TOTR: Staying hydrated on the run
Hydrating on the run is an extremely important part of running, especially when it’s warm out, but lots of runners choose to drink very little while running. That’s why Patty, April and I chose hydration as our Tuesdays on the Run topic. I’ve learned the hard way that I need liquid on any run over…
Be ready for anything summer throws at you
Summer is a lazy time for us. Or more specifically, for my kids. They don’t wake up early. Pajamas make up a large percentage of their wardrobe choices. Not every week includes a camp. Etc. (We aren’t going to talk about the fact that I’m up and out the door running early every morning when…
Keep your kids healthy and safe this summer #ReadySetCamp
Disclaimer: I received promotional consideration from Minute Clinic to discuss keeping kids healthy at camp, but all opinions are my own. School’s out for the summer!!! Finally. Finally we made it through the last few days of school. (OK, we aren’t completely there, but Jones is done and Shoo has a short day today.) Now it’s…
Running sucks

Isn’t that the way?
The heat here lately has been sucking all of my motivation to run long or run fast. I’ve been all about the short runs at a 10+ minute pace. Knowing today was going to be 78 degrees at 6:30 am and 80 degrees at 8:00 am, I wasn’t particularly motivated to get up and out…
I am SO over summer (even though I’ve found more shorts)
Today was another hot and humid day here in the south. When the boys and I met up with friends for a walk to the playground at 8:30am this morning, it was already uncomfortable. We walked to the playground, hung out there for a while, walked to Whole Foods and Barnes and Noble (Jones has…
