JG*’s back in the gym!

New Vlog for you guys! Y’all know I was getting my cardio in the Church last week, so my actually gym participation was down a little bit. But I’m back, and I’m sharing! Like always, nevermind the hair. THIS IS HARD WORK! THIS IS A STRUGGLE! No time for cuteness! LOL Even though I did [...]

My Trainer only means the best…

For  Valentine’s day my trainer thought it would be a good idea to give me functional gifts instead of things like chocolate and candy that would seriously derail my training. Before he met me at the gym he texted me: “I have some surprises for you!” At this point I have come to know that [...]

New Runners! Get involved!

So I’ve gotten some interest from some ladies to join the blog and document their runs and training. If I can get SIX MORE LADIES (that would make 1o) then I’ll move the blog to a network site and we can watch it grow from there. So I’m just going to put it out there [...]

JG* Runs Atlanta. Live from the Field

Alone (kinda) at the gym

“He who shall not be named” gave me a workout to do when we weren’t running. It isn’t so bad, but I did do a video blog of my evening alone in the gym. Couple of points I’d like to note from the video.  1) When I first go to the gym, it was empty. [...]

Mywazo’s Story

I gathered this story from Women’s News online and wanted to share.  ~~~~~~~~ Twenty-five-year-old Mywazo is the proud mother of two. But she doubts her husband can ever accept that about her. Not after what happened. For three and a half years, beginning in 2004, Mywazo was held hostage in the forests surrounding her village. [...]

Hell Hath no fury. Day 2

Hell hath no fury than a Trainer on a mission.  Here is the video I took after my second 3.1 mile run. It was painful, and I couldn’t move. I look a mess of course, but that’s all part of the pain. More video blogs to come, and please believe we’ll get some live action [...]
