You all know I love beer and that I often choose my restaurants based on the quality of their draft list. But in addition to that, Beer Geek and I love to visit different breweries and check out their setups (and often beers that you can only get there.) Right now, the beer scene in Virginia…

Weekend Wrap Up
I’m pretty sure I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I feel like I ran a marathon and I ran exactly 2.5 miles. Friday, Shoo and I got up super early and headed to his school. The buses were leaving for Jamestown at 6:45 am! It’s about 2.5-3 hours each way, depending on…
Planning for an Asheville Vacation
Last summer we did a huge vacation to Ireland. It was amazing to visit there and we had a fabulous time as a family (and I got to run my first international race!)
5 Beers that will keep you warm this winter
It’s Friday. Fr-Fr-Friday! I’m ready for Friday. It’s been a super long week (how is it that a day that had a holiday in it can seem longer than a normal week?). Know what’s awesome about Friday? Friday Five with Courtney, Cynthia and Mar AND a beer. I know today’s topic is “Cold Weather Running…

Too much rest, not enough sleep
This has been kind of a crazy weekend. Friday I spent my day on a 1st grade field trip to a nature center. It was pretty wild being out in the woods, but hearing planes practically landing on top of our heads. We saw deer and box turtles and frogs, but we were literally right…
Accidental speedwork and “Thirsty Thursday”
Yesterday I planned to run when I woke up, but I had a raging headache that was likely a result of dehydration. I ended up spending most of the morning working on my computer and drinking glass after glass of nuun. When I finally changed out of my pajamas (at a time later than I’m…
16 Breweries in 15 days!
That sounds kind of excessive, huh? Luckily, I’m a smart girl and I know how to do these things without hurting myself. In fact, I wrote a post over at Fitfluential about how to incorporate craft beer into a fit life. Go. Read it. Learn from it. Now I can tell you about our trip….
