  • Weekend Running

    It’s a gorgeous day in Northern VA. I woke up — got dressed for a run — had some water and headed out.  I sometimes use Mapmyrun.com to figure out the distance I go and today I mapped it at 5.16 miles. I am telling you the weather makes such a difference in my cardio…

  • Weekend Fun for Families

Here are some — AOL has a great employee parent’s group and they send out this weekly newsletter full of information and ideas and events. Here’s a few events I noticed this upcoming weekend: SAT 8/28 Greenberg’s Train & Toy Show Greenberg’s Train…

  • Hot and Muggy DC Area

    Hannah didn’t get her first tooth until after her 1st birthday so we fully expected the lateness of her losing her teeth. She has lost 2 so far, she’s 8 until today. Today she lost a front tooth! A Momentous Occasion here at our House! Looks like the tooth fairy will be visiting our house…

  • Post Rest and Recovery Run

    So after a 4 day forced rest period – I got back to my routine with a scheduled run with my pal Kimmy. We met on the trail and I felt great. Together we did 6.5miles – it was a great morning weather wise. Lots of people on the trail. What a difference running with…

  • Remembering Alex

    Today was really not a super exciting day — got some cleaning, organizing done in the house – which is never really done. It’s discouraging too because I have these 2 little things called ‘my kids’ that love to undo a lot of what I do around the house… I did get some alone time…

  • Incredible DC weather

    I woke up to incredible weather. Low 60’s, breezy – so I went for a 3 mile run on the trail. It really is a great way to start a day – you get some exercise and get to clear out some of the noise that is in your head. My mom is here visiting…

  • Great weekend

    Happy Sunday! I went to the gym yesterday because it was so hot outside – but I found it hard to get motivated because I felt like I was boxed in. Running on a treadmill doesn’t hold a candle to being outside. So I ran for a mile, then did this cyber arc for another…

  • Another weekend coming to a close

    I honestly don’t know if it was the run yesterday that brought dehydration upon me or that I am still getting over being sick, but I felt that I could sleep in all day. And I was cranky as all get out. I managed to gather the kids and head to the community pool for…

  • Brother/Sister bonding

    This is my brother Jon. We took this pic right before we went on our run this morning. How great is it that when my brothers come to visit me – we bond over exercise? We went on the trail and ran for a bit over an hour. This heat is rough on West coast…

  • A wonderful morning!

    I went for a run this morning with 2 of my favorite ladies. We met at Partlows on the W&OD Trail and did 4 miles together – I ran .5 mi there and back to meet them.  It certainly makes the time go by faster and the run seem easier when you have good company.…
