There was one of those Facebook posts going around not too long ago that said something like this; “Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha.” (I later found out the quote is attributed to author Robert Brault) And at the timeContinue reading “Cha-Cha-Cha”

Shut Up and Run
I finally got out for a run. I have been here, in Birmingham UK (3000+ miles from home) for 5 days now and after a whole lot of pep- talking (me to myself) I did it and it was glorious. I had been thinking about getting out there A LOT- but was having all theContinue reading “Shut Up and Run”
Not waving but drowning…
I really think I need a different hobby… This running thing is KILLING me, which is kind of strange since I have been running very little lately. I’ve been THINKING about running a great deal and driving myself insane… I need to figure out this IT band thing, and I need to figure out aContinue reading “Not waving but drowning…”

Things that are working/Things that aren’t
I’m back baby!! In the past 2 weeks I have gotten into a bit of a training groove. It hasn’t been all rosy 100% of the time- it is a process- I’m taking it day by day- but I’m happy to report that I had a “4 runs” week and then a “3 runs” weekContinue reading “Things that are working/Things that aren’t”

I miss running. I miss running a lot. Lately as I been driving like a crazy woman to work and back, picking up and dropping off children, I will pass places that I used to run when I was training for the marathon. It is the “far away” places that get to me the most.Continue reading “Run-iversary”
The Slump
It’s official, I’m calling it, I am in a running slump… although it’s unclear as to whether I ever really hit my stride or got into any real groove after the marathon (2 months ago now- ooooo I’d hadn’t really thought about it being 2 months- a long time non?) I have just not beenContinue reading “The Slump”
Are We There yet?
Next time I tell you that I’m looking forward to spending 4 days in a hotel room with 6 kids slap me ‘k? No, really, I joke, a lovely time was had by all for the most part, except for the first night when I sliced open my hand on a wine glass thatContinue reading “Are We There yet?”
By George I think she’s got it…
I just figured out how to insert a link… it was super easy and took me 5 minutes max. yet I kept putting off figuring it out because I thought it would be complicated. Silly.
Lawn Karama
I took a different route on my run yesterday- I had to walk #3 to his soccer game so I decided to just continue on from there and check out a little pocket of my neighbourhood that I don’t often see- about 10 minutes in I pass by a house with a push mower outContinue reading “Lawn Karama”
