On Sunday I ran 7 miles.  They were awesome.  I had a hard time staying as slow as I wanted to run. Yesterday, I did not have that problem.  I wanted to run 8 miles,  but it was cold and really windy.  I don’t mind cold, but with the wind I just couldn’t get warm. …

I’ve been wanting to join in on the WIAW over at Peas & Crayons for a while now, but a) I suck at remembering to take pictures and b) I tend to eat a lot of on the run bits and pieces rather than meals.  I’ve been working really hard to slow down and actually…

Confession:  I step on my scale nearly every morning. I have a routine – I get up, go to the bathroom, put in my contacts (helps to be able to actually see the scale LOL), and then hop on the scale.  I even know how much to subtract for specific pajamas versus being naked. Surprisingly…

I owe you all some real posts – a review of Tommie Copper and a brewing with Mad Fox non-race report, but I find that my brain cells are otherwise occupied today.  We have our annual beer dinner this weekend and I not only have not figure out the food, I don’t have the beer. …

G tagged me to give you guys 21 random things about me.  I’ve done a lot of “random” posts, so this was kind of hard LOL.  I tried to come up with some new things this go round. I will eat just about anything for breakfast: pizza, sweet potatoes, stuffing, whatever.  I’ll also eat breakfast…

This past week, Virginia decided that instead of suiting up for the holidays, she’d give us one more week of early fall.  Afternoon temps for the last few days have been in the mid to high 60s with one day in the 70s. Run outside in shorts and a t-shirt?  Why, yes I will, thank…

Last year at this time, I was limping after my achilles got angry at the local turkey trot. This year, I’m slower and my endurance is way less, but I’m finally running pain free! I’ve learned not to try to race our local TT.  The first mile involves mostly trying not to run over dogs,…

Beer Geek and I have been together for about 17 Thanksgivings. In that time, I think I’ve cooked 4 turkeys.  One of those times, I set my oven on fire. This Thanksgiving prep was not as dramatic, but I’m pretty sure it’s one I won’t forget.     In the end, the turkey fit in…

1. I’ve been on a major quest to reorganize my house. We’ve been in this house 14 years, you’d think I’d have figured out the best place to keep my spatulas. I’ve been reading a book called Eliminate Chaos (first step for me was to get the e-version from the library LOL). Unlike the 5…

What? That’s not a triathlon? Darn. Last night I finally reached a point where my cheekbones and teeth didn’t hurt, so I figured I needed to take Jamoosh’s advice and sweat the ickies out.  It was supposed to rain, so I planned to head to the gym  (I’ll run in the rain but not when…
