As I mentioned in Monday’s post, we are headed out of town this weekend. First stop? My father-in-law’s birthday/retirement celebration in Pennsylvania, followed by 48 hours in Baltimore – a city that plays a pretty significant role in the history of my little family. I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten into it here before, […]

Trophy Mom (Race and Weekend Recap)
Yay! It’s officially fall! Now I can break into the many, many cans of pumpkin that I’ve been hoarding in my pantry. For some reason, it felt strange to enjoy the pumpkiny deliciousness while the calendar said it was still summer. Anyway, this past weekend jam-packed with all sorts of things … races, parades, birthdays, […]

Adios to Summer Running
It’s no secret: I don’t like summer running. Sorry. I know some people love getting a full sweat on when it’s 90 degrees, but I’m not one of them. Give me a Turkey Trot or a 50-degree run surrounded by New England foliage any day. Now that the official start of fall is a few […]
Weekly Meal and Exercise Plan + Aug. Mileage Total
Good morning! It feels like ages since I put together a real meal plan. The last couple of weeks leading up to the start of school have been crazy, between days off from work to cover what I call the “camp-school bridge week” and nearly a week of a sick Buddy, who had a fever […]
