I am jealous beyond words. And VERY proud of two of my long-distance running buddies, Shelly and Kari. See, neither of these amazing women is particularly fond of running in the cold, icky, slushy weather. I’m fond of it, mind you. But them? Not so much. Photo Credit So today, while Shelly was on the [...]

Image Credit Hurray! As of Monday, I’ve officially traversed over 500 miles while training for various races! I’ve gone from being a complete couch-potato to a Mom-Who-Runs. And I’m so grateful to the people who have encouraged, guided, coached, prodded, and tricked me into and along this journey! NEVER would I have imagined at the [...]

Poor HH. He tries. He really does. Thanksgiving is a Very Challenging Day for someone trying to lose weight. And for me, it was my third day on Weight Watchers. It was also a day I elected to go on a 10-mile run in the morning. My master plan was to earn enough Activity Points [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! Image Credit I am planning on celebrating this holiday in the same way I celebrate everything special these days: by going for a run! I have a 10-miler scheduled for this weekend, so since I have no intention of hauling this body through the fine streets of our little community while full of [...]

If you’re not from around these parts, you’re probably wondering, “What in the world is a Kennekuk?” Excellent question. Here is my answer. “Kennekuk” is several different, very awesome things. Most widely understood, it’s one of our local county parks that is absolutely amazing. If you’re a nature person or a trail person or a enjoy-the-peace-and-serenity-of-the-prairie person, [...]

Photo Credit Yay Ami! My friend Ami got a PR in the Monumental Half Marathon this weekend! What makes this special (besides the fact that it’s not really normal for human beings to force their bodies to run for 13.1 miles unless something is chasing them)? It’s special because AMI is special. She’s special (in addition [...]
