I have just returned from Iowa! Did ya miss me? Did ya happen to see a 5 month pregnant woman running through the Atlanta airport last night in an effort to catch her connecting flight back to New York on time? If you did, let’s just pretend that wasn’t me. No, instead let’s chat about … Read more

February 4th, 2012 | Posted by in Short or Sweet - (10 Comments)I Will Not Eat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for Breakfast
November 4th, 2011 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)I have Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in my freezer. Blasted Halloween. These are Maxine’s, and it was her idea to put them in the freezer. I think there is something programmed into women from birth to know that chocolate + peanut butter are best when cold. I will not eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for … Read more
OK baby girl, enough with the bike riding birthday breakfast bonanzas – you’ve got a marathon you’re supposed to be training for. Oh shoot, you’re right! Well, it’s Saturday, so I guess that means we’re running long today, eh? A few weeks ago I made my own version of Brendan Brazier’s Direct Fuel Bites for … Read more

August 10th, 2011 | Posted by in Morning Craziness - (3 Comments)This is the story of how an SUV in need of new shocks inspired a sweet, frosty post-ride treat today. Ready? Every day at approximately 4:55 AM, the squeakiest newspaper delivery vehicle this side of the Mississippi river squeaks down my street. It makes two or three unbelievably squeaky stops at the houses directly across … Read more
On my run this morning I realized it was a year ago today that I embarked on my maiden voyage with my neighborhood running group. Although I guess a year ago today was Halloween, and Halloween is of course tomorrow. So I suppose I really should have written a year ago tomorrow, but the group … Read more
If I could sum up in one word what I’ve learned over the course of the last couple of weeks here, that word would be: Balance. Now of course this concept of “balance” is not a foreign to me or to you or to anyone who is at least somewhat committed to living a healthier … Read more
Tonight I had a welcome distraction and was able to escape for a few hours from the boxes and unpacking and kids-going-stir-crazy madness. With a girlfriend in from out of town for the holidays, my three best girls and I left men and children behind and to head out and paint the town red. Or … Read more
This post is a figment of your imagination. Or is it? I didn’t expect to have a chance to run or post this morning. But here I am, having unexpectedly run and now unexpectedly posting. How unexpected. When an opportunity to run this morning presented itself, I jumped at it. Zak worked from home, the … Read more
After what seems like the 100th day in a row of packing and hauling toys and household items to the new house, I found myself blanking once again when it was time to figure out what on earth I was going to make for dinner tonight. I think I made 6 trips back and forth … Read more
Today felt like an overnight oats kind of morning. Except I didn’t make overnight oats last night. Good thing “Overnight Oats” is just a trick of a name and it could more accurately be called “Just a Few Hours Oats”. Into a bowl at 6 AM: 1/2 a mashed banana, 1/2 c of rolled oats, … Read more
