With high winds battering Salt Lake City the day we were scheduled to depart, we didn't make it home as scheduled. We missed our connection and with no later flights, and were stuck overnight in Chicago. So a little nod to Wendy @ Takingthelongwayhome in the subject (I could've gone with there's no place like … Continue reading Taking the long way home: 6/2- 18 Weekly Wrap

Oy! The Outfit Decision: 5/22-28 Weekly Wrap
You would think after several years of running it would be easy to decide on a running outfit, right? Wrong! Why is the running clothes decision always so damn hard? I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; and whoever our guest host might be this week. Because the more the … Continue reading Oy!

A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
If you're hungry, if you're trying to drop a few pounds (like I am, actually), you might want to skip over the favorites this week. You've been warned: it's drool worthy! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; our hosts may be battling hot, humid weather in the south … Continue reading A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Seriously, apparently I can't count. I wanted to move my long runs from Sunday to Saturday -- my next half is a Saturday -- and it never occurred to me that I'd have two long runs in one week -- according to the calendar Rachel @ Runningonhappy uses, which runs Sunday through Saturday. Although since … Continue reading Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I was up to running this week, unlike after my NOLA half -- still really tired. Not sure why. Travel? Lack of sun? I also suffered a complete lack of motivation for any sort of strength training, and that definitely needs to change next week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and … Continue reading At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
When you choose to do all your halfs as racecations, it's always a busy week before your race. I'm typing this at the beginning of the week, before most of what I'm writing about even happened, but if there's one thing I know for sure this week, it's gonna be busy. I'm joining up with the … Continue reading Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
That's what training is: beta testing. Do these clothes feel good (and don't chafe)? Does that fuel sit well in my stomach? How should I carry my water? NOLA was easy to pack for, but this race is much trickier, and while I'm trying not to check a bag because we'll be there less than … Continue reading Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
This week went down a lot like my last couple of weeks: nothing great, nothing terrible. Running was hard this week. Some weeks are just like that. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? A lot of my friends were racing this weekend, but I couldn't. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
