Once a month, for a couple of days, I become a real witch. (Beer Geek would probably say that word should start with a B.) Today was one of those days. EVERYTHING annoyed me. Shoo also happened to be in rare form ( I never realized 4 year olds got PMS). For once, Jones was…

Three Things Thursday
1. I still haven’t decided on a marathon. As a planner, this is driving.me.crazy. Seriously. 2. I did a nine mile run on the treadmill yesterday, while watching “In Bruges”. The movie was “meh.” The run started off rough, but ended up being awesome. I did seriously negative splits (46:12 and 42:49). Hopefully that’s my…
Yay for goals!
10 miles to go until I hit 100 for December. 11.5 until I hit 1050 for the year. I didn’t feel like changing to run today. I had no issues with not wanting to run. I just didn’t feel like making the effort to get ready. Unfortunately, I’d only run 19.8 miles this week and…
3 Things Thursday – Holiday Edition
1. Merry Christmas!!! In a few short hours, we’ll be heading to church and then the boys will choose a beer and some cookies for Santa, sprinkle reindeer food on the snow, and head to bed with visions of Legos dancing in their heads. 2. This year, I participated in Morning Runner‘s holiday gift/card exchange….
Virginians just don’t "get" snow
So, over the course of Friday night and Saturday all day, we got 16.5 inches. It’s been years since we got a snowfall like that and people here just don’t know what to do with it. Our house sides a busy street, so we got to see lots of people doing stupid things. Take, for…

Snowpocaplypse
So, they are calling for 10-20 inches of snow tomorrow. This is a southern state, so that means we could be snowed in for DAYS. Seriously. When I went to the grocery store today(to buy honey and flour for baking), there were no parking spots and the lines were outrageous. Everyone was buying EGGS, BREAD,…
1000 miles and sore legs
Today I hit 1000 miles for the year! That’s about two weeks earlier than last year and I didn’t train for and run a marathon this year. I’ve also hit 51.5 miles for December, so I’m just over halfway to my 100 miles for the month. Apparently, I haven’t been pushing myself much lately. I…
Nothing to see here
I meant to write a post this weekend, but I had very little to say. I have a feeling that what follows will be a bunch of random thoughts. In fact, maybe I should just use bullet points… Jones had his first indoor soccer game this weekend. It is a totally different game from outdoor…
100 mile goal
I haven’t hit 100 miles in one month since January. I had planned to hit in November, but having a week where I ran a grand total of 7 miles, thanks to the flu, meant I was happy to break 80 miles. In order to accomplish 100 miles in December, I just have to average…
Getting faster
No, not while I’m running. We are getting FIOS today. Soon I’ll be able to read your blogs at a screamingly fast rate. Or not, ’cause I’m pretty sure it won’t make me actually read faster LOL. Not a whole lot going on here. We’ve discovered that Jones is willing to cover a lot of…
Umm, ouch!
I think I may be taking the HBBC too seriously. Not as a competition with other people, but I can’t stand the idea of earning 0 points one day LOL. Yesterday I knew I wouldn’t be running and would not have time for a walk, so I figured I’d better do SOMETHING so that I…
