Ready, set, go. How’s your Sunday?  Ours is going well – slowly but surely.  We’ve got a work meeting, but otherwise, the day is ours.  I think a run and baby proofing are on the agenda…   Last night, I made a huge batch of pancakes for dinner, and it was so tasty, that I [...]

I declare this weekend “Run a New Trail” weekend. I am definitely a runner of habit.  I love to do the same course, over and over again, and it takes me about two months longer to get bored than most.  I actually LIKE knowing what’s next.  But I think I’ve reached my personal limit with [...]

I had plans to run Charlotte’s famous Thunder Road race this morning, but I woke up to the sounds of a sick baby on the monitor.  Instead of pulling on my sneakers, I headed upstairs to give Henry lots of cuddles and kisses – this is his first cold.  Poor buddy.  He seemed sleep deprived [...]

Some of us are crawling (almost)… Some of us are running.    I had a lovely run this morning.  I did 4.5 miles, about 0.5 mile longer than my goal per my training plan.  This week hasn’t been so great in terms of my training… I really did emotionally re-commit last week, but the past [...]

Good morning. Same old breakfast, different day.  Still tasty though. Eggs, Soy Chorizo (from Trader Joe’s), tomatoes, and fried polenta.  Yum.  Oh, and a huge cup of the TJ’s Christmas blend coffee. Run, Run, Run   Guess who is Women’s Running magazine’s new Blogger on the Run?  Meeeeee.  Check out the post, in which I [...]

Errands, errands, everywhere.  What an intense day of errands!  I felt like I was playing catch-up after our crazy-busy weekend and my work trip.    Errand number one consisted of high-tailing it to the new clinic for our professional photographs – gotta keep the website current!  Our friend, Sean Busher (who does amazing photography!), took [...]

It’s a one-handed OMGcoffee kind of morning. Eventually, I wised up and made it a babywearing kind of morning.  I guess Henry really did miss me when I went away on my business trip – he wouldn’t let me put him down this morning!  Not that I minded – I didn’t want to put him [...]

When I left Charlotte, it was raining.  When I touched down in Denver, it was sunny but crisp. And when I landed in Spokane, it was SNOWY. Thank goodness I actually checked the weather and packed a jacket (how many of these trips have I gone on and NOT packed a jacket?!).   My journey [...]

Whoa.  I feel like my life is going a million miles an hour.   Actually, right now, I’m literally traveling 550 miles per hour (or so) and 30,000 feet in the air.  Yup – I’m back on the road again for an Operation Beautiful speaking event.  I do about 15 or 20 events a year [...]

Today is (most likely) going to be a rest day.  Wahoo!  I’m a week into ‘official’ half marathon training and feeling so great about things.  I’m really, really looking forward to the race, which I think the Husband and I are going to turn into an excuse to go on vacation (it’s in Florida).  Double [...]

Happy Five Months, Henry! A comparison to when he was just five days old… Time flies when you’re having fun… and buried in poopy diapers… and sleep deprived… and your house is covered in plastic toys… and you’re busy blowing raspberries on a squishy belly.  <3  Really and truly – where does the time go?! [...]

It’s that time of year again – Girls on the Run 5k time!  If you are not yet aware of this AMAZING organization, GOTR is a character development after-school program for elementary and middle school girls that encourages a positive self-esteem through running.  At the end of the 12-week ‘season,’ the girls run a community [...]

So many toys.  So little time. The adults’ mantra is currently, “So many boxes.  So little time.”  Day 1 and 2 of Operation Move the Clinic are complete.  That means that everything is out of the old office and into the new one.  It actually wasn’t too bad of an experience.  I don’t think there [...]
