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…

Saturday morning, I was supposed to run the JFK 20k. For a lot of reasons, I just wasn’t feeling the love. I tried to argue myself into it and just couldn’t. So I DNS’d it and went for a run in my neighborhood in honor of Meg Menzies. There are many posts out there in…

We got lucky. I woke up this morning to my cell phone ringing. It was Beer Geek’s work checking to see if he was teleworking or taking the day off. Why they needed to know at 6:48am, I’ll never understand. But, more importantly, I woke to a warm house with power, two soundly sleeping children,…
It’s the little things…
I saw a post on Miss Zippy this week about what makes you happy. I love the list of small things, because of course there are plenty of good big things in my life, but it’s the small stuff that can make or break any individual day. So, here’s a list of the little things…
One of those days…
Yesterday started out with a thunderstorm. Which would not have been a problem, Except for an amazing crack of thunder. Which woke Shoo. Way earlier than I wanted. Then I couldn’t get in touch with my doctor. Because the lightning had knocked out their power. When I did finally get through, I sat on hold…
