Real Meals

I was the snack queen today.  Queen o’ snacking.  Hummus and crackers; a popsicle; a spoonful of peanut butter; a handful of nuts.  I practically snacked away my lunch appetite (but it returned around 3:00 with a vengeance).  Finally, I focused and make two delicious real meals.  As much as I love to snack, sit-down [...]

Traveling for Races

I mentioned a few weeks back that I’m beginning to build an imaginary race calendar for the fall – it’s pretty realistic but still imaginary because who knows how much running I’ll do with a young baby!  But it’s still fun to envision doing this or that race, to dream about tackling a new course, [...]

FAQ Monday + a Name Your 5K Giveaway

Happy Monday! I wish I had an overhead shot of my bed this morning.  The Husband and I were sleeping head-to-toe (because of this problem), James and I were spooning but he was upside down so I was snuggled up to his tail, and Maggie was jammed in between the Husband’s legs (how does she [...]

Pull It Back

So proud of DadHTP – also known as my swimming buddy extraordinaire – and I for making it to the pool today.  Reward popsicles for everyone! In all seriousness, we did actually high-five each other at the pool.  I don’t think either of us believed we’d actually make it.  I’ve been exhausted; he’s been exhausted.  [...]

What Constitutes a Long Run?

Breakfast time! Happy Sunday.  What have you got planned?  The Husband is mowing the lawn, I tidied the house, and then we’re going to lunch with friends.  I hope to squeeze in a swim at some point.  We’ll see.   Cereal + yogurt: We bought some puffed millet to make Anne P’s peanut butter bars; [...]

Say Cheese

Let’s talk about cheese.  A few years ago, the Husband and I went to this amazing outdoor wine festival.  We paid $20 for an all-you-can-taste spree of yummy reds and whites.  We ended up shutting the festival down, and the women running the Cabot cheese booth gave us two HUGE two-pound blocks of the most [...]

Sleepy Stupor

I would invite you over for breakfast but it appears that all the seats on the patio are taken… Hey, hey.  It’s a normal Saturday over here.  These days, a normal Saturday includes a total hormonal meltdown in bed at 7:00 AM because my damn pregnancy-induced insomnia and generally physical uncomfortable-ness kept me up all [...]

Pop Up

There are many advantages to being married to a British man.  He has a cool accent.  He says funny things like, “Please pop the bonnet of the car” and “Do you want to go on holiday this summer?”  You always have a good excuse to visit London.  Real football only lasts 90 minutes, not four [...]
