There’s nothing like being only 13 weeks into your pregnancy and looking, well, definitively more pregnant than I am. Last week, one of my coworkers asked, “Just how pregnant are you?” Sigh. It begins again. Each pregnancy, I’ve gotten to hear comments such as, “That’s a big baby,” and “You’re getting so big,” and, my […]
OMG. Shin splints. What a bitch! So, my new Brooks Dyads had me hobbling home after my one mile run. SHIN SPLINTS. Oy. I kind of forgot about shin splints. How I forgot about shin splints, I don’t know, but they are a beast. Despite being a state of agonizing, foul language inducing pain, I’m […]
Yes. The Color Run was just as much fun as I thought it would be. If it comes to Louisville again, I will run it again. And next time, I’ll take my son with me because he would have had a blast. He would have been one of the kids that rolled in the color, […]
After five days relaxing and playing on the beach, it’s back to the norm. Sigh. Vacation is over, and we’re home again. What an awesome vacation. We had an amazing time. And we survived the car ride with two little ones! The drive down was a much quieter trip than coming home, but all and […]
I finally had to admit to myself that I have no serious intentions of running the Hartland Mini Marathon in September. I did immediately after crossing the Derby City Mini finish line, but the thermostat just kept climbing. The heat, paired with being back in school and trying to work around my husband’s training for […]
When I crossed the finish line for my first mini marathon at the end of April, I’d already decided I was going to run another 13.1 miles this year. I was sore as hell but still very much in love with running. I just needed a tiny break to recover and turn my focus to […]
Okay. So, a few days ago it was hot. Like, upper 80’s to 90’s hot. My garden soil in one bed looked like dust because we’d been on a hot streak. Today, the weather is in the low 60’s with a cool breeze. Personally, this weather is right up my ally. I will definitely be […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve had nasty bouts of heartburn. For anyone who hasn’t experienced heartburn, let me assure you that it sucks. It really sucks when you’re suffering with heartburn and attempting to run five miles. That was the case for me this morning. Raging heartburn that showed itself in full force around […]
Obviously, not at the same time. I’ll admit, I’m pretty good at multitasking, but needle work while running? That’s a talent I haven’t mastered. Last night, wonderfully, thankfully, the day shift charge nurse called and asked if I was up for a budget, meaning did I want to stay at home and take call pay. […]
It’s been, what, over two weeks since my last run? That’s really not that long, is it? But today, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I miss running. Not just a “I felt really good running and it’d be nice to hit the pavement again” kind of missing. More of a “I don’t […]
