PR at the Turkey Trot

November 30, 2008

Thursday morning dawned cold, but sunny. I had a rough night with Shoo, so I got up a bit late. I ate a bit of breakfast and played musical cars (we live on the route and I wanted them off the street) and then headed over to the race. I continued my pursuit of my [...]

Odd Distances

November 27, 2008

I have 93.4 miles to go to hit 1000 miles for the year. If I hit all of my planned runs for the distances I currently have planned, I will be about 15 miles short of my goal. I’m going to try to manage an extra run or two, but that’s going to be a [...]

A trip to suburbia

November 25, 2008

I needed a few groceries this morning. I also needed some beer that will be our contribution to Thanksgiving with our friends. Despite the fact that I can walk to Giant, Harris Teeter, and Whole Foods and drive in less than 10 minutes to Safeway and Trader Joe’s, I decided a trip to Wegman’s was [...]

Something else I’m thankful for: my parents

November 22, 2008

My parents arrived Thursday evening and promptly relieved me of all responsibilities. Ok, not really, but pretty darn close. Mom got the boys showered and ready for bed. Dad laid down with Shoo, Mom laid down with Jones, I got to go write an article I needed to write. Friday, Dad replaced my kitchen faucet [...]

What a night…

November 20, 2008

I stayed up too late last night trying to find some pictures for Jones for a school project. When I went to bed, I woke Jones up accidentally (he lost a tooth and I was trying to play Tooth Fairy). Then Shoo woke up. Finally, I got everyone resettled and crawled into bed. Just as [...]

I’m thankful that running is my anti-depressant.

November 20, 2008

Today’s topic for “Take it and Run Thursday” over at the Runner’s Lounge is “Thank goodness for running”. This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart as running plays a very important role in my life. While I love the more physical benefits of running (weight management, healthy body, energy to [...]

Double Digits

November 19, 2008

I did it, but it wasn’t pretty. I have some sort of issue going on with my left hip flexor. I’m not sure why, but it began to twinge last week during my 8 mile run and bothered me again today. It doesn’t seem to bother me for the shorter runs. Today’s 10 miler took [...]

Dreading the ‘mill

November 18, 2008

We ended up having a nice weekend. I drank 4 beers and promptly went to sleep LOL. On the bright side, the beers were awesome (Flying Dog Amber, Dominion Baltic Porter, and Harpoon Winter Warmer). On the pathetic side, who goes to sleep at 8:30 after only 4 beers? I believe I am officially old. [...]

4 + 4 = happy mommy

November 15, 2008

I knew I’d have trouble making myself run last night, so I put on my running clothes as soon as we got back from picking Jones up from school. When Beer Geek walked in the door, I hit the treadmill. Since it was Friday night and I was feeling unmotivated, I aimed for three miles [...]
