After the race in Alabama, I decided that taking the early start in Georgia made sense. Beer Geek could drop me off and go back…

It’s been a long time since I got serious about a training plan and even longer since I prioritized my running goals. From work to kids to Covid, I kept finding excuses to not actually put in the training. I did a decent job of training for the MCM 50k in 2019, but that was…
This month has both been about a million years long AND flown by at the same time. I really meant to write more often this month (and actually wrote some posts in my head, which I had not done in a long time), but I never seemed to find time to write. But I have…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 2 years since Covid became a virus “of interest”. It was a few more weeks before we started hearing about it and a little over two months before the US shutdown, but the growth had already begun. 2020 went from a year with amazing plans to a year…

I can’t believe we are nearing the end of July. I feel like all I’ve been doing is running, drinking beer, and taking my kids places. Jones and I are currently on another college trip – this time to Ohio. In four days we are hitting four colleges, 2 zoos, an aquarium, and an aviary….
Temperature wise, we are in full on summer. This week has been in the high 80s/low 90s all week, sometimes with matching humidity.`Welcome to Virginia in the summer! But mentally, we are barely there. School just ended last week. This week Jones has been in a full time training for the work he’ll be doing…

Since Marcia opened the Runfessional late and Deb and Coco are hosting the Ultimate Coffee Date, I’ve decided to combine the fun into one post. If we were having coffee, I’d runfess that I meant to write this post days ago, but life kept getting in the way. In fact, it took me all day…
