2006 Seattle Half-Marathon, Part II
Pin itIt appears I may have communicated with a bit more negativism in my previous post than I intended… The pain made me do it! The pain made me do it! I had so much fun. So stinkin’ much! My 2 favorite memories: 1) Discovering at the half-way point we had maintained a skintight-less-than-10-minute-mile average [...]
Half-Marathon, All-Done
Pin itSo… I did it. And I was not alone… over 10,000 others were there too. Most importantly, Katie & E were with me – all 3 of us in our matching hot pink shirts. We even hat matching pink hats! Where should I begin? Should I start at 4 a.m. when my alarm went [...]

We need a "safety"…

I was sad to find that despite the last number of quite rainy days, it was NOT that way this morning. We’ve [...]
Celebrate the Tummy ???

Hostess Snack Cake Sushi

Somehow, I stumbled upon the “Hostess Snack Cake Sushi” page. Now, this is the kind of sushi one might catch me digging into… you gotta love faux food! Not Martha gives [...]
The end of our 9 mile run…

Like Good Chocolate
Pin itClean makes me happy. It is almost as exciting as chocolate. I’m not kidding. Just as a really good piece of chocolate (dark) sets me twirling and smiling and humming a happy food tune – I am learning having things clean and organized puts me in a similar mood. I noticed, the other day, [...]
But of course…
