I went to the Big Dam Bridge to run this afternoon. I challenged myself to run across the entire bridge (including the up ramp). Once I got to the other side, I challenged myself to run to the next quarter mile marker. When I made it to that marker, I challenged myself to make it […]
Okay this is not a picture from the Obama inauguration, it’s Legoland‘s depiction of the event. How COOL is that! For the rest of the pictures try HERE. (and hey this post is still about running, just not the athletic kind*snicker*) Can I just add that when I was a kid building a lego house was […]

On my feet! So, here’s the thing, I have been told by one million billion several local runners that THE ONLY place to go for running shoes is Gary Smith’s Easy Runner. Now, you may not know this about me, but I’m not easily intimidated. Sure, sometimes I flounder on my inside parts if I […]
Jodie read this article and was kind enough to share. Some great tips here.

First of all a big shout out to CK for shouldering all the blogging this last week. It’s been a rough week. I’m under heavy deadline stress, have this new p/t job taking up 3 of my days during the week and last week, I hurt my foot. It’s a stress fracture and it hurts […]

Okay I haven’t been running but I have been walking. (yay) I promise to give you the whole week’s update tomorrow but in the meantime I’ll leave you with a picture I took while on a walk. It seriously looks fake doesn’t it!
I think I’ve mentioned about 1000 times that I’m cheap and thrifty so I’m always on the lookout for free stuff, refunds, etc. Today on the news, they announced a Cosmetic Class Action Lawsuit where they are giving $175 Million Worth of Free Cosmetics away. And you know what? I’m betting most of us apply. […]
I received a gift today from my drycleaner. I use the term “my” loosely because I only wear dry clean only clothes when I absolutely have to (rarely) and then drag my feet for ages before actually dropping them at the cleaners. Apparently the drycleaner decided this was not a year to hold grudges and gave […]
Dear Blogland, Today was one of the best winter days I’ve had in…years! Thank goodness because it could have gone the other way for sure. My sister decided at 8pm last night that today was the day we were going skiing/snowboarding. (She boards, I ski). Fortunately, my schedule allowed it which was fantastic because: 1) […]
