5 Runfessions for July

5 Runfessions for July

This week has flown by. I sent one kid off to vacation with his grandparents and I've been hanging out (as much as he'll let me) with the older kid. It's hard to believe he starts high school this fall! I've also been attempting to train for the Marine Corps Marathon and simultaneously pull together a Ragnar DC team. Oh, and that little thing I call a job. Add in some nasty hot weather that seems to be melting my brain and I'm super ready for the weekend. Since it's the last Friday of the month, here are my Runfessions. I'm linking up with Marcia as well as the DC Trifecta of Courtney, Mar, and Cynthia.   I don't run outside in the summer to feel bada$$. I run outside because I get tired of running in place. I do, however, … [Read more...]

It’s Friday, so it must be runfession time

It’s Friday, so it must be runfession time

This week? It can kiss my rear. We've had wacky weather - Tuesday I had an hour each way drive in the pouring rain, Wednesday we had crazy thunderstorms, and Thursday the wind was wild. My battery died in my car at Shoo's soccer practice and the dad types were unable to jump it. Thank goodness for our AAA membership and a really nice guy who used their super jump thingy (I know, I'm so technical) to get it running. I sat in the car in our driveway for an hour with the engine running, hoping the car will start in the morning so I can take it to the dealership. So, my runfessions might have a bit more to do with my frustration than running. Running? I haven't been doing a lot of that. In fact, Thursday's 4.5 mile run was my first run … [Read more...]

5 Snowfessions Friday

5 Snowfessions Friday

Towards the middle of the week, I was so tired of the whole Snowzilla thing, that I went outside and shoveled snow that didn't have to be moved. I figured it was better than sitting inside being mad that my street hadn't been plowed. Speaking of not being plowed, by Tuesday I could have gotten out if I'd really wanted to, even though we had not been plowed. Plenty of big 4wd SUVs had gotten out and we live only our yard's length from a main road. I just didn't have any place I needed to be. On Sunday evening when Beer Geek wanted to walk out for dinner, I realized I hadn't showered since either Thursday night or Friday morning. It's probably not a good sign when you can't remember your last shower. When I went for a run on Wednesday, … [Read more...]
