in safe places, He leads me into calm spaces.
He restores my soul.
For Jesus’ name, He guides me in His plan.
Even as I survive trials with little hope, I will not fear my future.
You are with me.
Your Spirit and Word comfort me.
So, it seems somewhat wrong to be rewriting something in the Bible. Like, blasphemic.

Mad respect from this blogger if you know the pop culture reference of my blog post title.
Today, I broke academic advising law. I misadvised a student. Well, technically I broke the law back in April but I found out today. I have been advising students since 2004, FIFTEEN YEARS, and I think I have misadvised a student twice.
Perfectionism lends itself to academic advising. There are a…

Recovery is hard.
I thought I already knew that, but apparently I needed to learn it all over again.
I have a really hard time taking up space, both literal and figurative, in this world. I try not to talk about myself very much, and if I do, I talk fast. I move my grocery cart to the side because I do not want to ever get in someone’s way. In therapy, I sit still on the couch, other than my leg moving up and…

Follow up: maybe they aren’t so bad after all…
Thanks for the encouragement on finding a church that doesn’t make me want to throw up in my mouth a lot. I really do appreciate it.
I tried another search today: “diversity churches cedar park round rock tx” and a Reddit came up.
(Aside: I really don’t get Reddit. JJ LOVES it and goes to it for all the things, but to me it looks like coding from the 1980s and gives me a headache visually.)

American church culture makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little. Okay, a lot.
But, I’m trying.
I Googled (obviously, the best way to find a church) “churches round rock cedar park” and got a Yelp of the TEN BEST CHURCHES near me.
After deciding that four of them are too far away, I checked out the remaining six.

My last post was 3 weeks ago today. Here’s what happened:
I lost my voice.
Wait, what? Why would losing my voice mean I can’t write blog posts?
Because the voice of which I speak is not my actual talking voice.
I lost something more precious to me…
