After last week’s 13 mile run, I decided to take it a little easier this week and only do 10 miles on my long run and then do a 14 mile run next week before I do a small taper for the half marathon. As it turns out, my long run this week may be…

The biggest problem with yesterday’s beer-o-rama was the beer munchies that came afterwards. Despite eating a relatively large lunch, I spent the afternoon munching on pretty much everything in sight. I wasn’t overly worried about it as I scaled back dinner and figured I’d run it off doing intervals today. Unfortunately, sometimes being a mom…

It’s been a quiet week in our household, so not much to talk about. Therefore, I’ll borrow from another blogger and give you guys a little “back talk”. RE: Baby Steps Now, don’t go thinking I’m getting the kind of results one might see from a major time commitment to weight lifting. I’m not. But…

We don’t celebrate Valentines Day here. Beer Geek is not a fan of shopping and I’m not a fan of cards and neither of us is big on made up holidays. We barely celebrate our anniversary most years, so it was quite easy to drop V Day off our list of celebrations. Now, Friday the…

Jones has developed a bit of an addiction to the Nintendo DS. We have specific rules about when he may or may not play, but are having some issues with how long he’s allowed to play. Today it was really nice outside again, so Shoo and I walked and picked him up from school. After…

No run today. I’m still coughing a lot. Instead, I spent my day going to church, attending an appreciation luncheon for volunteering with a mom’s group, and playing with Shoo at THREE! different playgrounds. All in all, a fun day and a good way to use the beautiful spring weather. When I decided to ask…

Short story: 12K in 1:08:20ish (I’m not exactly sure of my time as I forgot to hit stop on the Garmin, the official results are not up, and it was not chip-timed). Anyways, I got up this morning and had my usual pre-long run breakfast of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some coffee….

I suck at cross training. I love to run, but I’m not a big fan of much else. I don’t own a bike (although we may change that in the spring), I don’t belong to a gym, and I don’t currently have a good spot in my house to do a video. So, I’ve been…

No, not that beautiful sandy stuff near water (although I’ve never actually run on a beach). I hate running while following the South Beach Diet. I needed to do something to break the sugar and alcohol binge I was on. I’ve done Phase 1 of the SBD a few times in the past and it’s…

This week’s “Take It and Run Thursday” topic over at the Runner’s lounge is the Half Marathon. I’m not sure I can impart any great wisdom on how to run your best half, but I can probably tell you what not to do. ;o) 13 has always been a good number for me. My first…

Or more accurately, flying from the cold. Tomorrow morning, we head to TX to celebrate Beer Geek’s grandmother’s 100th birthday. I’m looking forward to the warmer weather, seeing family, and getting away from the chaos that will be Inauguration weekend. And man, what a huge milestone 100 years is! I did another treadmill run tonight….
