Bradley and I ran 3.4 miles today like it ain’t no thang. On this run I told Bradley that it was only a little over six months ago that I started running. He stared at me like I’m crazy for a second and tried to argue that we started a year ago. But it was … [Read more…]
Today we found a coupon in our inbox to OCB so we went to a buffet for breakfast. A buffet. We ate more than our fair share, I’m sure, but I did pretty well this time. Lots of fruit, a salad even. There were also eggs and potatoes of course, but I didn’t go nuts. … [Read more…]
{derpy run face of the day} Yesterday I sat, looking at my iPad wondering where my active thinking is. What should I write for my blog? I always have a bajillion things I’m anxious to put out into the ether. My mind whirs constantly, processing my feelings about weightloss, information about nutrition, finding out more … [Read more…]
Today I borrowed one of Bradley’s sweaters to wear to the kids’ curriculum night. As if that isn’t enough that it actually fit, my husband’s (who can easily fit a child’s size xl) sweater was too big. TOO BIG! I couldn’t resist talking on and on about how I was wearing my husbands sweater so … [Read more…]
We ran today. And today, running was like poetry. I know, I sound like such a tool, extolling on the wonders and marvels of running, but I seriously love it. We started out thinking we would just do a quick mile and a half, but by the time we got to the turn Bradley looked … [Read more…]

Today I measured my 201st mile since I started tracking my mileage! It is so impressive to me that I’ve run well over 200 miles since March!*. Who would have thought I’d be talking about having run over 200 miles in six months? Not me, for sure. (pats self on back then gets down from … [Read more…]
I’m tired-out so I’m keeping it short and sweet tonight. 🙂 Today was day one of the 180 or so days I get to teach this year. I’m hopeful about the group of kids I met today. They seem sweet, well intended and kind. Kindness goes a long way with me. Kids can be squirrels, … [Read more…]
Looking forward to September has me shaking in my boots a little bit. I have faith that within the new school year will also be time to run, work out, lift weights and all that. I know it’s possible because I did it last spring, but new beginnings can throw me for a loop. I … [Read more…]
For our last big summer day we headed up to Little Si for a hike. It was a pretty intense hike (I like intense). The elevation was fine, it was the super rough terrain. I felt like I was marching the whole time, lifting my legs reeeallly high in the air over and over and … [Read more…]
