Gummy Bears to the Rescue

November 8, 2009

This morning I stayed in bed a little longer then I anticipated – but I guess that means my body needed some sleep.  I got up and ate a whole Honey Graham Cliff Z-Bar and hit the road for an 8 mile run. Holy moley was it hot out there – I forgot it was [...]

I wasn’t too happy to have to set my alarm on a Saturday but I needed to get in a 3 mile run before I have to be at work by 11 am.  I got up a little after 7 am, and enjoyed yet another Fig Newman – for some reason I was STARVING this [...]

November 1, 2009

I arrived home close to 2 am this morning after a very exciting Halloween Dance at school (because you are reading this VERY EXCITING is sarcastic).  I was happy we got to Fall back tonight so in reality, I got that extra hour of sleep and was still up around 9:30 am.  Love it. After [...]

Places to Go…Races to Run

October 31, 2009

This is going to be quick – I’m running out the door.  It is supposed to be 70 degrees here today.  A few weeks ago I was wearing a turtleneck sweater – today I’m wearing capri pants and a t-shirt.  Nothing like New England weather. To fuel for my 5k this morning, I enjoyed a [...]
