Serene – You Capture

November 11, 2010 by Elaine

When I think of the word “serene” I think of still waters. Like a lake, with mountains behind. I also think of quiet and calm. Which, if you’ve been to my little spot here on the interwebby before, (and many of you have) you probably know “quiet and calm” don’t fit into my vocabulary too…

Running Back in Time

February 5, 2010 by Elaine

I went to the gym tonight because I wanted to try to cancel out the dessert I already knew I wanted to eat… oh….like yesterday. Oh and because exercising is FUN! WHEE! (just a hint a sarcasm there) And I did pretty good. I ran a total of 10 minutes, in five two-minute stretches and…

Weekly “Winners” – The Jiggle Butt!

January 4, 2009 by Elaine

Okay, so I am sort of cheating on my weekly winners post this week. Partly because I took VERY few pics this week and also because I wanted to share the real “winners” in my life! It’s myself and my friends who ran/walked a 5K yesterday! And… it was MY FIRST! All the running has…

Run Lainey, Run!

November 10, 2008 by Elaine

So, I thought I would post a little list of what I have learned from my running so far. (P.S. I stole the title of this post from this chick from a comment she left me last week. I like to give credit where credit is due… and well, I just couldn’t resist using it!)…

Ok People, If I Am Gonna Do This, I Need Your Encouragement

October 7, 2008 by Elaine

I am trying to decide something. The decision isn’t that hard to make. I want to do it. What’s hard is the commitment. What’s REALLY hard is following through. So, the week before last I started thinking about running. I’ve been back to working out regularly for a few months now and it feels great…
