So Moody! Continuous morning sickness, not as bad as before, I am now able to sleep longer without having to wake up in the middle of the night to eat and go back to sleep. First trimester blood work done. About 9 tubes of blood and an urine sample. That’s a lot of blood, my […]
Houston, We Have A Heart Beat!! Woo-hoo! This week started out with more nausea and sometimes vomiting. Most of the vomiting felt more like something wasn’t sitting right and I had to let it out. It’s not the nausea/vomiting when you have a stomach virus that sends you involuntarily running to the bathroom. I’m glad […]

This week I decided that I would get up earlier, around 4:30am, eat something light (an Eggo waffle and one hard-boiled egg), drink ginger tea and take a nap until 6am to get […]

Who said training for a race would be easy? The first couple of weeks of marathon training are my hardest. The soreness and building up the endurance to be able to run long, it’s always a challenge for me. This week I was challenged, when my body needed much-needed recovery. It’s hard to rest when […]
A week ago, I ran my first race of 2016. It was a very last minute idea that just popped into my head after someone from the Open Run group suggested it; they suggested I sign up for the Queens 10K that there were still charity spots available through Team For Kids (TFK). The idea […]

Smh. What a lovely way to tell us about […]
