Yeah, it's February 20. I know. So, some terrible things and some great things have happened since I last blogged. First, the terrible, ...

I had the best run of my life today. I know that sounds crazy; I didn't win a race, didn't earn a medal and nobody even saw me. Plus...

I think I'm going to start bloggin' again! I've missed it far too much, and Facebook just isn't the same. So, I'm clean...

Well, that's a long time to go without blogging, isn't it? I will confess, I quit blogging for two major reasons. The first one? F...

I haven't updated in a while, but a lot has happened in the last week or so! Adam tested and received his camo belt in Taekwondo! Yest...

So.. I had a really bad run on Saturday. It started out OK, but I started feeling nauseous in mile 3, which NEVER happens unless I'm ra...

That would be me, of course. Since I last wrote, DJ started Taekwondo, DJ turned 8, both Adam and DJ started school, and I ran 12.5 miles. ...

I don't like Britney Spears, really. But I will say, a few of her songs are good for running. For example, Piece of Me is good for mil...

I discovered something after running the 10K. It's this: I just got this car magnet from this online store . It makes me feel better a...

Think this martini is big enough for me? I like the "olives" in the bottom. Actually this is our new fish bowl. Petsmart also h...

Well I did it! I ran my first 10K! Here's my detailed race report. I got into Mandan around 7:25 am, and parked my car behind Central ...

You've heard of people who run with the bulls in Pamplona, right? Well, not me! I run with the cows near Hawktree . At least there is...

Heard from my basement full of rowdy boys: "Oh man, I'm gonna need a helmet!" Not really something a mother wants to hear. And...

OTHER than running... haha... there are lots of things happening these days! The boys have started their summer sports, I'll try to get...

Look what I just signed up for! Have I lost my mind? Yes, I do believe I HALF. Because I've now registered for two half marathons, on...

... got the T-shirt. I really just wanted to say that and have it be true! That's my t-shirt, medal, and bib. Well, I went 3.1 miles. ...

As if my Nike+ and Polar F4 weren't quite techie enough, here's what I got for Mother's Day: It's a Garmin Forerunner 205 ...

I think Lance Armstrong has a li'l crush on me. Oh yes, I do. Why, you ask? Because he lovingly told me this morning, "Congratulati...

Another Adam-ism for you. First - look, he's an angel! Adam: Mommy? What if you dropped a grape or a berry on a bug. Would it die? Me...

There's one really good way to get back into the running swing of things that I know of. What's the secret? Signing up for races, ...

Well I did it - this morning I ran my first 5K! It was awesome, and I will definitely be racing again. I wasn't sure about it until toda...

Finally - vacation pics, birthday pics, a Tug pic, and back-to-school pics. Dan has pictures of DJ's first day of school because Bad Ma...
