I stayed up too late last night trying to find some pictures for Jones for a school project. When I went to bed, I woke Jones up accidentally (he lost a tooth and I was trying to play Tooth Fairy). Then Shoo woke up. Finally, I got everyone resettled and crawled into bed. Just as…

I did it, but it wasn’t pretty. I have some sort of issue going on with my left hip flexor. I’m not sure why, but it began to twinge last week during my 8 mile run and bothered me again today. It doesn’t seem to bother me for the shorter runs. Today’s 10 miler took…

We ended up having a nice weekend. I drank 4 beers and promptly went to sleep LOL. On the bright side, the beers were awesome (Flying Dog Amber, Dominion Baltic Porter, and Harpoon Winter Warmer). On the pathetic side, who goes to sleep at 8:30 after only 4 beers? I believe I am officially old….

I knew I’d have trouble making myself run last night, so I put on my running clothes as soon as we got back from picking Jones up from school. When Beer Geek walked in the door, I hit the treadmill. Since it was Friday night and I was feeling unmotivated, I aimed for three miles…

Move along folks. Nothing really running related going on. LOL I thought I might run yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling it after the 8 miles on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until it was too late that Beer Geek would be home late this evening, so I wouldn’t be able to run tonight. Of course,…

I’ve moved my long run to Tuesdays because both boys have school. That way, I can run as long as I want and not really impact anyone but me. Because today was a holiday, the boys and Beer Geek were home. Beer Geek asked me to run early in the morning. I had an eight…

Since I ran yesterday, today I planned to “cross train” by raking the leaves in our yard. We have 6 100+ year old Oak trees that drop a phenomenal amount of leaves every year. I enjoy raking and I figured the boys could play or ride bikes/trikes or help me. Yeah, not so much. I…

Now that the marathon is over, I’ve stopped getting up early on Saturdays to run. I’m not a morning person and that was perhaps the hardest part of marathon training for me. Jones had his last soccer game of the season at 9:45 and Shoo had a birthday party from 11-1, so the morning was…

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day! Beautiful! When Shoo and I got to Jones’ school to pick him up, all of the kids were a little stir crazy. It was like the weather made them think it was nearly spring and that school was about to be out. Even with the quarter mile walk back…

And I feel awesome! I did a quick three miles (26:30) on the treadmill when Beer Geek came home and I feel so much better now. Whew! This has been an awesome day. Jones didn’t have school because of the election, but Shoo had preschool. I voted early because lines were projected to be super…

I’ve been in a cranky mood all day. The kids have been stepping all over my last nerve and I’ve been snapping at everyone. My patience with their behavior has been totally lacking. I’m not usually that way. I mean, I have my bad mommy moments, but rarely a whole day (or two) where I’m…
