I’ve got two doctor appointments today: one in the morning as a follow-up to the whole “free air” conundrum, and one with the orthopedist in the afternoon for my foot. In between and around them, we have to:
Get Gabe’s preschool forms signed (luckily by the same doctor as this morning’s appointment, so I can […]

Most of the clothes packed? Check.
Swimsuits? Check. (Ooh, don’t forget Sam’s goggles!)
Camera and batteries? Check.
Kids already acting like total maniacs? Oh, heck, check.
Nosy-ish neighbor watching the house and watering plants? Check.
Little toiletries, looking cute? Awww, check.
Feeling grumpy and ticked off from another morning of no running? CHECK!
Husband […]

After all the go-go-go we’ve been having, today seems like a perfect day to just kick back and take it easy. (So I started with a nine-mile run. Hey, we all have our definitions of “easy.”) Yesterday, I bought a mini-crockpot, and Eric started some steel-cut oatmeal in it last night so […]

I’d never heard of this guy. Have I been under a rock or something? (Wouldn’t be the first time.)
So, I was talking to Mom today on the phone, and I mentioned that every day lately, without fail, I get dog tired an hour after running. I go from energized and happy to […]

Summer, that is; it seems to have found our corner of Wisconsin. Now, I realize that we have very little room to complain; all things considered, there just aren’t that many days here per year that could be considered uncomfortably hot. Maryland was much warmer, and I recall suffering through far worse […]

Remember that mumbly, grumbly noise you used to make when your mom would try to get you up in the morning - sort of meant to indicate that you were wide awake, but in fact was about the extent to which you were able to exert yourself without opening your eyes or moving a muscle […]

It makes me smile when, waking Sam up in the morning, he grouses at me for not waking him up to go out on my run with me. Not that he’s ever gone before, of course, but the complaint implies that we frequently do run together and that I breached some sort of standing […]

I had a decent run this morning; nice and quiet, not too hot outside. I haven’t felt “great” since the whole medical stuff started, and now I think we’re heading into That Time of the Month, so I have that to eagerly anticipate. I am looking forward to Saturday’s race, mind you, […]

GABE: “Mom, does ‘advice’ start with the letter ‘i’?”
ME: “No, the letter ‘a’.”
GABE (wandering off, grumbling): “Then he was wrong! I knew it!”
I have no idea or context. All part of trying to keep up with these boys. Yesterday at a playground, Gabe confused the heck out of some dad […]

Mostly for me, but if anybody else can get anything from it, go for it.
