One Last Week
One week from right now I’ll be riding the infamous bus to Hopkinton. Never in my wildest did I ever imagine I’d be doing that. Never. Funny how life works sometimes. Dare to dream. I am distracted, disorganized, preoccupied, not getting around the blogosphere the way I should so I apologize for that. Since the [Read More]
The Final 10 Days…

Three Things Thursday
Out of the GrooveEver since I returned from spring break, I haven’t gotten back into my blogging ‘groove’. Not sure if it’s taper, nerves, whatever but I feel overwhelmed and distracted.

Three Things Thursday: Spring Break Edition
We are still down in sunny, wonderful FLORIDA on spring break! 1. We gaped at lolled around with the beautiful people (ok some maybe not so beautiful) on Miami’s South Beach the other day. Can I just say Holy THONG-O-RAMA Batman! Here’s what the kids had to say about it: Thing 2: ” Mom that lady [Read More]

Shoenanigans

Minimum: 18 milesGoal: 20 milesStretch Goal: 22 miles The plan was to do 15, circle back to the house, reload fuel, and change shoes (still breaking in the moody Mizuno’s). Other than the fact that it was windy and I was tortoise [Read More]
