I’ve been home for a couple of days now and although I had hoped to give you a true trip report, between the house remodel and some new challenges at work, that may need to wait awhile. In the meantime, I thought I’d do a quick overview of what was great this year, what was …
Here we are, Wednesday evening, and I really should be doing something other than blogging but I couldn’t help share my pre-princess panic with all of you!! As you may or may not have gleaned from previous posts, my life is wonderful, full and TOTAL CHAOS. This week has been no different and as I …
No joke, as I type this there is a dangerous fugitive loose in our area. There was also a meteor that hit an area of Russia and injured (at last count) at least 800 people. My three boys are all in different stages of adolescence and are dealing with middle school horror, learning to drive …

Wait, I just confused myself. I’ll be starting my day tomorrow with a quick trip to the radiology place to get a quick look at my …
So, I was off to a great start this week. Strength training and two five mile runs I was pretty proud of. I was sure my long run this weekend was going to be just as spectacular. However, where we ended up brought this verse to mind: Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a …
Whew – OK, that was an odd season running wise. I wasn’t exactly sure how to train for 2 marathons, 3 months apart and although I did OK, I think I was a little lazy with my training in between the two. My body was just kind of done after training all summer and I …
