I never had the ambition to participate in a running race. I am still a little bit surprised myself that I signed up for and finished my first half-marathon a month ago. If you had told me this two years ago, I would have laughed in your face and called you crazy. I just didn’t…
1. J actually found these Blowfish Bungalow Sandals for me online and asked me to get them. I honestly thought I had enough sandals, but since I liked the look as well and they were very affordable, I did order them and I am so very glad I did. They look very nice, are well-made and…
In honor of my love for the National Parks and the outdoors, I’ll be running a virtual 10k this weekend organized by VRC. There is still time to join me, if you’re up for it. I am usually not a huge fan of virtual races, but the t-shirts + medals are really cool and a…
so excited because it’s my nephew’s first day of school today. I can’t believe he’s 6 and ready to start school already. He (and my niece both) are growing up too fast. Slow the heck down. sad that I can’t be in Germany right now to be part of the 1st day of school celebrations….
Another Tuesday to link up with Erika, Patty, and Marcia for Tuesdays on the Run. Today we’re talking about race memorabilia. Do you display it? Toss? Repurpose? In all honestly, I am still in the “I-want-all-the-race-memorabilia”- phase. The reward-system works for kids, and it still works for me. It’s nice to get a sticker medal at the…
Earlier this month, I was lucky to get to travel to Colorado for work. I’d never been and was excited, both to visit a new state and to participate in a really cool workshop. One that I had been looking forward to for months! I’ve worked on a lot of different, sometimes menial tasks for…
On Sunday, after my first run of my new training cycle, I had a craving for something sweet and remembered that I wanted to try and make “protein waffles”. I don’t make waffles, pancakes and the like very often, so I don’t feel too guilty indulging every once in a while. I got to satisfy my craving…
Oh boy, this article “The problem is not women running alone“on Runner’s World got my blood boiling. I wish every guy in the world would read this and think about it for a minute or five. This is women’s reality. 15+ Celebrity couples that prove that love can last forever. (Well, let’s say ‘for a…
I know, I know. We’ve lived in our house for 7+ months now *gasp* and I still haven’t given you the big tour. The reason is that there is still so much more I want to do to this space, but purchasing ALL THE NEW THINGS requires time. We’ve made a few investments already, but there are…
You guys, I did it. I finished the 2nd half marathon course in the 2016 San Francisco marathon event on July, 31. What an amazing experience! Since this was my first half marathon ever, I didn’t have any specific time goals, although my training plan had aimed to prepare me for a 2:15:00 finish. But since I…
