Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Cargo Schwarz. All opinions and the waffle recipe are my own. Welcome to the January edition of “Cooking with Beer”! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It’s a fun time to think outside…
Marine Corps Marathon, I just can’t quit you…
It’s almost that time of year again. Time to start sorting out my registration for the Marine Corps Marathon. Do I try to get online and sign up for 17.75? And then run one of the hardest races in the area for the pleasure of handing over my credit card to pay for my guaranteed…
Once again I find myself runfessing…
How on earth is it nearly the end of January? This month just flew by and I’m not even sure that I accomplished anything. OK, that’s a lie. I managed to spend way too much money on car repairs – in part thanks to rodents. Know what they told me at the dealership yesterday??? That…
There is no such thing as too many shoes!
Today on Tuesdays on the Run, we want you to show us your shoes! Here are mine… You might notice that they all have something in common. Yes, they are all Altras. I will admit to being part of Altra’s Red Team, but even if I hadn’t been asked back in 2018, I would still…

2018 Predictions: Certainties and Uncertainties
Here we are, two weeks into 2018, and I guess what? I have no idea what the year will bring. At this point in time, I’ve registered for 1! race – the Frederick Half Marathon. I’ve bought no plane tickets and made no travel plans. While I am far from a type A personality, I…
Acupuncture: something new for 2018
Albert Einstein is regularly credited with the quote “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” While he may or may not have actually said it, the concept is spot on. Towards the end of 2017, it became apparent that I needed to make some changes. My first…
My “I don’t feel at all guilty” running pleasures
Yesterday was quite a day. I accidentally deleted a chunk of my blog sidebar, I got to spend a significant amount of time getting gum out of someone’s hair (my hands still smell like a bizarre combination of mango and peanut butter), and I nearly killed myself trying to get my skinny jeans off over…
January Ultimate Coffee Date because BRRR…
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last had coffee wth everyone. I don’t post on the weekends these days and I never seem to remember to post the Friday beforehand. I like combining Friday Five and Coffee, I’m just a slacker apparently. But I’ve been drinking so much coffee to stay warm…
My Big Scary Goal for 2018
2018 is here and I still feel like much of my life is in flux. While I am not a Type A personality, I do like to have my life somewhat planned and be in control of the things around me. That doesn’t seem to be how life is going to work for now, so…
Final Runfessions for 2017
Here we are with three days left in 2017. It’s the final Friday Five of the year and the final Runfessions. And I have to admit that I do have a few runfessions to share… As I write this, I’m 4.8 miles from 1400 for the year and 7.1 miles from 100 from December. I…
2017 in Pictures
Welcome to my favorite post to write each year! I admit I love the ego walk down memory lane at the end of the year LOL. This *might* by my last post of 2017, but I do have some runfessions. Life has been a little crazy for the last few weeks, so I didn’t get…
