While I was planning this post I went back and read my last one, which was several months ago. It was about how I’m constantly abandoning this blog, because I feel like I have nothing to share. It was another post about how I’m starting again and I’m going to keep fighting. Well…here I am • Read More »

Keep Getting Up
August 3, 2017 | By Kendra | No Comments | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration, Life.I feel like I’ve written almost this same blog post so many times over the last couple of years. For one reason or another, I have had to start from zero on my fitness journey many times. I’ve let it get me down and discourage me from sharing, because I felt like I didn’t have • Read More »
Finding my way back to running…finding my way back to me…
April 29, 2016 | By Kendra | No Comments | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration, Life, Running.Wow. Has it really been a year since I’ve written here? I suppose it has! What a year this has been. Most of it was plagued with injury, which meant I was mostly frustrated. I was in physical therapy for several months. I’m technically “discharged,” but I still have a long road to recovery ahead • Read More »
Ups and Downs of Healthy Living
April 16, 2015 | By Kendra | No Comments | Filed in: Inspiration, Life.As some of you may know, last year was a difficult one for me. I had many struggles with my health that made it difficult to train for my second half marathon. In the weeks leading up to the race, I got sick again. So, I didn’t get the training in that I’d hoped. I • Read More »
Why are you running?
December 22, 2014 | By Kendra | No Comments | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration, Life, Running.On a run several weeks ago, I encountered a family pulling a little girl in a wagon. As I ran past, she said “Hi,” and I said “Hi,” back. Just as I got past her, she said, “Why are you running?” I was in the zone, and already gone by the time her words hit • Read More »
Overcomer
October 20, 2014 | By Kendra | 1 Comment | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration, Life.For various health reasons (none of which turned out to be serious, all of which are on their way out), this has been a rough year. I started out running my first half marathon (and the 5K and the 10K…) at the runDisney Princess Half Marathon weekend at Walt Disney World. I was in the • Read More »
Finding my way back to running…
June 15, 2014 | By Kendra | 1 Comment | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration.A few weeks ago, I started running regularly again. I started out with about 15-20 minutes, because I didn’t want to overdo it and get injured. It was hard…really hard. I got very discouraged, because I thought “If I can’t run for 15 minutes without wanting to quit, how will I ever run a half • Read More »
Doing Nothing, but Staying Strong
May 8, 2014 | By Kendra | 1 Comment | Filed in: Inspiration, Life.As you may have noticed, I have been absent from this blog and from most social media. In February, I completed the Glass Slipper Challenge (10K plus a half marathon…also the 5K for kicks) at Walt Disney World. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt • Read More »
The Roller Coaster We Call Maintenance
October 13, 2013 | By Kendra | 1 Comment | Filed in: Inspiration, Life.This spring, I reached my goal weight. I was thrilled, relieved, and terrified. Thrilled, because I had worked so long and hard, and had finally achieved my goal. Relieved, because I once thought it wasn’t possible. Terrified, because I had absolutely no clue how to maintain. Losing weight? I had become pretty confident in my • Read More »
Running to Remember…
September 12, 2013 | By Kendra | 1 Comment | Filed in: Fitness, Inspiration, Life.Twelve years ago today, I was on my college campus, just minutes after I heard the news of the terrorist attacks. I stood in the student union and watched the footage of the first plane hitting, then the second. Everyone crowded around the televisions in shock and disbelief. Could this really happen on our soil? • Read More »
