Keep.It.Simple.Stupid I’ve been embracing that thought as I gear up for the next week. My mom called yesterday and, thanks to a fare sale, she’s going to take Shoo to her house for the week that Jones and I are at camp. I initially panicked at the thought of trying to pack up Shoo as…

Three Skirts Thursday
I’ve been on a search for a running skirt that works for me for quite a long time. I’ve tried on every skirt I could find in my local running stores. I’ve ordered a few. I’ve even received one to review. Eventually I found my one true skirt. The skirt I’ll run many miles in. …

Three Things Thursday: Home again, blog migration issues, and a winner
1. We are home. We flew home yesterday on a near perfect flight. I got on the scale this morning and found I’d only gained a little over a pound while I was gone. I always gain a little bit at my parents’ house, in part because I’ll join my dad for a beer occasionally…

Too much Tuesday + Mondetta Winner
I debated calling this post “Thankful Tuesday” as many of the things that are too much in my life right now, I’m actually quite thankful for. I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed by all those things. Doesn’t help that yesterday’s mad clean out of the basement + an absolutely mentally necessary 3 mile run just…
Mondetta Performance Gear Review and Giveaway
I’m not a what you might call a fashionable runner. In fact, I’m usually happy if I don’t actively clash. When MPG offered me the opportunity to try a couple of their items and review them, I jumped at the chance. I loved the idea of actually looking pulled together when running. But there was…

Races2Remember review and giveaway
I was recently contacted by Races2Remember to review one of their items. I chose to do one of their small back bibs. As you can see, it turned out great! Usually these bibs say “I’m Running for…” and include a picture and a name. I wanted to do something for my blog, so I went…

Double digits plus 3 more winners
Yesterday I went for my first double digit run since the marathon. I ran a hot, sweaty, slow ten mile run from Iwo Jima out to near Belle Haven and back. I really hope my legs aren’t completely recovered, because the last five miles were darned hard. I have a spot behind one knee that…
