TTT: The crabby edition

June 30, 2011

First things first : Happy Birthday, Beer Geek! 1.  My leg is improving, but the short little test run I did across my lawn today hurt.  Like, “gonna reinjure it” hurt.  I’m not feeling positive about a run tomorrow.  It looks like I’ll be heading to the gym again.  Sigh. 2.  I like the elliptical.  [...]

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: outtake

June 29, 2011

Remember that video I did for Fitfluential? Here’s where it took place… The only room in my house with good natural light… On the running front, my calf is still sore, but it’s not pain anymore, just soreness.  I will be hitting the elliptical and the pool today.  Hopefully by Friday I’ll be running again.  [...]

TGFE!

June 28, 2011

Or, thank goodness for Ellipticals! Yesterday I managed to teach Shoo to ride a bicycle without actually hurting myself.  He would have kept biking all day, but he’s seriously lacking in common sense when on the bike, so I had to run with him every time.  Eventually, my calf told me it was time to [...]

I have a plan (and a beer)

June 27, 2011

Today, I can walk without limping.  I’m still sore and I have no intention of running today (except possibly behind Shoo as he attempts to learn to ride a bike), but I can walk with a normal stride with only minor soreness.  Yesterday, I was stiff and limping and every step hurt. My plan: Step [...]

Some cheese with that whine?

June 26, 2011

I’ve been treading lightly recently in an attempt to keep my cranky achilles from blowing up on me again.  Thankfully, reduced mileage and speed and focus on my form has been working. On Wednesday, I ran on the treadmill.  At the end of my run, I noticed the back of my knee felt a little [...]

Sweat Your Thorns Off Virtual 5k

June 25, 2011

How ’bout I ruin the ending? 5k=Fail. I wanted to *race* this The Boring Runner’s virtual 5k. I also wanted to be hardcore and hit the road in the high 90s and matching humidity. Yeah, neither happened. I did print my bib, though. Virginia failed me by being a moderate 82 degrees with only 40% [...]

World’s largest beer sampler

June 24, 2011

Thanks to server error, we ended up with three 23 ounce beers and a normal pint (a stout, a porter, an IPA and a Raspberry beer), instead of the two beers we ordered.  Good thing we live near the brewpub…

Can you hear me now?

June 24, 2011

So I’ve finally joined the tech savvy world and gotten a smart phone! Watch out world, Mama’s got an iPhone!

Zero things Thursday?

June 23, 2011

Seriously, I feel like I have absolutely nothing to say.  Which is somewhat amusing given just how much I have going on in my life right now.  My brain should be overflowing with things to say, but I’ve got a case of killer writer’s block.  And Shoo hasn’t even said anything too funny lately… I’m [...]

Dash for Dad Volunteer Race Report + random stuff

June 21, 2011

This weekend was a Dash for Dad four miler.  I had originally planned to race it, but lately I’ve not felt like I’m physically and mentally up for racing, so I was having a hard time hitting the register button.  Luckily, I never got around to it because Pacers’ medic asked me if I’d help [...]
