on (not) getting over myself

First off, my toe is doing much better. It still hurts and has been turning all sorts of interesting shades of purple over the last few days, but I don’t see any bone poking through, so I think...

does this look broken to you?

Like the graceful and delicate swan I am, last night I plodded straight into the coffee table and smashed my favorite toe. I’d like to say I put on a brave face so I could teach my baby a valua...

things I should have done a long time ago

Bought new running shoes. Adizeros, and they are like being weightless and naked and on PCP on a cloud in heaven. I look really skinny from the ankles down. Ended my running streak. I started feeling...

Operation Glutenful

So it turns out I am one of three remaining people on the planet who still tolerates gluten. Hell, I not only tolerate the shit… But a bunch of people are trying to tell me that gluten is respo...

important events happening in my non-blogging life

It’s been a while. I think I might be losing that talent for daily blogging that some might argue I never had in the first place. Also my talent for writing sentences. Or thinking coherent thou...

A little bitter

I have a love/hate relationship with the Indianapolis 500Fest Mini Marathon (it’s tomorrow). I’ve run it nearly every year since I’ve lived here, except for one year I had a spraine...

HEY GIRL! or: the hilarity of misguided rage

So I used to work at a TV news station. My official title was web content coordinator, but everybody called me Web Girl. It made me feel like a dork superhero. And although I did many important thing...

In lieu of actual content…

I don’t have anything mind-blowing to report, but I did have an iced coffee today. Anyway. The run streak continues. Today was day 11, which is six days more than I’ve ever run consecutiv...

tequila farts

And on the seventh day, she read in Runner’s World about this dude who did a 25-year run streak and she wanted to blow her brains out. Yeah, well. You gotta start somewhere right? You might be ...

WE’RE GOING STREAKING

No, not that kind of streaking. Although that is pretty much how my ass looks right now. I’m talking about a run streak, and today was day 5. And in the grand tradition of me celebrating medioc...

Google this for me (a giveaway, possibly)

So, I was cleaning out my car the other day and came across this: Ah, the elusive note scribbled on a bar coaster. What does it mean? I have no idea! So I am calling on you dear readers to figure it ...

so…

We optimistically ignored the clicking sound coming from the refrigerator all week, until last night when, in typical white suburban middle class fashion, over a nice Mondavi Pinot, we Googled “...

Don’t grumble, give a whistle

3.5 miles. Fat and fat. But it’s okay! I’m looking on the bright side. Why, the view from up on my cross is lovely, thanks for asking! I set out to do a longish/longer/whateverthefuck youw...

the week in decisions

Bad decision: Digging out a pair of Asics Gel Landreth 6s that I wore twice two years ago and hated. I’ve been waking up with creaky ankles and achy feet and I thought maybe in my weakened (rea...

All the way

Even though I’m not in Chicago, and even though I’m not drinking today, and even though the Cubs always lose the season opener, I thought I’d spread a little Wrigley cheer… Ed...

let off some steam, baby

.18: the number of miles (number of mile?) from home we were the baby declared she and the stroller were fucking done professionally. Of course, having just RUN two miles, which is about all I can ma...

Life begins at 4 months

Time to come clean: I’ve been pulling a colossal prank on you for the last year. I DIDN’T REALLY HAVE A BABY. That was just my cat dressed in drag. No, but seriously: on this day one year...

Peepaws watch out

After a hair cut this morning, and then a lawn mower throwing off Queen Baby’s afternoon napping schedule, it didn’t look like I was going to make it out for a run today. Oh, I did manage...

finishing strong and other things that are overrated

So there’s thing in running about finishing strong, maybe you’ve heard about it? People loooove to tell you to “power through!” and “finish strong!” You’re s...

blowing smoke (and smoke beer) up your ass

I went for a nice, casual yuppie mom walk with the baby today instead of running. It was weird, there were kids getting on school buses while I was out doing was felt suspiciously like nothing of sub...

damaged

After finally running out of excuses to keep running on the treadmill, I “ran” outside yesterday like total shit and realized that all a treadmill is good for is having some place to put ...

3 months, 3 miles

Ernest Hemingway said, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” With that in mind, please allow this stinky, messy blood clot of a blog post to com...

what I’m not writing

A blog post about the running I’ve been doing. I have been running, I just haven’t written about it. I’ve done some run-walks, some intervals, some 2 and 3 milers in gale-force wind...

the baby and I make Italian beef and a giant fucking mess

So I don’t normally post recipes anymore, but I was so proud of myself the other day for preparing this delicious meal that I just had to share it. A lot of my “meals” lately have c...

Valentines Haiku

Candle-lit dinner, a romantic comedy, a pearl necklace. Nothing says love like a hatchet, duct tape and a reinforced trash bag. Rachel McAdams you aren’t; and your boyfriend’s got the Cla...

come with me and walk the longest mile

Editor’s note: It’s 4:45 a.m. Please forgive this hastily thrown together post and see the bigger picture: you complete me. Anyone catch the Walking Dead last night? If you were watching ...

two month old, free to good home

It’s been a rough week. Last night, I was all set to make a funny, lighthearted “what I’m drinking” post to commemorate the Super Bowl and Kenzie’s 8-week birthday, exce...

because this blog’s sure as hell not going to write itself

I’ve been trying to write a blog post for more than a week now. I sit down, type out a sentence or two, and am either interrupted by baby stuff or by baby-induced writer’s block. I feel l...

running update part deux

So I was starting to feel like a major badass this week after going to the gym and run/walking on the treadmill for two days in a row. (Doctor cleared me to run, just told me not to do anything stupi...

boozing with baby

Friday night. As if we were posing for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post, we cozied up next to a roaring fire while a gentle snow fell on our fair city, and proceeded to tie one on. Naturally, I...
