1.  I started my coaching business last week and have four clients and a couple of potentials at this point.  I ran with one client Tuesday (and then ran my own miles), ran with another client Wednesday morning, and then ran with a small group at the track with my coaching mentor.   I learned a…

I’m more than a little bit overwhelmed by my life at the moment. Most of it in a good way, but I keep wondering when the balls I’m juggling will start falling on my head. ;o) Because of that, my goals this year are a bit more “how to not have my head pop off…

You know, the one where we told 2010 that we were done with sick kids, dead dryers, rodents, and other aggravations. We ended the year with all of us mostly healthy (some lingering coughs and an occasional twinge in my ankle), a new dryer, and a plan for 2011. Guess we should have told 2011…

2010 was not only a fun year, but it was a year of some awesome events and pictures. I started January by rockin’ my McGyver compression socks: In February, we got hit by a ton of snow and I got to start marathon training long runs with lots of loops on icy roads and a…

Despite a late in the year injury, 2010 was a pretty good year.  I ran more miles than I’ve ever run.  I PR’d at two distances (oddly enough a 5k and a marathon).  I got some new states in and I drank a whole lot of beer.  What more could I ask for?  OK, I…

At least not on the treadmill (and slow is relative, people.) Yesterday I did another 4 mile run on the treadmill.  I had the boys home with me (I have them all week while Beer Geek works), so I either needed to run on the treadmill or hit the road when he came home.  It…

So I blogged about the amazing Christmas present my dad gave me.  And Beer Geek and I don’t exchange gifts (and Jones didn’t make me a gift at school for the first time ever.  Ok, that made me a bit sad.) So, what did I get that was so amazing? 3.2 miles of outside running…

1.  I can’t be trusted around sweets.  I just can’t.  And if I eat one, I eat 10.  My usual plan for dealing with that is not having any that *I* really like in the house.  Unfortunately, right now I have some awesome cookies my mom made and some chocolates a friend made.  I ate…

 My dad made me this medal holder for Christmas!  He even made slots on the shelf to hold the coins that the military races around here like to give out.  I’m so excited to finally have a place for medals again.  So excited, in fact, that it’s time to get moving again and find some…

Exercise, that is. Remember these arms? I got those thanks to the FEET of snow we got in February.  My arms don’t look quite like that right now, but between hot yoga, lifting weights at the gym, and this… I’m working on getting those arms back.  The two inches of snow we got were a…

Look what came in the mail last night… My gift from the bloggy gift exchange organized by Jill.  AJH at Age Groups Rock sent me a lovely glass and bottle opener from Otter Creek and some really soft,warm socks from Cabot Hosiery Mills.  Do you think maybe she knows me?  LOL   Huge thank you to…

I’m a Wisconsin girl at heart.  I love colder weather.  I have no problem going out when it’s cold out, as long as I’ve dressed appropriately.  Umm, until this year that is. This year, I can’t seem to stay warm.  I’m wearing ridiculous amounts of layers to bed.  I’m choosing the treadmill for nearly every…
