Well well well, the holidays are coming to a close. Jason and I went to Fort Wayne, IN for the holidays and hung out with his brothers, parents and tons of neices including the newest addition to the family, Caeli. We have not seen Jason’s oldest brother Andy and his wife Lysa (pronouned Lisa) (Parents [...]

Yesterday brought a busy day full of finding camera battery chargers, getting an eyebrow wax, getting a hair cut (see pic on right for cuteness factor of a million), and then of course…making the cookies. I have 8 types of cookies that I want to make for the year and last night I was [...]

Yesterday was the first Lactate Threshold run of the training cycle. In my opinion these are by far the hardest runs on the schedule. I get nervous and have a slight stomach ache the day we are doing them, similar to if it was a race day. During the summer, I think we ended up [...]

Egg nog or hot chocolate? Egg Nog is 50% gross and 50% inexplicable, so I’m going with hot chocolate.

Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrap. Does anyone just set them under the tree? Maybe Christmas in a flop house?
Colored lights on tree/house or white? Leah [...]

Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot Chocolate with mini-marshmallows…of course I’m not one to say no to egg nog—–especially with a bit of liqour it in

We had tons of things to do this weekend and managed to get all of it in. On Friday we went with our favorite Chicago Running Bloggers Mike and Barb to a Bulls game. Which they won which is always nice to see. I lived in Chicago during [...]

Sigh.

Another long day where my office mate pointed out to me yet another error I have in my code. It’s not that I don’t know how to code, but rather I am missing a fundemental understanding of what I am doing. Which you know….is awesome.

I get frustrated because at this obscenly old age of 27 [...]

Or maybe running with a hangover and after another shitty day at work makes it so hard.

Either way the plan was 8 miles with 10×100m strides in there. We split the workout into three parts as follows :

One lap around the ring = 3.7 miles
Walked out 100m, strided back, walked to start ended up = [...]

CAUSE THE BEARS FREAKIN’ ROCKED THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awe-some to say the least.

Jason and I played volleyball for about an hour and a half and headed home as soon as our games were over (and we won a game!!!!). We went out to our favorite bar, Small Bar, which we frequent on Monday nights anyways, [...]
