Wow what a weekend! When it comes to excitement, Boston does not disappoint. It was fun, stressful, hard, glorious, all of those things rolled into one. Where do I even start? I flew home late last night–there was a medical emergency onboard–a runnner no less–so we ended up landing a half hour early. That was [Read More]
Boston Update
I made it in to BOSTON yesterday!Frisked at the airport and I didn’t even pack my stick–WTH? Navigated the bus to the train to another train to the hotel in the rain all myself–WOOT! Got interviewed and was on the local TV news–too bad I missed it Other than 1 rude bus driver, I’m being [Read More]
Therapy Thursday
The nerves, butterflies, you name it are beginning to subside as I settle down and get my game face on. I had a winded, leaden (why should today be any different?) final run on the treadmill this morning so, as they say, the proverbial hay is in the barn, as much as I could jam [Read More]
Reminiscing
With you-know-what a mere days away, I’ve been thinking alot about the whole odyssey last year and thought I’d share some pics as well as Dick Beardsley’s course commentary and a few words of my own as my Boston experience played out. If you’ve got nothing but time on your hands, the entire 2009 Boston [Read More]

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…
Our last push to the finish, or the starting line as the case may be, of the 40-day challenge! Who’s still with me?In a way it seems like we’ve been at this a long time but in another way time flies and go-time is virtually here. This challenge really made me more conscious about stringing good [Read More]
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. The fact that Modern Caveman is off at the Masters and I’m single parenting–again–may have something to do with it. But anyway, welcome to [Read More]
Odds and Ends
The AftermathEaster was great. Afterward not so much. PB eggs are probably not the best taper food. Easter grass isn’t the easiest thing to cleanup, especially after slogging running 20 miles. I found this mess in Thing 2’s room. What I failed to capture for posterity was the dogs furiously chewing as many jelly eggs [Read More]
Win Some Chia Seeds!
Last month I espoused the health benefits of Chia seeds and shared a recipe for Whole Grain Chia Pancakes. Since then, Chia seeds have become a daily staple of my diet. I put them in protein shakes, eat them in Greek yogurt with fruit, sprinkle them over salads, bake them into muffins, cookies, you name it. [Read More]
