15 years ago, I stepped on a treadmill in an effort to combat postpartum depression. I had run as exercise off and on over the years, but I’d never considered myself a runner. Once I realized that running helped me cope with my emotional state and a challenging newborn, running became a regular part of…

50 States Half Marathon Planning
Confession: I haven’t run a half marathon since August. In fact, the only race I’ve run is Marine Corps Marathon. And I only have one more race on my calendar for 2016 – the 5 mile Chocolate Run. I am absolutely OK with how 2016 is wrapping up. In fact, I’ve actively chosen not to…
Black Friday Runfessions
Today is Friday, right? I’ve been so confused about the day all week because Jones was out of town until Monday night, Shoo did not have his usual soccer practice, and neither boy had school on Wednesday. Somehow it feels like it should be Monday, but I still have three days off. Sweet! Since it’s…
Who is going streaking with me? #RWrunstreak
Yes, it’s nearly that time of year again! Time to jump on the Runner’s World Run Streak bandwagon. While I will never be a long term streaker, I love using this particular streak to help me get back into running. Or, in my case, 45 days of AWESOME, since I’ve run the last five days…

Turkey Sweet Potato Soup and more
It’s almost Thanksgiving day and we all know what that means! Leftovers! I enjoy turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, but I’m not one to sit down to meal after meal of leftover turkey, sweet potatoes, and the various other sides. So, I immediately turn the leftovers into other meals if I can. Since today’s Friday Five…

Five things I’m loving this fall
Happy Friday! This week has been, umm, interesting. This was the first Presidential election where one of my kids was old enough to really be interested and invested, even if he isn’t quite old enough to vote. This led to some great conversations and bonding time, but it sure cut into my sleep time. And…
You’ve come a long way, baby!
No, I’m not talking about the election. Yes, I realize this was used as a cigarette slogan that targeted women. But, somehow, it seems to fit. What am I talking about? The Tuesdays on the Run topic, of course! Today we want to know how you’ve change since you started blogging or maybe you’ve stayed…
