After dropping both boys at their respective schools and dropping a few dollars at Tarjay (I found two bathing suits! 2!), I headed out for a run.  The weather today was beautiful – sunny and about 50 degrees.  I wanted to do at least 8 miles, but was hoping to be closer to 13.  I…

I headed out for a quick three mile run today after Beer Geek got home.   The plan was to run for 30 minutes at whatever pace felt good and call it a day.  As I crossed the major road that cuts our neighborhood in half, I noticed a lot more cars then normal.  …

Not only did I not get my 5 hours of freedom (AKA Shoo in preschool), but I had to co-op today, which meant I got to spend those 5 hours playing with other people’s children.  As an added bonus, I got to be in the infant/young toddlers room.  The day went fine, but I’m not…

No beer today. No running today. No kids calling me funny names. Today was just a nice, typical day in my life.   I’ve been trying to walk more on days when I’m not running.  I’ve realized I’m not likely to get much above 25 miles per week running any time soon.  I just don’t…

I woke up this morning feeling like this: We went to the Auction for Jones’ school last night.  Since I’m a beer connoisseur (ok, maybe more of a beer snob), I wasn’t interested in drinking the beer that was available.  The venue also didn’t allow red wine (my next favorite drink).  So, I ended up…

Yesterday, when we were walking to school, I told Jones to get up on the sidewalk, instead of the street.    His response?  “But, mom, you’re a street walker.” And that folks, is apparently how I afford to be a stay at home mom and still stimulate the “econonmy”. LOL In other news, I had…

Today was my free day.  After I dropped Shoo off at preschool, I planned to run some errands, go to the eye dr.’s and then catch up on a backlog of stuff from my various volunteer positions.  I managed to buy a couple of pairs of shorts and then went to my appointment.  I hadn’t…

I certainly feel different LOL.  The new Mac is awesome, but my fingers have a steep learning curve with the laptop keyboard.  I also got an ipod and so far have loaded ABBA, Air Supply, Uncle Tupelo, The Replacements, Deana Carter, and Paul Westerberg.  I need to load some Fugazi and then I have at…

Since I have no long run scheduled for tomorrow, I’m left with some time on my hands. Granted, I could spend my time doing housework (it’s currently impossible to walk across the playroom and the dining room rug crunches when you step on it) or reading (I have a HUGE pile of books and magazines…

Today I had a 6 mile “race pace” run planned. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out my planned race pace. As much as I’d love a sub-2 half, I don’t think I’m ready to run 13 miles at a 9:09 pace. So, I decided to run at about a 9:20 pace. I hurried home from church…

Today was absolutely gorgeous! Low 60s when I first went outside and it continued to warm up to about 72. I needed to do a short run, so I sent Beer Geek and the boys to the park and I headed out for a quick three miler. I wore a short sleeve shirt and capris….

No, not that kind of streaker. That kind of streaking would only take a few beers worth of convincing.* No, I can not become a runner who streaks, aka runs every day. Today was supposed to be a rest day. I ran the last three days (one of them twice and all of them pretty…
