So GJB and I spent the day yesterday trying to peer pressure Rogue into just walking out of her work meeting and going running with us. She wasn't learning anything in there, anyway. And Endong that his child is old enough to manage back to school night on his own. I mean, by the time … Continue reading Hammer & Forge Strength Intervals
Anything But A Victim
Today was my last day at job number two. I think. Kind of. I mean, I carried my box of stuff out of the little folding table that serves as my office in the corner of someone else's cubicle. Over the year I was there, I went from an office. To a cubicle. To a … Continue reading Anything But A Victim
Avoid Basic Yoga When Emotional
I just fell. Walking up the stairs. Supermanned it. I mean, I really went all in on the fall. Just fully committed to it. Landed on both forearms and one already pissed off knee. Pealed the skin right off the bottom of my toe. The same toe that is desperately hanging on to that damn … Continue reading Avoid Basic Yoga When Emotional
Jarmans Invitational Marathon: Race Report
Soooo, Jarmans Invitational Marathon. JIM Are you familiar with this...event? Possibly not. It's a bit of a hidden gem here in Virginia. Probably not one of those high class gems. Definitely not like a diamond or a sapphire. Sapphires are fancy, right? I'm gonna say it's more of like an amethyst. I feel like amethysts … Continue reading Jarmans Invitational Marathon: Race Report
Jarman’s Invitational Marathon
This race is going to suck. That's what they tell you when you sign up. And also repeatedly up until race day. Shortly, I'll be getting in my car and driving to the fancy-sounding city of Crozet. The "t" is silent. It's French. At noon, I'll be toeing the starting line of this. I'll have … Continue reading Jarman’s Invitational Marathon
Foam Roll Frenzy
I’m pretty sure someone’s been attacking my calves while I sleep. Going at them like they’re punching bags. I’ve got cats. It could happen. You don’t know. I was gonna go to Punch and Body Pump classes again this morning. Because one of my kids that I haven’t seen in years was gonna be in … Continue reading Foam Roll Frenzy
Athletic Goddess
One of my co-workers called me an Athletic Goddess this week. I mean, she didn’t write a full blog post about it or anything. But she said it right on the social medias for the world to see. So this is how I spend my last week of summer vacation. I was gonna take the … Continue reading Athletic Goddess
My Birthday Wish
My birth month starts tomorrow. I see some of my friends asking folks to donate to various charities for their birthdays. That's awesome. And I considered it. But after I spent 2018 doing stupid shit and begging y'all for money to support Girls on the Run in my quest to run Chicago, I'm moved to … Continue reading My Birthday Wish
North Mountain. Again.
Freakin North Mountain. Again. This is my last full week before I officially go fulltime at the high school. So, I'm trying to balance some fun adventure with the last major push in hours at my non-profit job. Today Rogue said she wanted to get some adventuring in. We didn't really specify what that adventuring … Continue reading North Mountain. Again.
Spartan Aftermath
Spartan Race has pretty long-reaching aftereffects. My muscles have been begging for some yoga since we got home Saturday night. I have chafing on my inner thigh. Where the grit and sand took hold and just went to work sloughing off the top layer of skin due to my clear absence of thigh gap. So … Continue reading Spartan Aftermath
