Before I get to the creamer shenanigans and other stuff, here’s how the workout week went. I wanna say I’m about 8 weeks out from the Indy Monumental Marathon, the halfway point, I think. You’re right if you guessed I’m sort of winging it and still up in the air as to whether I’ll run [Read More]
Coffee and Driving and Sweating
A new month and (almost) a new season! That means its time to get together with Deb, Coco and you for an Ultimate Coffee Date. If we were having coffee, no doubt I’d be rocking my new Starbucks Dublin mug because…well come on….Dublin! The race reports are here and here in case you missed them. Stay [Read More]
Freakish Friday Faves
Although Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer (sniff) we’re on the brink of a long, holiday weekend, so holla! Do you have any fun plans? Other than nailing a decent long run for marathon training, we’re pretty fluid here. I did run across a few news items though that were too, um….interesting not [Read More]

My Fall Race Calendar
Let’s distract ourselves from the fact that we’re marinating in stifling humidity by talking about fall. Specifically fall races.

Somebody Stop This Humidity Already!
Now that the kids have been in school a full 2 weeks, I’d hoped things would settle into some sort of routine. Um, not so much. Chaos continues to reign. Before I get into that, here’s how my workouts played out: Monday: Yoga Tuesday: Run 6 miles Wednesday: Strength & Core Thursday: 6x800m repeats Friday: Rest [Read More]
Runfessions, Obsessions, It’s All Good
I say it every month, but seriously HOW can we be heading into September already?? Time waits for no one and just like that, it’s time for another edition of the Runfession Friday linkup. Let’s get this party started! I may have become too emotionally attached to my garden, namely my pumpkins. If you’ve ever [Read More]

Fit a #WeirdWorkout Into Your Busy Day and Win!
Special thanks to Prana and Organic Valley for sponsoring this #weirdworkout discussion. It’s a chaotic time of year for many of us. The change of season, less daylight, back to school, etc. can all make getting in our usual workouts a challenge. Remember though, all movement is fair game when it comes to exercise. While [Read More]
On the Fence
This week I officially put myself “on the fence” about this whole fall marathon thing. Blame the heat, travels to Ireland, lackluster training and plenty of distractions and doubts are creeping in. Running the half in Indianapolis would be so much easier. But would I ever forgive myself if I flake? Here’s how my workouts [Read More]
