Three Picture Thursday: An active vacation

March 31, 2011

Lest you think I’ve spent the entire vacation sitting on the beach drinking fruity drinks, here are some pictures that prove otherwise.  (I’m not actually a hang out on the beach kind of girl.) At the top of the Fort in Marigot: On a zipline course at Loterie Farm: And right before a run on [...]

Don’t travel with me

March 29, 2011

Seriously.  Just don’t do it. I’ve been stuck in Boston because of a snow storm coming back from Iceland.  I got to sleep in an airport in Nebraska thanks to a snow storm.    I got to take an extra ferry between islands to catch an airplane on another island during a windstorm while in the [...]

Philly is the new St. Maarten

March 28, 2011

We are now on hour 25 in Philadelphia.  We should have been in St. Maarten yesterday.  We are currently waiting on the glue to dry on our rescheduled flight which is now an hour and a half late and counting.  No lie. In an effort to make the best of it, we did the touristy [...]

National Half Marathon report

March 27, 2011

This half was the final piece of my Cupcake Virtual Marathon. (Not sure what’s up with the color, but  notice the excellent $3 Target sweatshirt) Short story: It wasn’t my best half, but it wasn’t my worst. I finished in 2:13 and didn’t throw up. Long story: I got up at 3:30 am to get [...]

TTT:

March 24, 2011

1.  I showered this morning before the kids woke up.  I’m not running today.  It’s my one total rest day before National as I’ll run a couple of easy miles to loosen things up tomorrow.  I’m kind of afraid my body will go into shock. 2.  I bought a pair of the Merrell Pace Gloves [...]

Half of the Cupcake Marathon

March 23, 2011

Run #1 – [...]

I’m doing it for the environment

March 22, 2011

I’ve been channeling my inner Emily and Katie lately and, umm, not showering a lot.  I’ve found that if I shower before my run, I have a really hard time getting motivated to run.  Usually this is not a problem as I get up, get the kids ready, drop them off at school (yeah, I [...]

Random thoughts on a Saturday night

March 19, 2011

I’m sure some of you have social lives, but heck, I’m 40 and I have two kids (and I drank for 8 hours last Saturday LOL).  So we are having a nice evening in… I currently have four boys running around outside my house.  The beauty of boys is that I can be inside and [...]
