No beer today. No running today. No kids calling me funny names. Today was just a nice, typical day in my life. I’ve been trying to walk more on days when I’m not running. I’ve realized I’m not likely to get much above 25 miles per week running any time soon. I just don’t…
Hooray for Spring 6 miler report
I woke up this morning feeling like this: We went to the Auction for Jones’ school last night. Since I’m a beer connoisseur (ok, maybe more of a beer snob), I wasn’t interested in drinking the beer that was available. The venue also didn’t allow red wine (my next favorite drink). So, I ended up…
And the truth comes out
Yesterday, when we were walking to school, I told Jones to get up on the sidewalk, instead of the street. His response? “But, mom, you’re a street walker.” And that folks, is apparently how I afford to be a stay at home mom and still stimulate the “econonmy”. LOL In other news, I had…
Spring Training
Today’s topic over at the Runner’s Lounge is “Spring Training”. I’m a big fan of spring (not so much of summer). It’s my favorite time of the year. My tips: 1) Make sure you have some variety – there are a lot of options out there. One day have a pilsner, another day a…
Beer Wednesday
I put together the regional beer basket for the auction at Jones’ school. If you notice, one beer is missing. We bought a Lager from Blue and Gray Brewery, but it has to be refrigerated. I have to decide whether to include a note that I’ll deliver that beer or include a NY beer or…
When all else fails, run!
Today was my free day. After I dropped Shoo off at preschool, I planned to run some errands, go to the eye dr.’s and then catch up on a backlog of stuff from my various volunteer positions. I managed to buy a couple of pairs of shorts and then went to my appointment. I hadn’t…
Let’s add Provinces too.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m trying to run a race in all 50 states. One of the states I was planning to hit this year was Maine. Unfortunately, I did not get into the race I wanted to do and there aren’t any others that are at the right time and are longer than a…
State #3 and 1:59:24
Didja miss me? Short story: I ran the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon this morning and finished in 1:59:24. Woot! More information than you probably care to know: We had an awesome weekend. We headed up north around 1 on Friday. After checking in and taking the boys to the pool, we met one of…
Newfangled running
I ran with the new ipod today. I’m still loading music and haven’t had time to set up a running playlist yet, so I just set it on shuffle. It started off good with a peppy Ace of Base song, but the next song up was Air Supply. While I like Air Supply, it’s not…
A little extra time on my hands
Usually I’ve run at least 10 miles by this point in a week. This week I’ve run 3. I also skipped my workout class because Shoo had a dentist appointment. This is doing weird things to my brain and horrible things to my eating habits. I’ve been on a mini binge – too much…
Do I look different?
I certainly feel different LOL. The new Mac is awesome, but my fingers have a steep learning curve with the laptop keyboard. I also got an ipod and so far have loaded ABBA, Air Supply, Uncle Tupelo, The Replacements, Deana Carter, and Paul Westerberg. I need to load some Fugazi and then I have at…
Excuse me, I’m busy stimulating the economy
Since I have no long run scheduled for tomorrow, I’m left with some time on my hands. Granted, I could spend my time doing housework (it’s currently impossible to walk across the playroom and the dining room rug crunches when you step on it) or reading (I have a HUGE pile of books and magazines…
