Year of Running 2013
I cannot resist the call from Miss Zippy any longer! Who can? I'm giving into temptation and linking up to her running recap. After all, this has been one of my very best years of racing and running and I'm always humbled by, despite moving farther and farther into...
Is There Any Good Reason for Me to Join Pinterest?
Let's face it, I'd rather D.I.E then D.I.Y. I've never met a craft I liked, my kid's birthday parties look like kid's birthday parties - not toddlers and tiaras and if I tried to make my own jewelry I'm pretty sure someone would get stabbed. I don't think I own glue...
My Husband’s First 5K!
It has been 10 years in the making but my husband finally ran his very first race! It was actually 3.5 miles and, if you're a runner, you know it's those .5 miles that make all the difference. He decided to do it almost on a whim (and I may have dropped a few hints)...
How To Survive the Elements & 20% Off…
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will keep this runner from getting her miles in! I swear sometimes I feel like it's my mission in life to get out for a run. I'm a self-described running addict who will stop at almost nothing to go the distance....
Running Video – Hill Repeats!
Who's afraid of the big bad hills? Not me and I'm here to tell you, you don't have to be either. Where I live, I have no choice but to run hills…lots of them. My house is literally on a mountain. I'm not exaggerating as you will see in the video below. Since I...
My 20 Year High School Reunion – What I Least Expected
My 20 year high school reunion was off the charts amazing! I was surprised to see so many people I hadn't in years. The food was a spread fit for even the pickiest eaters with something for everyone and the DJ had us dancing until they turned on the lights and made...
‘Twas the Night Before A Bloggy Thanksgiving
This post is a shout out to some of my favorite bloggers. If you haven't read them before, now is the time! I'm truly thankful for having met them, for their words, friendship and support. Here's my way of saying thanks... 'Twas the night before Thanksgiving and...
Thankful For What I’m Not
Yes it's almost Thanksgiving and everyone is out on social media being thankful for health and family and DIY turkey centerpieces. I too am thankful for all of those things (maybe not the DIY turkey) especially when I'm celebrating yet another Thanksgiving without my...
The Time I Was Fired From My Dream Job – Guest Posting at The ValentineRD
Before we get to what I thought was a colossal failure for me, let's talk about an amazing winner - Melissa Burton! I know when you guest post it's a given that you're going to gush about the person you're posting for but truly people, Melissa is amazing. She was...
Allie’s Arms – The Trifecta
I want to start by saying that I'm completely flattered to have so many requests to do an "arm" workout post. I eat up every single compliment I get on my arms and when I had my feature day on Another Mother Runner I think I got more "How can I get your arms?" then...
