Green Enough by Leah Segedie – Book Review
Disclaimer: I received this book free in exchange for a review. If you purchase from various links below, I will make a commission. I don’t talk on here often about my crunchy granola chick tendencies. After all, this is a running blog, not a parenting or green living blog. But in my daily life, I…
Because coffee is its own food group…
Have you ever had a week where you are pretty sure that without coffee you would have fallen asleep standing up? This was definitely one of those weeks. I’ve been really good at getting a decent amount of sleep lately, until this week. The combination of a short month (which meant cramming my usual number…
Excited to be 2018 Skirt Sports Ambassador!
You all know my love of Skirt Sports. I probably spend more than 50% of my life wearing some piece of Skirt Sports gear (and now that they have the Hangout Pants, it might be higher.) But it’s not just the clothes I love (and you know I love my Happy Girls!) It’s the people….
January Ultimate Coffee Date because BRRR…
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last had coffee wth everyone. I don’t post on the weekends these days and I never seem to remember to post the Friday beforehand. I like combining Friday Five and Coffee, I’m just a slacker apparently. But I’ve been drinking so much coffee to stay warm…
Evaluating my 2017 goals
2017 is mere days from ending. I still have 6 more runs and 14.4 more miles to complete my year. I’m taking the boys to visit my parents for a few days – where the temps are barely in the single digits. I have a feeling I’ll be hitting the treadmill each day for the…
Top 5 posts from 2017
This week has been a crazy week. Having Christmas fall on a Monday means that the stores and post office have been swamped this week. This is normally my week to get everything done before people who have less flexible schedules are out of work. It’s been totally crazy with the lines! Thankfully, other than…
Halloween on the Run
Tuesdays on the Run is getting into the spirit of the season, so join me today for Halloween on the Run. First, I have to wish a happy 12th birthday to our little Halloween surprise. He came early and fast and joined us unexpectedly on the morning of Halloween. It’s hard to believe it’s been…
Things that make you go hmmm…
This week has been, well, a week. My older son turned 16 – on the same day he had to take the PSATs. Poor kid. I’ve barely been running. I’ve just lost all motivation plus suddenly all the things that I ignored this summer are suddenly needing to be done. So today’s topic of “Things…
Alternative Marathon Training AKA hiking at altitude
Last Wednesday, Beer Geek, the boys, and I all hopped a plane at o’dark thirty from DC to Denver. Upon arrival, we grabbed our rental car and headed 5 hours away to Angel Fire, New Mexico. Our plan was to visit Taos and the Taos Pueblo, as well as various hiking activities. Instead, he and…
Amazon Prime Day AKA Christmas in July
Today on Tuesdays on the Run, our topic is “Running items you use for non-running purposes”. Since I wrote pretty much that exact post last spring, I figured it would be a bit redundant to do so again. And you all know that I haven’t worn anything but Skirt Sports skirts since it warmed up…
Rating my year at the 6 month point
At the end of each month, we’ve been asking you to rate your running month as part of Tuesdays on the Run. As we close out June, I’m also going to check in on my annual goals too. As far as June goes, it started off strong and then flatlined. My body didn’t bounce back…
