Moving Right Along

Before we left for Southern California we decided to remodel our only full bathroom. It was really, really gross. Nice shot of the shitter. Your welcome. So now our bedroom looks like this Thank The Lord we know the right people, they took great care of us and got the plumbing done while we were […]

I’m tired

We are in Southern California visiting my husbands family (well my family too). We came down to celebrate Great Grandmas 90th birthday. She is an incredible whiskey drinker lady. If I make it that long I hope to grow up to be just like her. Along with the celebration also brought very very sad news […]

Marathoniversary

Can’t believe it’s been a year since my first marathon in PDX. Yesterday I had total fall racing envy. Seems everyone was out there destroying their bodies but me. Lucky bastards. Diane and I slipped on our overpriced race shirts and ran 16 to get ready for my 3rd marathon and her 4th. CIM is […]

Sick Day

There are real benefits to having a sick child at home; like catching up on blogs. So since it has been a while I think bullet points are appropriate to catch up, if I can remember what has happened the last few weeks. * I had to drive to Portland to get my yuppie car […]

Change of Scene

So it’s about that time again and I’m getting antsy to leave this island. Find a new place to run. Something different to look at. Something. New. Please. I had this brilliant (yes another one) idea to drive 15-20 min out of town and run on these super back country roads. Diane and I had […]

It’s in!

Over 250 lbs this thing is a Beast! Right before we drove away from the sellers house my brilliant mother in law had the good sense to say, “Um Becca…do you think it’s going to fit down the stairs to the basement? Maybe we should measure it?” “Oh yeah sure it will fit. They make […]

Steal!

Occasionally I have trolled Craigslist for a treadmill. I mean one can’t have to many running options. I figured if the right thing came along then it was meant to be. There have been numerous times I have had to skip a run because of life. I know, YOU get it! And I know YOU […]

Island Running

Thank god some crazy hippies put these on the shore because we all know I’m terrible with directions. Here’s a huge pet peeve- out and backs. Running loops is where it’s at for me. I’ve only ran out and backs a few times but I loathe it and will do just about anything to avoid […]

Vacation Running

I’d like to think I’m not a creature of habit but when ever (all the countless times) I go on vacation I realize panic sets in because I don’t have my “route”. Before vacation I dream of beautiful runs and picture myself on the inside page of Runners World; you know the the featured photo […]

CIM

<;br / Oh Yeah Baby! I’m going back “home”. As I type this I practically have tears in my eyes because I can not believe all that has happened since we left Sacramento nearly 7 years ago. I first started running about a year before we moved out of the “city”. Never in a million […]
