I've done a few "year in review" posts so far this month and it appears that my year was pretty amazing. But I haven't looked back at my goals since June, so it's time to take a quick look and see which ones I met, which ones I missed, and which ones I completely forgot I had. … [Read more...]
Three party weekend
Oy, 'tis the season of holiday parties! Beer Geek and I were invited to two parties this weekend and I had a Moms Run This Town party. Quite a busy weekend! Friday was the MRTT party that I mentioned in my coffee post. It was held at a local Mexican place, so obviously the drink of choice was margaritas. I only had one small one because I was driving, but it was tasty (as were the fish tacos.) It was great to catch up with some of the ladies that I had not seen since Ragnar Cape Cod as more than half of our team was there. I also participated in the gift exchange and got really useful stuff: a flashing light for night running (which I've been actually doing lately with a group), arm sleeves, and NUUN.

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 giving away some samples of my favorite on the run hydration options (Nuun, Skratch, MeStrength, Gatorade...). … [Read more...]
1 weekend, 4 events
It's Monday. I'm tired. So, I'm linking up with Tara for a Weekend Update. We had an insanely fun weekend that included a Moms Run This Town holiday party, a meeting at Mad Fox Brewpub, and two Christmas parties. I don't often need a weekend to recover from my weekend, but this was definitely one of them. [Tweet "1000 miles + an epic 2015 in the plans. #mrtt #6halfmarathons6days"] … [Read more...]
