While it is not technically summer yet, school is out, the days are long and the mercury is pushing up on 90 degrees here so I’m just going to proceed as if it is. It’s time once again to sit down and catch with Deborah, Coco and you over a hot or iced brew. I’m [Read More]
Weekly Rundown: May That’s Just About a Wrap
Oh May, you were a quick one. So much going on I could barely come up for air. Such exciting weather too. It’s 90. It’s 40. It’s 80. It’s 35. Frost. Gale force winds. Sideways rain. We got it all. Before I get to the rest of the week, here’s how my workouts went. Monday: [Read More]
Runfessions and Russian Roulette
I swear May flew by in a blink. I say that every month but seriously. I think the nicer the weather gets, the faster time flies. That said, it’s time to open up the runfessional, because who doesn’t love starting a new month with a clean slate? Many of you asked about my tooth pain [Read More]
It’s Getting Hot In Here
After puttering around with cool-for-the season weather, Mom Nature flipped that switch and gave us full-on summer heat this week. I’m going to pretend it’s summer, because summer is way too short around here. Here’s how my workouts went. Monday: Walk 4 miles, otherwise rest Tuesday: Walk 4 miles, 30 mins Bootcamp Wednesday: Walk 2 [Read More]
The Week I Didn’t Run
It’s been a week. I did not run. Not one single time. It was one of those weeks where things weren’t quite right from the outset. We managed to get all of our walks in and I did workout a tad before everything went to hell in a handbasket. Before I get to the dirty [Read More]
Mother’s Day and School’s Out for Summer
We are just back from college moveout in Atlanta and I’d be lying if I said I was not wiped out. My actual workouts were sparse, although the travel and moving-related schlepping more than made up for it: Monday: Walk 2 miles, Strength Training Tuesday: Walk 4 miles, Trail Run 4 miles Wednesday: Walk 4 [Read More]
Coffee in the ATL
Can you believe it’s already MAY?? How’d we get almost halfway through the year? Nevertheless it’s time to sit down with Coco, Deborah and YOU to catch up over a cup of something nice. This time around I’m sitting down with a Grande Starbucks Pike with a splash of half & half. We’re in Atlanta [Read More]
Oh Hello May!
Oh hello May! It’s so nice to see you. I’m very much looking forward to some consistently warm temperatures. Is that too much to ask? The last week of April was a changeable one here. Weather was up and down as usual. We tied the record high temperature of 87 one day then saw temps [Read More]
Ultra Runner Cruelty and April Runfessions
Can you believe April is slipping away? I kind of can’t. But it is, and you know what that means. It’s time to open the runfessional. It’s always a good idea to cleanse those souls and soles, am I right? Let’s get started. I understand in the world of running that if you don’t [Read More]
Gluten-Free, Lower-Sugar Banana Bread
It’s spring and all, but with a return of cold, blustery weather, I’ve been baking lately. Banana bread is one of Thing 2’s favorite things and now that she’s finally back to in-person school, I thought a little something fresh from the oven would be a real treat. I was right. This isn’t just any [Read More]
