Continue reading →: Fitting It All In
Now that I’m back running, AND still wanting to keep up my weight lifting, I’ve come to a dilemma – how do I fit it all in? AND fit it all in before 6 a.m. when my day with the kiddos starts? This week, I tried to fit it in.…

I’m now at week five of having a broken toe, and I’m starting to get back out there to run. I’m starting slow and short, since my toe still doesn’t feel 100% normal, but I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel, so maybe not normal is normal? Sunday started…

I love, love, LOVE white chocolate pretzels. My mom’s cousin (my Aunt Alice) used to make them growing up and it was a treat to get a tin of those during the holidays. Hers weren’t only delicious, but they looked great, too! She made chocolate-covered pretzels also, and while I…

If this were any other year, this would be a post about my wonderful September running update. I would talk about the fall season (best running season!), getting in some good races (Akron?) and total mileage. Alas, I had zero miles of running in September. The last time I had a…

Another week down and another week with a broken toe and no running. Especially now that FALL is here (the best running season), it’s been a struggle for me mentally. I realize how much I rely on running to keep me sane, but I’m grateful to have other ways of…

So let me start off by saying – no, I didn’t break another bone. My toe is the only thing broken on me. Instead, this week started off with my 6-year-old breaking her wrist! My poor girl was on the monkey bars, fell and landed poorly. She was crying and…

Continue reading →: Workin On My Weights
Another week with no running. Another week in the boot. The good news is that (I think?) my toe is starting to hurt a little less, so I’ve been doing more and more walking with the boot on each day. I am hoping that this is okay for my recovery,…

Continue reading →: Broken Toe
The headline of the blog post gives the prognosis of my toe injury away, huh? That’s right, I found out this week that my toe is indeed broken. I’m to not run at all, and also have to wear a special shoe to protect my toe. All of this from…

This week wrapped up our first full week of school! Is it safe to say that we’re almost in the swing of things? Thankfully, not all of our after-school activities have started (they save some of those for after Labor Day), so we have been able to get into the…
