My Black Friday plans are to go for a run, order our Christmas cards, and spend time with my kids. If I go shopping it will be after dinner tonight and it will be online. I can only think of one time I did some Black Friday shopping and that was back in my early career…

Holiday Giveaway Hop: Lotta Love Top
It’s not exactly a secret that I love Skirt Sports. I first fell in love with the Happy Girl (still my favorite of their products), then discovered their Lotta Breeze capri, and then moved on to tights and jackets, and tank tops, oh my. While I don’t intentionally wear an item from Skirt Sports every…
Busy weekend + hydration giveaway
Summer seems to have arrived in Virginia. It may just now be June 1, but it’s been feeling like summer in the south for a week or so now. Weekly recaps with Tara and Erin will now include lots of pictures of a very sweaty me LOL. Just in case you are feeling hot too, I’m…
Feetures Socks review and giveaway!
Thanks so much for your support on yesterday’s post! If anyone is interested in hearing what steps I took to make the chances of PPD smaller with Shoo, let me know. I’d be happy to share. Today let’s talk about SOCKS! Most of us wear them and they can totally make or break a run….
Crazy weekend + Skirt Sports Happy Girl Skirt Giveaway
I admit it. I’m over winter. Take my Wisconsin girl card, send me south, and call it good. Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but I just could not convince myself to run outside on Friday. I.just.could.not. So, I ran 8 miles on an indoor track. 8 laps per mile. There are only two good…
#RocknBlog 2015! + 2 winners!
I am so excited to announce that I got chosen to be part of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon’s 2015 Rock ‘n’ Blog team! It’s pretty much a given I’ll be running RNR USA because that’s my hometown race, but I’d be interested to hear what everyone else’s favorite Rock N Roll race is!
Five Favorites Friday + some housecleaning
How is it Friday again? This year is just flying by and I haven’t even ordered anyone a present yet. All I have are the boys’ pajamas that I buy them every year at Christmas. That.is.it. Oh, and I have 2 pairs of wool socks coming for Beer Geek, but we don’t exchange presents, so…
Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri review and giveaway
I’ve never hidden my love of Skirt Sports. In fact, I think I spend more time in the Happy Girl skirt than in any other clothes I own. It’s a good thing I have 5 8 a lot pretty much every pattern! When Skirt Sports asked me to be an ambassador, one of the cool…
#NovemberMileage and “Thankful to my Followers” Giveaway
I had an AMAZING run on Saturday morning. It wasn’t super fast, but I felt strong for the entire 5 miles and my last mile was faster than my first mile. Other than a total wipeout when I stepped on a hidden rock, my body felt good. In fact, it was the first time in…
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…
iherb.com review and giveaway
I know you all really want to know about how Ragnar went. Short answer: It.was.awesome. I promise to tell you more later, but I’m still catching up on sleep and chores. So, let’s talk about iherb.com. When they first contacted me and offered me a gift certificate to try their site, I wasn’t at all…
Quick Giveaway: Baltimore Running Festival
Earlier this year, in my quest to do the 13 half marathons in 79 days as cheaply as possible, I entered a contest. I won half off of my Frederick Running Festival entry and a free entry into the Baltimore Running Festival. Despite my best intentions, I just can’t run the race, so I’ve gotten…
