This was an unplanned cutback week. Unplanned as in, excessive vomiting means I only ran to the garbage can. No miles Tues-Thurs. Light miles Friday. Nothing this weekend. Monday-4 miles Friday- 2 miles Total: 6 whopping miles. Yeah, well, plans can change quickly around here.

This is the last Friday in February. Let that sink in. This time next week, March will come roaring in and winter won’t be far behind. Alabama people may seem like we do not know a whole lot but we know our weather. If winter misery didn’t sit for a spell in February, we better …
As part of our school employee health program, we have to have a Wellness Screening every year. I wasn’t thrilled about this when it first started, but it’s a minor screening and it’s things I need to know every year. Every year, I get a pretty darn good result. Glucose is within range, good cholesterol …
Monday: 3.3 miles Tuesday: 2.3 miles Wednesday: 4.3 miles Thursday: 2.5 miles Saturday: 4 miles Sunday: 5 miles Total: 21.4 miles. I’m getting better
The rowing team is out this morning! It’s a great cloudy morning in Tuscaloosa! People are out in their spring flip flops because the groundhog is a loser and winter has left the building. It’s 80 today. In February. No wonder we are all sick with flu or allergies. I needed a few more packages …
Until I actually get the do-over, let’s do a cheer for early morning running. Wow, it’s been a rough week. Between current events with our President and immigration to dealing with an awful Flu and stomach virus attack in Kindergarten, I just want to cover my head for the weekend. Love love these shoes. Saucony …
1. Prices Thrive Market is an online grocery store that is advertised as being more economical than chain stores and Amazon. That’s a tall declaration. After hearing about Thrive from so many people in the Paleo world, I had to see for myself. A quick glance at comparison pricing and I had my answer. Kettle …
This year will be my 11th year of running and one thing that has not changed. The first mile is awful. I don’t mean it’s a little annoying. I mean, it is AWFUL. I thought maybe it was just me. I thought that for the first year of base-building. But now, after all these years …
and #3. I have big red hair. All stereotypes are true… I’m all about saving money. Let’s face it, he won’t have to try hard. #truestory We’ve been married for a few years and do not have kids. He’s one romantic fool and I have zero complaints in that department. When he called this …

It’s been a while since I have written a favorites post. With the first 2 months of a new year in progress, here are a few things making life easy and or fun lately. 1. Friends don’t let friends forget their first love. Thanks, Heather! 2. This Trader Joe’s find is one of the best. …
It was a beautiful morning for running. Foggy. I love foggy mornings. My worn-in Sauconys got a great workout. A few hours later, we had some big changes on the pole barn home. Concrete foundation is finished! They started around 7 this morning and they are now doing all that polishing stuff. With a foundation, …
Do you love racing? Do you love bling? Do you love traveling to races and bling? Then now is the time to apply for Rock’nRoll Marathon race series Rock’n’Blog Team. What do we do? Talk about our favorite races on the Rock’n’Roll Tour stops. We talk a LOT about running, training runs, running gear, …
I loved every minute of these miles. Some were walking. Some were stopping to see what was on the track. Some were repeating the latest song-on-repeat (The Taylor Swift/Zayn song. Yes, that one. Yes, the soundtrack to that movie.) I’ve been fighting off a vicious sinus infection, without antibiotics, and I’m finally seeing some relief. …
This week was torture. I don’t know if it’s because January is not kind or what. This week’s miles were a lesson in patience and creativity. There’s only so many times I can say a cuss word before even I get bored with it. Here’s the week: Monday: 3.4 miles Tuesday: 3.1 miles Wednesday: …
I love that the Tuscaloosa River Market is open year-round. Alabama has a fantastic growing season and there is always fresh produce available. And while I do love fresh produce in season, the main reason I am thankful for year-round market is because of this. Meat and eggs. I get most of my meat from …
Things are moving along with the house construction. If this looks a little unusual, you’re right. We are not building a traditional stud wall home. This is the beginnings of a pole barn construction home. In a couple of weeks, we will have a house standing, but nothing inside. No load-bearing walls. No rooms. Just …
