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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

RunKeeper Pro Review

We all know how much I like gadgets. Well, maybe if you are new around here you don’t. If that’s the case, WELCOME! No, just the same 10 people? Well, Welcome to you anyways. A little wacky this morning? Perhaps I am!

Yesterday as I as driving home I thought about the horrible run that was [...]

Super Fun Baby + Another Week of Running

Do you realize how fun a 15 month old is. Lucy laughs all the time for seemingly no reason. She thinks the weirdest things are *hilarious*. She is so much fun to watch and play with these days. She’s into *everything*, blabs all the time (every once in awhile we realize she says something real). [...]

Growing Like a Weed + Actual Running

Lucy is now 15 months old. When the hell did that happen? We had her well baby visit yesterday and she’s good on all fronts. 32″ tall (95th percentile) 22lb 11oz (50th percentile…happy to see her put on some weight) and 75% in head (she must have gotten some of Jason and some of me [...]

A New Running Life

Look over there on the right and you’ll see that its’ not 0 for the week or the month. YAY. Small. Small. Teeny. Tiny. Steps.

I used to be able to run 3 laps around the ring at Fermilab. Sometimes I would do that run at like 2 in the morning. Ok, so what. So I [...]
