I’m a leader!

At least for the day…

Have you been by Run Like a Mother this morning?  You might recognize the chick in the Vibrams.  (Go ahead – check it out, I’ll still be here…)

I’m the “Follow this Mother” recipient today!

When they contacted me last week, I was over the moon.  I gushed all over Beer Geek and showed him the book.  I was so.excited.  Beer Geek got that “deer in the headlights look” and was like “Congrats, I guess.”  Men!  They are just so clueless sometimes.

Today is a snow day here and I stayed up way too late last night worrying about the power going out (some people have phobias about bugs, mine’s about power outages in the winter…), so I need to get some coffee and then get the boys out in the snow.  I have 8 miles on the schedule today – I’m still hopeful they can be done outside, but only time will tell.

If you are stopping by from RLAM, welcome!  Get yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, and hang out for a bit.  I promise not all my posts are this scattered.  ;o)  And leave me a comment!  I’d love to have a chance to check out your blog if you have one!

    I want to hear more about your vibram transition. Did you go cold turkey from regular shoes? How long did it take for your legs to adjust? If you've already talked about it, send me the link to that post.

    If you find an outside 8 mile loop, can you share with the rest of the DC runners? I'm fearful that I won't be able to hit the street for another week after the snow/rain/sleet yesterday.Congratulations on being featured on RLAM!

    Your picture came up on RLAM on my reader this morning and I knew immediately that RLAM was featuring you. I was so excited for you! Congratulations! My 20 minute commute turned into a 4 hour Mad Max-style ordeal last night, and I am still wiped out this morning. Not sure I am going to get in the 6 miles today, especially since I have to do it outside. Bummer.

    Congratulations! Good luck running in the snow! At least you have a treadmill in your home if you can't get out, I've had to cancel a few runs this year because not only could I not run in the deep snow, but I couldn't get my car out of the driveway to get to the gym!

    Happy to be following you! I love the 50 races in 50 states idea. SO much less daunting than 50 marathons. My variation on the theme was The Thirteen Colonies…. But I haven't officially started that. Happy snow day, Mama!

    found you through RLAM. Have enjoyed reading your blog! Would love to hear more about the 5 fingers, you should post about that..maybe you already have. I just read Born To Run and they are all the rage where I live.

    That is exactly where I came from! Nice to meet you and I love your story! My running buddy and I are working on becoming minimalist runners and I'm getting eager for the temps to warm up here in IN so I can start running barefoot outside! (I'm really eager to get my feet on a pair of the new Merrels, actually).Come to Indy for a race! We have some great half and full marathons- our biggest event is probably the 500 Festival Mini Marathon (half) in May, we have an inaugural Women's Marathon this Labor Day weekend, and our Monumental event in October is great (marathon, half, and 5K offered)!

Coffee with a side of rain

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
