Thigh highs. ;o) Enjoy, TMB! And, just for the record, because I drink good beer, the 13th winner of my giveaway will now score an extra glass. Yeah, that’s why I had an extra beer tonight. Just for you all.

Fit and Fast by Forty
In three months, I hit a new decade. I am not really having any angst about turning 40, but I do want to hit my 40s in great shape. My 30s were hard on my body. I spent much of that time trying to get pregnant, pregnant, or nursing. I looked like this twice: 36…
Three Things Thursday
On Wednesday, I couldn’t resist going for a run. I only did 2.5 easy miles, but they felt awesome. The only reminder of the marathon was a lingering soreness in my left quad. My knee that started hurting around mile 23 seems to be healed. I could barely walk at this point after my last…
Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Finish Line
I call this: “Oh, thank God, I’m done!” (Thanks to my friend, T, for taking the pic) And some pictures from last week’s anniversary dinner: Beer Sausages and spaetzle Rugelach (Please note that the beer is served in the correct style of glass, while the dessert was served on plastic plates. This tells you a…
“Beer is Good” Giveaway
That’s right, folks. It’s the giveaway you’ve been waiting for. 13 prizes, 13 winners! The awesome prizes: (prizes will be at minimum what you see here. I reserve the right to be more generous.) 1. An awesome growler cooler from Rock Bottom Brewery. Don’t know what a growler is or don’t live near a…
More than you ever wanted to know
This report is going to be super long. I need to get it all out of my head and onto “paper” so that when I consider doing this again, I can see what I was thinking. Not that that stopped me from running a second marathon after saying “never again” during the first. Grab a…
You’ve been "chic"ed!
As I mentioned in my race report from this past weekend, I ended up passing two guys at the very last second, just because I could. Amazingly, it was all caught on film. Major kudos to Pacers and Swim Bike Run Photography for not only catching this in an awesome set of pictures, but also…

The view from my window and the state of my mind
Shelly over at It’s Just One Foot in Front of the Other tagged me with a request for a view from my life. This is the view out my kitchen window. It’s our side patio where we spend many an evening hanging out with friends sharing some good beers. This is the view out my…
Spibelt review and miscellaneous Monday
So, we aren’t big on gifts around here. The boys always make me things at school and I really don’t need much in the way of “stuff”. When Beer Geek asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day, I told him I wanted the camera I’d been researching and a shopping “spree” at Pacers. He…
Celebrating Mother’s Day with a PR!
Of course, never having run a Quarter Marathon before, I was guaranteed a PR today LOL. After a night of virtually no sleep (thanks to insomnia and Jones), I got up at 4 am to be at the race to volunteer at 6am. It was about 50 degrees and majorly windy, so I was pretty…
Tall Mom’s Virtual Race + 3 Things Thursday
In Honor of Tall Mom’s Virtual Race to raise money for Marathon for the Cure, I’m writing this with a pink background. It may be a hideous failure LOL. I was so excited about this race that I did it three times and FAILED to get a decent time any of those times. Yesterday was…
