I read a great post by Julie at 40 Buckets earlier this week where she explained her story about when and why she started running (hint: it involved joining the Marines). I liked it so much, I thought I’d share my story with running. As a child, I was a swimmer, not a runner. I…
This post is a regular, weekly feature by Mr. Huzzah. Who is Mr. Huzzah exactly? Well, he’s my husband and go-to running buddy. A former varsity athlete who went to college and found pizza and beer, he rediscovered his love of working out about 5 years ago. He posts weekly about fitness to give this…
What’s a cherpumple, you ask? Let me explain. Cherpumple is short for CHERry, PUMpkin and apPLE pie. Each pie is baked into a cake. Then, the whole three-layer monstrosity is iced into the ultimate holiday super-cake! (source) No, that is not MY cherpumple. I’ve never even seen one in person, but when my friends told…
Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a nice Thankgiving yesterday! I’m sure many of you are enjoying a relaxing day at home or perhaps are doing a little Black Friday shopping. I am working today. It’s a nice quiet day to catch up on everything. It’s been a busy week. Here’s what you may have…
Our day started at 6am with the alarm. We got the dogs fed and walked, and were out the door at 7:05am. A quick stop at 7-11 for some coffee, and we made it down to the race around 7:30. The race start was at 8:30am, but we learned from last year to get there…
I’m embarassed to say that I’ve been battling self pity the past few days. I’ve been angry that a minor bug derailed my training plans. Why did I have to get sick NOW? Why didn’t I push myself harder before the illness struck? Why have I regularly given in to all the treats of the…
It really made my day this morning when Mike from Just A Little Run tagged me in a game where you share 7 random things about yourself. As many of you know, I’ve been a bit under the weather the past few days and am totally bummed about it. Mike’s game got me at the…
Runners hate missing a workout, especially when training for a race. Sometimes it is possible to go for an easy run and feel better, but not always. Sometimes it’s really critical to listen to your body and take a couple unplanned rest days. Running when you shouldn’t can make your more sick and increase the…
Greetings! This post is late this morning due to a late night involving a cancelled flight. I don’t know how frequent business travellers do it! Here’s this week’s Friday 5 of things I’m loving/grateful for right now. (source) 1. My Bed. I got home at close to 11pm last night, and have never been more…
Good morning! Is anyone else having a very busy week, too? Yikes! This evening I am hopping on a flight to Chicago for a conference. I’ll be in the windy city for about 24 hours, just long enough to do a couple of my favorite things — like meet my cousin for coffee and run…
