It’s that time of year when everyone is creating ambitious training plans and hitting the gym daily. Not me though, at least not this year. Becoming a mom has taught me a lot about respecting my body. Prior to Cooper my body was a lean machine that frequently had its limits pushed in various races, [...]
As someone who (sort of) formerly worked in the exercise industry, I’m always curious about new exercise programs that come out. When I was doing my student teaching many moons ago, everyone was talking about P90X and how amazing it was. I was skeptical partially because I was way more fit than any of my [...]
Some of you know and others of you might have guessed, but we haven’t been in Colorado for the past month. We’ve been in DC while Noel worked on a month-long assignment for one of the parent organizations of his company. For a month we’ve been posing as a young, hip couple living in [...]
Our exercise accomplishments this past month have been pretty abysmal. We’ve run maybe three times. There have just been a lot of obstacles and it hasn’t happened as much as we would like. At the same time, the past month has presented us with the perfect opportunity to cross a running related goal of our [...]
Last night we tried out a lovely Ethiopian Restaurant that was only a short walk away. We had a delicious utensil-less meal – which was a great cover-up for the etiquette-free-way we typically feed Cooper. We beat the dinner rush and left satisfied.
Two hours later, we put Cooper to bed and decided [...]
Running is one of the biggest tags on this blog, so I know I don’t need to tell you I love it. For me, running has always just been part of life – something as necessary and natural as breathing. There are so many people I’ve met because of running, so many stories both [...]
I’ve spent a large portion of my life being a pedestrian, but have devoted surprisingly little thought to sidewalks. When we decided to rent this house we fell in love with the large yard and quiet neighborhood. It wasn’t until Cooper and I went on a couple of outings that we realized the area wasn’t [...]
Adidas ran a very clever ad campaign in 99/2000 that I have always loved. (I should warn you that you most likely won’t find them funny unless you’re actually a runner; I think this adds to the cleverness.) It’s a shame they aren’t still running it, because while we were going through [...]
Head – I like setting goals. Generally they are very sensible and help me accomplish tasks or grow personally, but sometimes they’re just frivolous. Like this one: Try wearing hats.
Check. Don’t I feel accomplished.
Shoulders – Cooper doesn’t like it when we do things without him. If we try to sit him [...]
The first summer of our marriage was dry and hot. The mountains caught fire, the grass died, and there were so many people at the public pool you could hardly move. I know that’s not uncommon for Utah, but for some reason that summer felt worse than others. It was the first summer we both [...]
