It’s been a long time since I had coffee in person with someone. Even thought it was never a regular thing for me, I miss it. But I’ll settle for virtual coffee today with Deb and Coco and my friends inside the computer. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I miss my…
February Runfessions: The Longest Short Month Ever
You know how short weeks at work often feel longer than a normal week, just because you still need to do the same amount of work in fewer days? Well, February always feels that way for me and this February was no exception. It’s been… a month. I’m joining Marcia to runfess my sins (and…
Throwing back to ZOOMA Bermuda
A year ago, we were only just beginning to get inklings of what was to come. Coronavirus was just beginning to make the news and the average American had no idea that the country would basically shut down in a month. In fact, my first real understanding came when some of our ZOOMA Bermuda medals…
January Runfessions: Month 13 of 2020
I can’t believe we are already at the end of January! It’s been a jampacked month of work and kids and house stuff and, sadly, not a whole lot of running. But I have high hopes for February on the running front… Today I’m joining Coach Marcia (you know she’s ZOOMA’s coach, right?) for some…
Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee
I’m not one to stay up super late on NYE, but ironically, last night I was up late thanks to insomnia. Thank you 2020 for one last kick in the teeth. So, I’m up a bit later than normal and sucking down caffeine like it’s my job. Seems appropriate to hook up with Deb and…
Last Coffee Date of 2020
2020 has been a year of major ups and downs. In some ways, it’s been the hardest year of my life, but there have been some really amazing things as well. Beer Geek and I got to go on vacation in Bermuda before the world shut down and we celebrated 25 years of marriage. Jones…
Seed Probiotics: a science based approach
I’m a big believer in probiotics. I have taken various ones over the years and have definitely felt better when I’m taking them consistently. And if you do any research, there are plenty of studies out there that confirm the potential benefits of probiotics, such as supporting gut health and vaginal balance. But the hard…
November definitely needs more coffee
6 days into November and I’m about ready to mainline coffee. That’s a thing, right? OK, probably not, so I’ll just make another big cup to get me through the day while I join Coco and Deborah for a little chit chat. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m so glad to…
October Visit to the Runfessional: Exhaustion
It’s that time of the month again – time to confess all of our running/fitness sins with Marcia over at Marcia’s Healthy Slice. I must runfess that I have been meaning to write more than twice a month for a while now, but I’m finding that I’m definitely suffering from pandemic brain. I only have…
Meeting up for Virtual Coffee
Ok, let’s be honest, the meetup may be virtual, but the coffee is absolutely not. I’m pretty sure I would not survive without coffee to start my day. I’m joining Deb and Coco for a virtual meetup – some day I’ll get to meet up for real with people again. If we were having coffee,…
September Runfessions: Getting Ready to Run ALL the Miles
September is usually one of my favorite months (October is my #1 favorite), and this year that holds true, sort of. The weather in Virginia has been awesome, but so many other things have been challenging, that it’s hard to appreciate the weather. I’m joining up with Marcia for a few runfessions (and maybe a…
Give me ALL the coffee, please!
I can’t believe it’s September already. In some ways, it feels like it’s been years since life was “normal”, but in others, it feels like the year is just flying by! I also can’t believe I haven’t posted since the last time we had coffee. Gone are the days when I posted 5 days a…
