Yesterday I was taunting mother nature to bring on the snow already. Today we have cold, vicious winds, some (not enough) snow but mostly a hard shallacking of ice. Mom nature I love the snow but I prefer icing on donuts. Sidewalks? Not so much. If I don’t break a hip getting the kids on [Read More]

Life Lessons I Learned By Planking
Those of you who follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram probably know that I’ve been on a quest for the elusive 10-minute plank. Last week that dream was realized. Don’t be fooled. It’s not all sweaty, ripped unicorns and rainbows. Many valuable life lessons were learned and/or reinforced along the way: Most things worth [Read More]
2012 Running Review and a Winner
Seriously time flies by faster and faster. It was not a stellar racing year for me. Not if you gauge success by PRs. However PRs were not among my goals. My goals were to have fun, do more destination races and meet more running friends. Check, check and check! Race Totals: 1 marathon 6 half [Read More]
Parties, Parties and a Winner
This past weekend was the Chicago Running Bloggers holiday meetup. Who knew there were so many bloggers in Chi-town? Not I. We went for a 3 mile run in the wind and rain, then came back to Erin’s place for food and festivities. Wow runners sure can cook. And eat! There was a ‘most festively [Read More]
Reflections on Ageing Up
This is my last post, other than some infernal, er I mean fantastic giveaways, written as a 40 something. Eeeek! Wait, no. Not eek, not really. I’m ok with it. It was coming for a loooong time but wow 50 years sneak up on you. Maybe that’s a good thing. It means I’m living each [Read More]

Cookie Throwdown: The Victor
It’s time for a fuel break from the giveaway madness here at MHS. All giveaways and no yakking make me a dull blogger. If you missed the giveaways, no worries, still time to enter here and here. Plus more to come. Since there are no bakers or cooks in my family lineage, few, if any, family [Read More]
A Handful of Giveaway Fun
I have been a Handful Bra fan since the beginning. They’re super-comfy with removable pads that can be inserted and removed. My days of nipped-out running pictures are over! Not only is this a great running/yoga/gym bra, it’s comfy and cute enough to wear anytime. It flatters instead of flattens, like many sports bras do. [Read More]
T-7 Birthday Giveaway
Before we get down to business, my girl posse and I are honored to be featured on the Fit Pregnancy and Parenting Site. Please head over and give us some love. Go ahead, I’ll wait. It’s my last week before I ‘age-up’ into a new decade (sigh) and, instead of whining, I’m making the best [Read More]
