A love letter to my BFF, Running
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today on Tuesdays on the Run, we are talking about things we love about running. I’m not really the love letter type, but I figured today would be a good day to let running know how I feel about it. Dear Running, Here we are again on Valentine’s Day. Another year has…
Duckpin Bowling and Love the Run 5K
It’s Monday, mmmm, Monday. Hmm, that doesn’t quite have the same feel as “It’s Friday, frfrfr, Friday” does… We have a busy, but fun weekend this weekend. On Saturday, Beer Geek wanted to try out something new to us – duckpin bowling. What, you ask, is duckpin bowling? Well, it’s bowling with small balls (3.5-5…
2017 Discounts You Don’t Want to Miss!
Well, hello, Friday! It’s so good to see you again! This has been the weirdest week. We were in the upper 60s/low 70s for two days. Then we dropped to mid 30s yesterday and will likely be the same tomorrow. Then we get 60s again for the weekend. I seriously can’t keep up. I’ve run…
Scenes from my so-called winter running
It’s February. It’s the deepest darkest coldest part of winter. Or not. This year, Virginia has been a little confused. Honestly, I think she’s having hot flashes. I mean, we’ve had a few cold days, but we’ve had just as many warm days. In fact, I’ve worn my Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri (affiliate link)…
Some weeks I need a coffee IV
I haven’t joined in on the Ultimate Coffee date in a while, so I thought I’d jump back on that bandwagon. However, I don’t post on the weekends, so I’m combining Friday Five and Coffee. Sounds like a perfect combination to me. Anyways, I’m joining up with my friends Deborah and Coco for a virtual coffee date (they are…
Bucket List Race: Utah Valley Marathon
Several years ago, when I first started my quest to run a race in every state, we went to Utah on vacation. I had not yet decided I needed to run half marathons in each state, so I ran a lovely 10K in Provo, UT. I’ve been kicking myself ever since – I still need to…
Rating my January running
It’s hard to believe we are already a month into the new year. It’s seemed to fly by and yet drag, all at the same time. Since we are ending the month, the topic for Tuesdays on the Run is “rate your month of running.” Did you get an A? A C for effort? Or…
Tips for surviving stressful times
This has been a challenging week. Jones has been in the middle of quarter finals. Shoo has had a rough week with his soccer team and then one of his past teachers passed away suddenly. And, well, I can’t even talk about the other things ’cause you’d find me hiding a corner somewhere… But it’s Friday…
You want how much??? 5 tips to save on races
Races aren’t cheap. These days it seems like even the small local races are starting to up their prices. Don’t get me wrong – I know that there are a lot of costs that go into races, even if you are able to get volunteers to handle much of the packet pickup and day of…
GW Parkway 10 miler training begins
This weekend was, umm, interesting. Living near DC, we are always affected by the Inauguration. Add in the Women’s March and the whole area was in a bit of an uproar. For the moment, I am continuing my personal choice of keeping politics off my blog and social media, but it was a pretty amazing weekend…
Gear to keep you warm when it’s cold outside
I love winter running. I am not a fan of heat and humidity, so I’d much rather run in all the layers than sweat through a 100* run. We haven’t had too many days so far this year to pull out the big guns, but since the topic for today’s Tuesdays on the Run is…
