Teenager Mileage Equivalents (Or, How many miles can you add just because you have a teenager?)

April 23, 2013

So, my planned 8 hour run on Saturday turned into a 5.5 hour run when I got a frantic call from Son 1 that he’d been in an car accident. The phone call you never want to get. Except, in this scenario, at least it was his voice on the other end so I knew [...]

How to Fuel for a Dance Moms Marathon (Or an 8 Hour Long Run)

April 19, 2013

As I sit in my bed eating Cocoa Puffs after a 10 miler, I once again am resisting the urge to googlestalk healthy recipes out of guilt. There are so many sites and blogs with fantastic healthy recipes that you could spend all day just clicking away – and then all night feeling bad about [...]

Whenever I Think I Might Be A Badass…

April 18, 2013

  Me trying to strike a badass trail pose. I fell flat about 45 seconds later. Every now and then I forget that I’m a runner and try to behave like a badass – or at the very least, a normal person. Mistake. The results of this brief lapse are usually painful or embarrassing – [...]

The Privilege of Living. And Running.

April 16, 2013

I don’t even know what to say this morning. At this time yesterday, I was so inspired after watching the elites run the Boston Marathon while I trudged along on my treadmill. Then, just a few hours later, I started seeing e-mails on the Ultralist about explosions. What? I couldn’t quite piece together what they [...]

35 Miles, No Richard Marx, No Crying = Success

April 15, 2013

Because I lack any sort of technological savvy, when my WordPress account was inaccessible on Thursday, I did what any other techno goob would do – I shut my computer and went out to lunch. When it didn’t magically resolve itself in the middle of the night (that’s how it works, right?), I had to [...]

I Am Officially a Member of the Stalkerazzi (Even If It Only Involved A Chicken)

April 10, 2013

So, yesterday, I gave you a short list of some of my “stalkees” – people I’m obsessively following right now. But, this morning, while running, I realized I left one of my most important victims off the list – The Bloggess. And the thing that prodded my memory was this: Yes, that is a big, [...]

Spring Stalking Trends (Or, Who You Should Be Obsessed With Right Now)

April 9, 2013

I haven’t posted about any of my stalking victims subjects recently because, well, I started getting a little nervous. Not about what the people would think (personally, I love it when someone is googlestalking me), but rather that I’d end up on some “list” somewhere, where people in dark suits with white shirts and skinny [...]

20 Miler Real Housewives Style (Or, How Andy Cohen Is Now My Own Personal Running Reality Host)

April 8, 2013

So if this was a cool runner’s blog, I would tell you about all the awesome runs/adventures I had over the weekend. But since I’m basically a looped course runner who occasionally ventures out onto a trail and usually ends up on the ground, crying, or adjusting someone’s moobs without permission, I can only share [...]

Why Crazy People Pee A Lot (And Watch Dance Moms Marathons)

April 5, 2013

Conversation in my head this morning: Why are you awake? Go back to sleep. I can’t! Yes, you can! This is your only day to sleep in. Now, sleep! (Lie there for 20 minutes. Check phone twice just in case important e-mails, updates on my favorite Top Chef contestants, or news of an earthquake drop [...]

An Egg is an Egg (Or, why people with no imagination will need therapy)

April 4, 2013

Conversation at 8:00 this morning: Son 2: MOM! Me: What? Son 2: You ate all my Reese’s eggs! Me: No I didn’t. Son 2: Well, the bag is totally empty. Me: I just ate a few. Son 2: Well, I only ate 3. And there were like 20 in the bag. Me: So I had a [...]
