Color me unhappy.  I ran on the treadmill last night and, despite a fan blowing on me, looked like I’d been swimming by the time I was done.  Wonder if I’ll manage to pull off the last day of my 10 day streak today?

I’ve got a bit of a mini running streak going.  Yesterday, I ran for the 7th day in a row!  Runs ranged from 3.5 miles to 10.1 miles, for a total of 37 miles this week (2.5 of them barefoot).  This is not normal for me.  Three days in a row is usually my max…

Thanks for being the best mom a girl could ask for!  Enjoy your birthday fireworks.  ;o)

Some days my kids make it perfectly clear why I’m a runner… before we left for camp yesterday, Jones had already lost a few privileges because he couldn’t keep his hands off of his brother we are nearly out of food because taking both boys to the grocery store is one of the forgotten circles…

Here’s to many more years of traveling and beer! I forgot to mention the other items that Jamoosh brought us… A glass for Beer Geek’s collection And one of the limited edition Last Mile bottle openers! Don’t you all wish you were me?  ;o) Don’t forget – Ryders sunglasses giveway ends Friday night.

If there is any company out there that would like to sponsor it, I’m here… (pause) Hmm, guess not. So, instead, I’ve got two pairs of Ryders sunglasses to give!  There will be two lucky winners and the first name chosen by the random number generator gets to choose first. Pair # 1:  Pink Flange…

1. We are on track to have the hottest June on record.  Do I really need to say more about that? 2.  I am feeling a little overwhelmed lately.  Perhaps taking on a new “assignment” just as my kids are getting out of school and we are wrapping up all of the school related stuff…

Sunday morning I got up early and was out running by 6:30am.  It was one of those summer mornings where it was super sunny, 79 degrees, and really humid.  It felt much more like August than June, even for Virginia.  From the first step, the run was a struggle.  I was counting every tenth of…

Happy Father’s Day to two of the best dads out there! To the one and only Beer Geek – the one who plays with the boys while mom’s out running, teaches them all the fart jokes they’ll ever need to know, and is the “walking source of all useless knowledge” and answers all the “why”…

I was awarded the “You’re Going Places” Award by G at Neurosis of the SAHM of 3.  I’m supposed to tell you where I think I’ll be in 10 years and then give the award to 10 bloggers. In 10 years, I will be just about to turn 50 (ack!) and I will have just…

1.  Go check out my new gig.  I’ve been offered the opportunity to do some mommy blogging for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.    I’ll be offering tips/reviews on things to do in the area, highlighting some local area resources, and generally chatting about raising kids in the DC area.   If you’re local…
