This week has been a slow-go AGAIN. We said goodbye to Charlotte’s paci now that she’s a big 2-year old and the evenings/nights haven’t been so great which makes the 4:30 wake-up call a snooze button festival! Sorry dear. (I am married to a man that NEVER uses snooze.) And my stress-fracture site (these kind

10K Tuesday – Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
This past week has NOT been a good 10K training week. Instead of 5 days on and 2 rest days, it was reversed…5 days off the treadmill and only 2 days on. And those days were not great. A friend reminded me that training schedules never include sick days, sick kid days, busy work days, trips,

I’m a SoleMate!
From now until April 30th, Tuesday’s post will be named “Training Tuesday” and will follow my experiences training for a 10K…while still working, while still taking care of three children, while still getting chores accomplished at home, while still getting bills paid, while still finding time to blog, etc. How on earth will I fit
Weighing on My Mind
This is a VERY touchy topic with many women…but, here’s my story. Let’s go back to January 2002 when Andy and I lived in Nashville. I was 25 years old and about to do what I never thought I would have to do…I was about to outgrow my size 10 pants and have to go,
