Friends, it’s been a tough week, there’s no getting around it. Since last weekend when I sat here chatting about Dumbo Double Dare training, we’ve had my sweet mom-in-law checked out of in patient rehab after a broken hip and got her set up at home and had our youngest undergo minor out-patient surgery (which …
I am writing this while the anxiety is actually happening and I feel like that will help everyone to know I’m not saying this about somebody else, writing from an inauthentic place, or regurgitating info I read in Runner’s World. One of my twins is going in for relatively minor, out-patient surgery tomorrow. But my …
There’s a moment right before every Run Disney event where I get REALLY pumped. It’s that moment when we know we are finally getting close, it’s really happening and (for some of us) it’s a reminder to get our backsides in gear and get those miles in!! (and I hope you all got my gentle …

So this morning I ran day 19 of the 30 days of 5K’s challenge. That I gave myself. That I’m doing with no one. And for no particular reason other than seeing if I could. I have honestly hesitated to post because I figure if it went horribly wrong (or I got really hurt or …
After the devastation in Moore, OK, yesterday, I’ve had it with death and dying. There’s just been so many major events in the last few months – really if you go all the way back to Sandy Hook Elementary. Then we had Boston. And West, TX. And the tornado in Granbury, TX, just last week. …
