Apparently I’m a hot mess

September 30, 2011

So, my appointment with the chiropractor was interesting.  He found issues all up and down my legs. My right foot lands with my toes pointed slightly out (knew that) The muscles in my calves and thighs are scary tight (knew that) My hips do something I don’t exactly remember – collapse?  rotate in? My glutes [...]

TTT: Being a grown up

September 29, 2011

1.  I’ve decided I can’t bury my head in the sand any longer.  I need to figure out why my ankle (and the opposite calf) keep hurting.  A local running blogger recommended a chiropractor who is walking distance to my house AND takes my insurance.  I decided that I needed to put on my big [...]

Rock Your Socks 5K/10K Virtual Race

September 27, 2011

We all know I can’t resist a virtual race, even if I’m not actually in shape to race it.  Tonia is raising money for Grassroots Soccer and offered a chance to run if you’d donated.  (There’s still time to donate!)  This year, I didn’t actually rock socks.  Instead, I went with the KT Tape look. [...]

Blog? What blog?

September 26, 2011

Every fall I’m amazed at how overwhelmed I get.  We just have so much going on as all the school/extracurricular activities start + both boys have October birthdays.  Oy.  I kept meaning to sit down this weekend and write a blog post, but every time I did, something took my attention away. So what’s going [...]

Is today really only Thursday? TTT

September 22, 2011

I swear this has been the longest week known to man.  I’ve been super busy AND in a less than stellar mood.  Not great. 1.  Today I was going to take a “me day”.  This whole year of me thing has been a bust so far.  I constantly feel like I’m falling behind on stuff.  [...]

When you want it least…

September 20, 2011

is probably when you need it most. I was in a crappy mood this morning.  Some of that was hormonal, some was the rainy weather, some was just random little annoyances.  I took the boys to school where Shoo once again did not want to stay.  Then I had to deliver the neighborhood newsletters (which [...]

It’s Monday

September 19, 2011

Therefore, I have a ton of unrelated random stuff to say. File under: Miscellaneous I ran 4 miles this morning.  It was my longest run in a month.  I’ve run a marathon at a faster pace than I went this morning (and 26.2 may have felt easier.)   I have less than two weeks until my [...]

TTT: the bike edition

September 15, 2011

1. Yesterday, I did my first real brick. I biked the kids to school and then biked about another mile and a half. Then I dropped the bike off at home and went for a two mile run. Sadly, my bike speed was about the same as my run speed. And my run speed wasn’t [...]

Priorities

September 13, 2011

XLMIC asked me a while back how I planned on “juggling kids and workouts and preserving sanity”. Well, of course, the first thing I did was give up on sanity.  ;o) But the main thing I did was make myself a priority.  I’m a better mom if I’m working out.  I have more energy to [...]
