Thanks to my home girl Erica over at Erica Finds for tagging me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these so here goes: 1. I’ve lived in 3 countries: Great Britain, Belgium and right here in the Chi-town boonies of course. The Caveman and I moved to [Read More]
July? It’s a Wrap

Books: Ha! None. Can’t even keep up with my Runner’s World mags. Running Path: I’ve been back on a route I save specifically for marathon training. It’s mostly roads/path but there’s a bit of trail too. Non-Running Workout: I’m kind of all over the place with cross-training but let’s say swimming, now that I’m officially [Read More]
Weekend Rewind: Strength Showdown Edition
I think I’ve become a hurricane magnet as well as a heat magnet because I survived my third hurricane this weekend as Arthur swept up the coast while we celebrated the Caveman’s milestone birthday in North Carolina. Possibly more impressive, I survived Hurricane MIL. No easy feat. Here are some highlights: Bench Press Showdown. Let’s [Read More]
June by Number
June was a lull before the (NYC marathon training) storm. Actually there was so much going on with the kids and end of school, ice shows/competitions, birthdays, travel and the like that putting running on the back burner was pretty perfect. I kept true to my word and kept June a Racebattical month. Miles Run: [Read More]
#Sunsational Summer Entertaining
June and July are big party months here at Casa del Marcia. Everyone in the house has a summer birthday except yours truly, which leaves me with a bit of party planning on my hands. No worries though, because I love entertaining. Over the years, I’ve learned to make it easier and easier on myself. [Read More]
Fun with Airia One
Hump Day! I’m halfway thru my stint of single parenting one child as the Caveman is off on business and Thing 1 is away with her grandparents. Not getting outside to run/bike or to the gym hasn’t been the greatest but, truth be told, it’s pretty steamy here this week and the mill is a [Read More]

Hump Day Randoms and a Winner
Ice Shows. Ice show weekend is in the books for another year. They were exhausting and spectacular at the same time. The girls did amazing. Thing 1 is at the age where she’s learning to manage her nerves while Thing 2 is still quite unaffected by the whole thing. Now on to competition this weekend. Even [Read More]
Exercising with Your Dog and a Giveaway #lightandhealthy
Runners with dogs know how great it is to run with a canine counterpart. When our dogs were younger, the vet told us that even though they’re not considered a “running breed”, Bichons could be trained to run up to five miles. Well Carlo pretty much doesn’t run unless he’s chasing a squirrel… …but Remy [Read More]
