The last day of September was a great one. The older I get, the more I love the changing of seasons, especially from hot humidity to crisp autumn days. The South has such a short “fall” season that I make a point to take advantage of the outdoors as often as I can. Running lately=awesome. …

I wish I had some great news to share about the journey to conception, but no news is just that. Nothing to report for now. When school started, the timing of everything became a LOT more difficult to navigate. Then when I got sick a few weeks ago, well, that had an impact on the …
I’m not the selfie queen. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid the whole selfie thing because, let’s be honest….I’m not confident in my appearance lately. I’m actively making changes and I feel a lot more confident than I did 2 weeks ago. I’m just not back to “selfie” status and I …
I know it’s interesting to see a Paleo fan talk about “meatless” anything, but even I love to experiment with all kinds of recipes including meatless. We both enjoy an occasional meatless meal that is heavy on vegetables. For this post, I’m teaming up with Silk to talk about meatless Football meals. One thing I …
I mentioned earlier that I’m ditching sugar again…sigh..again, and getting back on the Paleo train, which is the plan that works great for me when I stick to it. My glucose levels are low, my energy is high, my workouts are awesome, and I can fit in my pants. So here we go. This time …
It usually happens at least once a season, but this year, ESPN Gameday is in Tuscaloosa early. They came out for the “rematch” of Ole Miss and Alabama. I got up early and headed to the Quad to see what was shaking this morning. So much truth in this sign. Gary and Verne….no thanks. I …
Things are moving quickly now on the land. The dirt and tree man came to dig up remove some spindly pines and lay the dirt foundation for the shop. The shop is on the schedule in the next couple of weeks. See that dish and power pole in the middle? Yeah…that’s where the camper/trailer will …
This is a little smidge of my mood at 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon. It’s been a LONG week and it’s only been 3 days. I’m still trying to shake off a sinus infection, my running is more waddle/jogging than sprinting, and I’m hungry. Date night at Taco Mama was a nice ray of sunshine …
I consider myself a reasonable person. I don’t have huge expectations that are difficult to meet. I rely on the usual—air, water, sun. The rest is negotiable. However. I must have a working Sharpie. And lately, they are failing me. Miserably. I have cups and caddies all over the classroom full of pens, highlighters, regular …
If you are a Twitter follower, you’ve probably noticed a few retweets from me from Women’s Running magazine. A few months ago, they reached out to our Rock ‘n’ Roll Ambassador fearless leader to see if any of us would be interested in working with them to promote some articles and print subscriptions. As …
I love when a plan comes together. The plan I’m referring to is the “get your junk together and start living again” plan. It’s working. It seems the key to such a plan is to put on running shoes. Go outside or to the treadmill. Make legs run. Enjoy the effects. Repeat the following day. …
It’s the unofficial end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. Finally, the days are getting a little shorter and hopefully the weather will cooperate soon. Today was a total rest day, snooze day, nothing too hectic day. I have almost whipped this sinus infection into submission so I hope I’m all better by work …
Before I get to football, let me tell you about my morning. I didn’t sleep well last night and certainly didn’t have much planned for today. I felt horrible and the only thing I needed to do was drive into town and get my medicine. It wasn’t available late Friday after I went to the …
One of the biggest and best honors in my blogging and running life is being an Ambassador for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series. I was chosen to be on the 2015 team and I still remember the day the list came out. I was ecstatic! I have participated in several Rock ‘n’ Roll races …
The tuesday has spoken and it’s not happy. Let me list the ways. 1. I feel a sinus infection lingering in the background. 2. College football is STILL 3 days away. 3. My pants are tight. It seems running more does NOT counteract my love for mango strips. 4. It’s muggy. And humid. And hot. …
