Time

I read this the other day: http://www.mamapedia.com/voices/an-open-letter-to-time

And then my eyes got a little watery at work.

I look at Lucy these days and I want to ask her where she came from. This goofy, chattering, tall, hilarious girl. She can’t be my daughter, because my daughter is a little baby girl. Of course she is her. After [...]

Lucy is Two

Really? When did that happen? I mean it was just like a few minutes ago that she looked like this:

 

I read on the internet recently that the days go slow but the years go fast and holy crap is that true. Where did the last two years go? I mean now she looks like this:

Her [...]

Running in the Rain

There is nothing quite like running in the rain in my opinion. If the temperature isn’t too low, and the wind is low it’s probably one of the most enjoyable running sessions for me. That wasn’t quite what the weather was last night, but I’m on a mission to run 3 times a week. Our [...]

Teething and Tantrums

How many of you watch Modern Family? Well I know I should watch it more than I do because every time we catch an episode I laugh so hard that I just about pee my pants. Seriously last time I watched an episode I was laughing so hard my stomach muscles ached.

Anyways there was an [...]

Motivation? Where Did You Go?

Seriously, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was pumped to run and was running 8:whatever minute miles.

I know, I know I just said on the last post that I’m just happy to be running at all. That’s a Lie.

I want to run far again and I just can’t get into [...]

Been Awhile.....To Say the Least

Looking back, it looks like my last post with some actual content was just about two months ago. I have to say that’s pretty lame and as such I can already tell my writing is going to suffer here. Because you know what, practice makes perfect (or at least better) and so when there is [...]

18 Months & A Comment on Parents

Well, where I have been. Busy! Where am I now? Princeton, New Jersey for the D0 Collaboration meeting. I’m up early and so I have some time.

Do you know that the little miss Lucille has turned 18 months old. This is what she looks like:

Wait….whose’s kid is that? Can’t be mine, I just have a [...]

Burley!

Last summer Jason and I bought new bikes because I was going to BIKE TO WORK EVERYDAY!

Do you know something? Biking is hard. Also, I was still nursing and biking  + nursing proved to be too difficult for me. I was carrying my pump, milk, lunch, change of clothes, laptop on my back and biking [...]

Perfection in Scheduling

I have gone through my share of crazy schedules.

Bike to metra. Lock bike downtown. Train to Wheaton where the car was left. Drive to Fermilab
Bike to metra. Take bike on train. Train to Rt. 59. Bike from metra station to Fermilab
Take the CTA to metra. Train  to Wheaton. Drive to Lab. Drive back to train. [...]

Easy To Jump Back In

Jason and I have both been surprised how easy it has been to jump back into respectable distances in running. Granted it has taken awhile to even get the desire to run again, but now that that is back, the distance isn’t much of a problem. I think it’s because we are starting slow, not [...]
