2010 in photos

December 31, 2010

2010 was not only a fun year, but it was a year of some awesome events and pictures. I started January by rockin’ my McGyver compression socks: In February, we got hit by a ton of snow and I got to start marathon training long runs with lots of loops on icy roads and a [...]

2010 in review

December 29, 2010

Despite a late in the year injury, 2010 was a pretty good year. I ran more miles than I’ve ever run. I PR’d at two distances (oddly enough a 5k and a marathon). I got some new states in and I drank a whole lot of beer. What more could I ask for? OK, I [...]

I can’t run slow

December 28, 2010

At least not on the treadmill (and slow is relative, people.) Yesterday I did another 4 mile run on the treadmill. I had the boys home with me (I have them all week while Beer Geek works), so I either needed to run on the treadmill or hit the road when he came home. It [...]

Awesome Christmas present

December 26, 2010

So I blogged about the amazing Christmas present my dad gave me. And Beer Geek and I don’t exchange gifts (and Jones didn’t make me a gift at school for the first time ever. Ok, that made me a bit sad.) So, what did I get that was so amazing? 3.2 miles of outside running [...]

Randomest 3 Things Thursday Ever!

December 23, 2010

1. I can’t be trusted around sweets. I just can’t. And if I eat one, I eat 10. My usual plan for dealing with that is not having any that *I* really like in the house. Unfortunately, right now I have some awesome cookies my mom made and some chocolates a friend made. I ate [...]

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Look what I got!

December 22, 2010

My dad made me this medal holder for Christmas! He even made slots on the shelf to hold the coins that the military races around here like to give out. I’m so excited to finally have a place for medals again. So excited, in fact, that it’s time to get moving again and find some [...]

Getting it where I can

December 19, 2010

Exercise, that is. Remember these arms? I got those thanks to the FEET of snow we got in February. My arms don’t look quite like that right now, but between hot yoga, lifting weights at the gym, and this… I’m working on getting those arms back. The two inches of snow we got were a [...]

Winter weather wimp?

December 15, 2010

I’m a Wisconsin girl at heart. I love colder weather. I have no problem going out when it’s cold out, as long as I’ve dressed appropriately. Umm, until this year that is. This year, I can’t seem to stay warm. I’m wearing ridiculous amounts of layers to bed. I’m choosing the treadmill for nearly every [...]

December 14, 2010
