Post-Halloween Coffee
Thank goodness October is over. Only 2 more soccer games today and Shoo’s birthday party tomorrow and life becomes more normal. Since I’ve been pretty much mainlining coffee this week (my best night I got 6 hours of sleep), I’m going to join Jill and Lynda at the Ultimate Coffee Date and make you listen…
I’d like to thank my readers…
I’ve been blogging for 6 (really? 6?) years. Over that time, my blog has evolved from ramblings about each and every run I did in preparation for the Marine Corps Marathon to more about my adventures with racing, traveling, and beer. Oh, yes, I’m all about the beer. I love journaling about my running (it…
Rain Rain Go Away + iherb gift card winners
It’s not like I’ve never run a race in the rain before. In fact, I’ve even run a Mainly Marathons race in the pouring rain. But it’s a perfect running temp, which means it’s kind of chilly and I’m not looking forward to being wet AND cold. Fingers crossed that it’s light showers and no…

Fun and active fall things to in the DC area
Fall is my favorite season. It’s the time of year when I actually love to live in the DC metro area. In fact, if I had my way, it would always be fall. I love the cool (to sometimes cold) mornings. I love the perfect running temps at mid-day. I love opening every window in…
Five things I love about being home
Today’s topic from Cynthia, Mar, and Courtney is “Five things I love about…” Since I just returned from a lovely two weeks of visiting my parents in Wisconsin (and I’d move to Madison in a heartbeat if I could), here are five reasons I’m happy to be home in Virginia. 1. Beer Geek – One…
Five Awesome Things Friday
Today is a free topic day for the Friday Five link up with Courtney, Mar, and Cynthia, so I’m going to share a few things that are making me happy this week. 1. Old school exercise with my boys. I’m pretty sure my butt is going to hurt at the race on Saturday. 2. Veggies,…
