A couple of weeks ago, I won a race entry from a local race company (Pacers Events) with this Instagram photo. The win netted me entry into either the St.Pat’s races or the Four Courts Four Miler. Since Beer Geek and I were already running the Four Miler, I chose the St. Pat’s 10K. (And…
Tips for running in the wind
I confess: I did not run outside yesterday, solely due to the wind. Generally speaking, I’m not a fair weather runner. As one of my friends always says “There’s no such thing as bad weather. There are only poor clothing choices.” While I may not agree to that 100%, I do usually put on my…
TOTR: Rating my February running
February has never been my favorite month. It tends to be grey and we often get our big snowstorms then. Even if it’s not a snowy month, I’m usually mentally over winter by the time it ends. And this February was just too erratic to be loved. These happened just about a week apart: I…

How is it nearly the end of February? Or really, how is it only February? Why do I ask that? Because I haven’t run in layers in weeks. In fact, yesterday I wore a Happy Girl and a tank top and was too hot. We shall rename 2017 the year without a winter. So, what…
TOTR: Three running wishes
Do you ever dream about just making a wish and having it come true? Are there things you’d choose if wishing on a shooting star really worked or someone handed you Aladdin’s lamp? I’m a big believer in working hard and striving for your dreams, but sometimes it’s nice to think about what I’d wish…

A love letter to my BFF, Running
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today on Tuesdays on the Run, we are talking about things we love about running. I’m not really the love letter type, but I figured today would be a good day to let running know how I feel about it. Dear Running, Here we are again on Valentine’s Day. Another year has…
Duckpin Bowling and Love the Run 5K
It’s Monday, mmmm, Monday. Hmm, that doesn’t quite have the same feel as “It’s Friday, frfrfr, Friday” does… We have a busy, but fun weekend this weekend. On Saturday, Beer Geek wanted to try out something new to us – duckpin bowling. What, you ask, is duckpin bowling? Well, it’s bowling with small balls (3.5-5…
2017 Discounts You Don’t Want to Miss!
Well, hello, Friday! It’s so good to see you again! This has been the weirdest week. We were in the upper 60s/low 70s for two days. Then we dropped to mid 30s yesterday and will likely be the same tomorrow. Then we get 60s again for the weekend. I seriously can’t keep up. I’ve run…
Potato Leek Soup to warm you on a cold day
Soup is one of my favorite foods. Yes, the entire category. In fact, when I was pregnant with Jones, I craved soup at every meal. Since Virginia has decided that today is winter, this potato leek soup is on the menu. I need to make it while it’s actually cold enough to enjoy it. You…
Scenes from my so-called winter running
It’s February. It’s the deepest darkest coldest part of winter. Or not. This year, Virginia has been a little confused. Honestly, I think she’s having hot flashes. I mean, we’ve had a few cold days, but we’ve had just as many warm days. In fact, I’ve worn my Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze Capri (affiliate link)…
