Friday night at dinner, we decided to go to Great Falls Park on Saturday (review of our day at Metro DC Mom). I mentioned to Beer Geek that a lot of people hike in their Vibrams, but that I didn’t think I was quite ready for that yet. Jones looked at me and said “You…

In honor of 90210…
I decide to go through a box of crap letters and pictures from college. It seemed appropriate since I spent many an evening hanging with my sorority sisters watching “Beverly Hills, 90210”. We LOVED that show. (Did you realize it was still on until 2000? Really? Pretty sure I ditched the show long before that…
Three Things Thursday: Vibrams, Mileage, and Hard Core
1. I went for a short run on the treadmill in my Vibram shoes on Wednesday. I put a pair of knee hi’s over them to protect the bottoms (I’m sure it was attractive, but, no, I did not take a picture) and figured I’d run about a quarter mile. I ended up running 2.4…
A little cherry on the top

Guess what I got!
Aren’t they pretty? LOL I’m not 100% sure I’m going to keep them, but they happened to have my size at the store where I needed to buy Jones’ scout uniform. And they happened to offer a 10% discount because I was buying said scout uniform. So, I just happend to buy them. So far,…

I NEED Fall
Ok, I know I spend a lot of time whining about hot weather and not liking summer, but that isn’t the real issue today. Today’s issue is that I really need to do a long run and my only option is to do it today. I loathe doing long runs on the weekend. It totally…
Holy Over-Committment, Batman!
Last fall was really insane around here. Between soccer, races, and birthdays, we had a lot going on. This year looks to be even worse. I planned to do less this year, but as far as I can tell the only thing I’m not doing this year that I did last year is room mom…
Three Things Thursday: MissZippy, MGMVR report #2, and race update
1. A huge shout out to MissZippy! There’s a guest post up by her over at Metro DC Mom. She was kind enough to write up a review for me on a local event that I haven’t attended, so go show her a little love there or at her blog. 2. “Mama Goes Masters” viritual…
Wordless Wednesday: Happy Birthday to me!
And for more amusement, check out Metro DC Mom today.
Heading home
I can’t believe my two week vacation in Wisconsin is over. It’s been a really good two weeks. The boys have had a great time with my parents and I’ve gotten some good “me time”. Even more importantly, I’ve gotten some good “run time”. One of the best things about visiting home is that…
