It’s no secret that I’m a Hokie fan through and through, and I’m very proud of my alma mater. So much in fact, that this spring I wrote What It’s Really Like To Be A Hokie. So on the eve of the Hokie Half Marathon, I’ll shared my lessons learned at Virginia Tech. Lessons […]
It’s time for Friday Five linkup with DC area bloggers Courtney at Eat Pray Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What?!, and Mar at Mar on the Run! Each week Courtney, Cynthia, and Mar either suggest a theme for that week’s Friday Five Linkup, or leave it up to individual bloggers to come up with their own Free Friday […]
I’ve decided to be one of the cool kids again this month and join in the fun with Amanda and Becka for their Runner’s Tell All Monthly link-up. If you remember, last month I wrote My Running Story In 250 Words as part of their link-up. This month their cue was to write about your […]
Thank you to everyone that participated in my SPIbelt giveaway! I wish that everyone that entered could have won! To select the winner, I just pushed the magic Rafflecopter button… And Rafflecopter did its thing and Emma came up as the winner of the free Original SPIbelt! Emma won with her comment, “I would be […]
I haven’t done a Top Ten Tuesday for a while so I thought I’d share some things with you today. These are just random things that I’ve seen recently that made me smile! Joseph shared this Guinness commercial with us last week. Since then I’ve seen it circulating on Facebook and saw it on Monday […]
Remember this summer when I shared photos from my parents’ garden? Mom sent us home yesterday with a basket full of just picked tomatoes! This basket was overflowing with tomatoes until I shared with Joseph, Julie, and some friends! There’s nothing like a freshly sliced garden tomato! Interesting facts about tomatoes: Tomatoes are members of […]
Saturday morning I woke up at 4 AM to get my day started. Only two things will get me up that early without complaining. Running and Virginia Tech football… We rolled into Blacksburg at 9:30 AM on a perfect fall day for the 1:30 PM kickoff. We tailgate with several other couples that we were […]
Today was one heck of a busy day with lots of driving (riding for me), tailgating, cheering, and all around having a great time; and I’m just now getting around to giving you two minutes of my undivided attention! Let’s just say that my day involved a little bit of this… And this… Tomorrow I […]
When Bill and I headed out for an early morning run, it was only 55 degrees… My kind of weather! 🙂 I decided to run ten miles today since I won’t be able to join the Cruisers tomorrow morning for our long run. I couldn’t convince any of them to call into work sick and […]
I’m having a little bit of work done in my home gym so it’s a bit of a mess for the next month or so. Don’t worry, you’ll get before-and-after pictures once it’s done. Anyway, luckily for me the weather has been gorgeous here this week, so I’ve been taking my clients out to the […]
Bill got totally spoiled this morning when I made him a hot breakfast. This just goes to show that miracles do happen! Don’t get used to it, Babe! 😉 And later today at the grocery store I bought him this surprise! When we were first married and lived in Utah, we couldn’t find Entenmann’s in […]
I have some very exciting news about another giveaway that I am starting today! One lucky reader will win a free Original SPIbelt (SPIbelt = small personal item belt). While perusing the Virginia Wine Country Half Marathon Expo, I stopped by the SPIbelt booth and talked to their sales rep, Megan, about their products. I […]
