All Beer, No Running

May 31, 2009

This weekend was AMAZING!   We went to a beer tasting on Friday night and Savor on Saturday night.  I’ll write a post on each event later when I’ve recovered from too much food, a lot of beer, and not nearly enough sleep. Here I am all tarted up dressed up for our evening out [...]

Gettin’ ready for the weekend

May 29, 2009

Beer Geek and I have two (yes TWO) beer events this weekend.  The first one is tonight at RFD in DC and features 5 awesome brewers and their beers.    We get to sit and drink awesome beers and hear about them from the brewers.  Even more entertaining is the fact that the brewers are [...]

The stars did not align

May 28, 2009

Jones’ soccer practice was cancelled and Beer Geek got home late from work.  BUT!  I had put on my running clothes before that happened.  (I really didn’t feel like running, so I used the old put the clothes on and then feel stupid if you don’t run trick).  Beer Geek told me to go running [...]

Where exactly did my running mojo go?

May 27, 2009

As promised, I gave my body a break for the last week.  I think I ran two three mile runs in the last 8 days.  And they were far from fast. Today, I planned to get back on track.  Unfortunately, a rain storm and a problem with my contacts made outdoor running difficult, so I [...]

Motorcycles and baseball and beer, oh my!

May 24, 2009

This weekend was Rolling Thunder, when a ton of people with tattoos and Harleys come to the DC area.  I LOVE Rolling Thunder. It amuses me.  For years, there was a restaurant at the end of the road that runs next to our house that was THE place all the bikers went on Memorial Day [...]

Beer me!

May 22, 2009

How convenient that a “recovery” week and a busy week preparing for our little dinner party fell in the same week.  I’ve been crazy busy, but in a good way.  I’m probably about to bore most of my readers, but I need to write this someplace I won’t lose it.  If we do this again [...]

Skipping TIART this week + pics of “mom” hair

May 21, 2009

I really enjoy writing specific topics for the Runners’ Lounge TIART, but I’m going to be skipping it this week.  This week’s topic is nutrition.  Lately, my runs have been fueled by peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chocolate chips, and beer.  While that combination seems to work for me, I’m not sure I’d recommend it [...]

Semi Wordless Wednesday: Weekends

May 20, 2009

The last two weekends: This weekend (and this is just Friday night.  Saturday we’re going to dinner at Gordon Biersch and Sunday we’re going to a Washington Nationals game.) I haven’t run since the race on Sunday.  I might run today, I might not.  It’s gorgeous out, so I’ll probably do an  easy three.  If [...]

Girls on the Run and MCHH Race Reports

May 19, 2009

So, all the stars aligned and I actually ran two races this past weekend.  Right up until we got in the car to drive to Fredericksburg, I was pretty sure I was going to wuss out. Girls on the Run 5K I ran this race as a “buddy runner” for a girl at Jones’ school [...]
