Couer D Alene half

Gearing up with Frances leg warmers on my arms. Ohhh, I am so hard core. I semi love this picture but shutter at the same time. I love it because I look all the part, I shutter because, ummm I’m no Kara Goucher. Fo’ Sho. It didn’t occur to me to bring a throw away […]

Couer D Alene

We finally made it to Couer D’Alene. Jesus, we live in BFE. My kids are making me crazy and I am having all kinds of phantom pains. Bummer is I can’t even drink (enough) tonight to conceal the crazies. It is funny a year ago I was so freaked I wouldn’t be able to complete […]

Yesterday I registered for the Coeur d Alene Half Marathon. I am really excited because even though I have been running for about 7 years, last year was my first half marathon. It was so fun that one of my besties and I had planned to make it an annual event. I didn’t have my […]

I have kinda forgotten about the blog. Life has gotten in the way and frankly I don’t think there is any thing really interesting to report. I finished my second half marathon on 10-10-10 in Walla Walla. Sadly, that is not my time of 1:43 in the right hand corner (10k clock) I finished in […]

It has been almost TWO months since the last post, sorry family. After 5 years of schedule conflicts etc I finally finished my first half marathon in 2:17. It was really fun to run with a great friend. I had tons left in the tank but we wanted to stick together and I’m so glad we […]

I don’t know about anyone else out there but in order to not drive all my friends away I need blog buddies who want to talk about running incessantly. It is kinda great because there is intimacy but autonomy as well. You can do it when it is convenient for you and there is no […]

Birthday #2

We walked to Whitman College so my kiddos could meet the Seattle Mariners. Pretty cool. They autographed his hat as well. My son also celebrated his 7th birthday. My daughter has her 3rd birthday. Holy smokes I am wiped out. This week in running has been L.A.M.E. I have felt completely exhausted. Maybe it’s the creepy fog that […]

Which Program

We had to take our daughter to the ER the other night because she sounded awful. I was worried it was pneumonia but turns out she has croup. Poor thing. This morning woke up to a flat tire as well, so my planned work out at the Y is kabushed. Oh well. Kinda nice to […]
