I have my third and final 20 mile training run in the morning and I feel miserable. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to get through it. And if I do somehow manage to get the miles in, I have absolutely no idea how I am going to get through an entire [...]

I’m sick, and so is half of Kade’s preschool class. They cancelled school tomorrow so they can disinfect the classroom and hopefully stop the outbreak. I have a sinking feeling that Kade may have started the whole thing last week when I sent him to school with a runny nose that I thought was allergies, [...]

I woke up at 5:00 this morning to run 8 miles. At this point in marathon training, my body is spent. I’m sore. I’m tired. I’m ready for my taper. Despite all of that, the run went well. I managed to safely navigate the dark, storm ravaged streets and make it home (I cannot believe [...]

Big Brother 10 is officially over. Now what are we going to watch?
Thank goodness my children provide countless hours of entertainment (click on the photo to witness them in all their Gorillaz glory).
Maybe they can teach me some moves. The “windmill” seems like a real winner…and Liv’s head-bob, well that just makes me laugh.
Kyle videotaped [...]

I’d like to think that I’m an environmentally conscious individual. I recycle…everything. I leave my car at home for most of my errands. I have removed nearly all hazardous, commercial, chemical-laden cleaning products from my home (the lysol wipes are the last to go…I just don’t know how to get through my daily bathroom wipe-down [...]

Kyle’s getting the best birthday present ever. We have tickets (thanks, Mom and Mike Crum) for the Browns vs. Steelers prime-time game tonight. It’s probably going to get crazy down there, but I’m all about crazy so bring it on (not too thrilled about the incoming monsoon, but hey…that’s what ponchos are for). Unfortunately, the [...]

I’ve trained for two marathons, which adds up to a lot of miles…most of which were run on my neighborhood streets. I’ve run down nearly every side street in both Lyndhurst and South Euclid. Hell, I’ve done a tour of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, South Euclid, Lyndhurst, and Mayfield Heights in a single run before. Running [...]

As random stuff happens throughout the day, I tell myself…that would make a good blog post, but for some reason (complete exhaustion, splitting headache, screaming children, annoying phone call, brain fart) the post never gets written, the blog gets neglected and I’m left wondering if anyone even reads this thing anymore.
I keep telling Kyle that [...]

My marathon training schedule had three 20-milers on it and I’ve successfully finished two of them, which means I’m two weeks to taper and the season is quickly coming to a close. The best part is that at the end of both of my 20 mile runs I could have kept going (make no mistake…I [...]

Kade’s first day of Pre-Kindergarten was yesterday (I wanted to post last night, but the crazy day got the better of me) and I had the pleasure of being the first parent helper. Kade was nervous and excited and totally freaked for the head lice check. His teacher wanted to take a photo of each [...]
