May 5, 2013

So, I leave tomorrow for the Netherlands and I’m so excited!!!  I can’t wait to see Amsterdam – it looks so gorgeous.

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 […]
