TOTR: Best Race Ever
The topic for Tuesdays on the Run today is “Best Race Ever.” When Patty, April and I came up with the idea, it immediately brought to mind my friend, GBA Girlfriend, who always has the #bestdayever. And why is it the best day ever? Because there is something good in every day. And I feel much…
52.4 miles and one heck of a weekend
Short story: I did successfully complete 2 full marathons this weekend. Just in case you are wondering, I have no desire to run two in a weekend ever again.
Ultimate Coffee Date – May!
I can’t believe it is May 1 already. Or that I have 3 races to run left this spring and they will all be done in 9 days. Gah! As you are reading this, I’m out running a marathon, but I’m still joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date. If…
Strip marathoning and I chose to do this
My brain is going about a million miles a minute right now. Too bad I can’t run that fast LOL. So, I’m hooking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons again for Thinking Out Loud Thursday. 1. As I expected, the weather here has started to warm up. We are looking at starting temps around…
Thinking out loud Thursday: Marathon Musings

As you might imagine, the topic most on my mind right now is my upcoming marathons. I’m not really going taper crazy (although there is this weird…
Treating myself with a Katie Mae Quilt
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll remember that last year I decided to run 13 half marathons in 79 days. It wasn’t just an arbitrary goal – I wanted to reach Venus level with the Half Fanatics. OK, well maybe that is arbitrary LOL. Of course, that got me 13…
Five trips in 2015
I love to travel. I love to run. I love it even more when I can combine the two activities. After all, my header is designed to record my races in different states.(Beer Geek and I are already talking about retiring and buying an RV and traveling the country, collecting counties and hitting up races.)…
