I had my annual physical last Friday. Besides the doc running a smidge late, all was going well and I’d survived my stint in the nasty gown when the EKG tech wheeled in her machine. Shortly after the electrodes were removed my doc was back. I expected her to send me on my merry way [Read More]
A New Addition! It’s a…
“Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Health and Fitness Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.” My excitement and anticipation peaked as the day arrived for the latest device from the Verizon Voices Program to be delivered.

July Highlight Reel
August? Noooo wait! Summer’s going too fast! This time of year I always feel a pang of sadness. Even now that I haven’t been in school for eons and I love me some fall, I still get a sense of ‘ending’. As if summer is the ‘recess’ of the year and it’s nearing time to [Read More]
Loving, Not Loving
Loving: Our runner-friendly cooler weather. Not Loving: This is supposed to be summer. Not late October. Give me some pool-worthy heat! Loving: My new washer and dryer. Did not fully realize how inadequate my 15-year old relics were until I got a taste of these. Not loving: Just days after the new washer and dryer [Read More]
Field Trip Fun
Day-to-day, I’m mostly I’m up to my eyeballs, cleaning up dog poop, shuttling kids to playdates, hanging at the pool, weeding the garden and various other domestic engineering duties of questionable glamour.

Leadville Silver Rush 50
I was honored to be part of Jill’s crew for the Leadville Silver Rush 50 miler. For those of you just joining us, Jill and I go way back. We’re blog cronies since the beginning of time and we first met in Boston 2010. She was nursing a foot injury, I was barely back from [Read More]
My #FavoriteRun
Today I’m linking up with Amanda, aka MissZippy and sharing what may be my favorite run. It starts at sunrise by stepping out my front door. I super love when I don’t need to drive somewhere to run. This run is an 8 mile out and back along quiet country roads. Join me? We’re on [Read More]
RSVP = Dinosaur?
As you know if you read yesterday, our kids’ birthday party was this past weekend. Despite dicey weather it all turned out well in the end and fun was had by all. But the current state of RSVP confounds me: Did I miss the memo that said responding to an invitation has gone the way [Read More]
June Review: Plan B and a Giveaway
Everything about this month seemed to be about moving to Plan B. My jerk shoulder continued to be a jerk. School and ice show madness came to a welcome end. Thing 1 went away for the longest 2 weeks of my life. I was on again/off again and ultimately in for a steamy Chicago Women’s [Read More]
