Moving on and settling down…all at once
Is Recuperation Like Mourning?Posted by beth on March 3, 2011
I’ve been to the gym exactly twice since we got back from New Orleans. Yes, that gym that I pay to be a member of. Twice. And while I’m starting to feel a small tinge of guilt for the money that’s being wasted every day that I don’t go, I don’t want to go. I’m [...]
Back in the Saddle AgainPosted by beth on February 22, 2011
If you haven’t heard, there’s some very excited talk of me going (with about eight of my favorite gal pals) to run next year’s Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon. Tutus, good. Tiaras, good. Friends, good. Running, if we must. So I’ve decided that in order to be better prepared for this one than I was for [...]
Aaaaaaaand stretchPosted by beth on February 17, 2011
I’m pretty much out of words for the month, so forgive me if this is short, stilted, awkward or otherwise unreadable. New Orleans was GREAT. We had a fantastic time, we had the best cheerleaders ever, we ate a lot of really good food, and we completed all 13.1 miles of the 1/2 marathon. We [...]
Non-stop Fun?Posted by beth on February 9, 2011
I feel like I’ve packed two weeks into this week already, what with laundry and writing sub plans and making a sassy Mardi Gras running skirt and movie Tuesday and working out and this and that and the other thing. I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday, but on the other hand, I can’t believe it’s [...]

Y’all. Whew. The semester is over. It’s over, and a new one doesn’t start for almost a MONTH! And in that time, I have so few plans, it’s ridiculous. And the plans I do have are as follows: Spend this weekend in VA with Rachel and Annabelle shopping and baking. Bake cupcakes. Write/edit some articles. [...]
This productivity is wearing me out.Posted by beth on November 1, 2010
Well, it’s been a very productive few days full of fun, friends, surprise visits and getting things done. Rock-o-Ween was a huge success. The only thing that didn’t happen the way I wanted was that my hair didn’t turn blond despite the fact that I left the dye on it for at least a full [...]
TWIT (This Week in Training)Posted by beth on October 8, 2010
Well, friends, after three weeks of Week Four training, I am now in Week FIVE!! L-Josh and I went last night and did the first day. Now, let me explain to you how Week 5 goes. The first day, not including warm up/cool down, we run for five minutes, walk for three, run for five, [...]
Runnin’ ShoesPosted by beth on October 6, 2010
Y’all. I’ve never thought this much about shoes. I very rarely do research on products I want to buy, but the running shoes I buy need to keep me and my joints safe and healthy for many, many miles. I’m taking that seriously. I’ve had the same shoes since the Washington, DC Avon Walk in [...]
AAAARGH MONDAY WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?!Posted by beth on October 4, 2010
I swear, y’all, time has sped up exponentially today. I don’t know what’s happening. The weekend felt all slow and lazy, which was amazing, and then this afternoon has flown by at warp speed, leaving me with MUCH to do and very little time, so here’s a quick rundown of what I was going to [...]
1/2 Marathon Training: Week 4-ishPosted by beth on September 18, 2010
I’ve been “in training” for the 1/2 marathon for over a month now, but I’m just starting week four of the Couch to 5k program. Hey, remember a couple of weeks ago when I was just starting week three and couldn’t possibly imagine running for FIVE WHOLE MINUTES STRAIGHT? Well, friends, I am very proud [...]
