The Rundown – In (Mostly) Pictures
I don't have time to write and you don't have time to read so let's just do this! WEEK OF DECEMBER 7, 2015 RUNNING This was not a great week for my most beloved of sports. I think I'm just over tired and cranky. This too shall pass. I ended up only running 20 miles...
High Five Friday – 99 Problems
Everything is going to be ok. I have solutions to the problems! Most of them involve eating, drinking and resting. Let's get started! As you may know, I'm handing out high fives for Friday again with one of my best bitches - Angela of Happy Fit Mama. She's got 99...
LYTE Up Your Running Life with EnduroPacks #Giveaway
As a mom to six year-old twins who are beginner readers, it pains me to spell words like the one in my title incorrectly. In fact, I don't hide my frustration when the kids are reading something (which is everything these days!) and they don't know the word "night"...
The Rundown – Calm Before the Storm
There was a certain calmness to my first week in December. I'm still high on memories from a great Thanksgiving holiday, my workouts are on my terms with no race goal in the near future, the weather has yet to turn brutally cold and school for the kids is lulling in...

The Rundown – Love/Hate Relationships
We all have them. Within ourselves, with others, with our everyday interactions, and possibly with inanimate objects. I had more then my share last week when my wisdom teeth were removed on Tuesday, started holiday shopping on Thursday (because my fitness was held to...
High-Five Friday! My Teeth Are Gone…and 4 Other Things
At the ripe old age of 40, I have accomplished yet another first - the removal of my wisdom teeth! Of course my oral surgeon had to ask, when we first met for my assessment, "So, how young are you?" and when told him, he responded with "you know, most people get these...
What Type of Runner Are You?
Have you ever stopped to think about where your focus (or lack of focus) is during a run? How about a race? Do you listen to music? A podcast? The birds? I know, of course, what I think about and why but, yet another revelation when reading The Runner's Brain, had me...
