Mad Libs, #SweatPink style

One of the things I love about the #sweatpink sisterhood is some of the challenges involve mad libs. Trust me when I say these are huge hits around my family table at holidays, non-#sweatpink style.

Coffee, Anyone?

About ten days ago, I ran out of coffee in my house. Now, my normal pattern is to get up in the morning and immediately make a French press of coffee. I prefer a dark roast.

Happy Day!

Yes, today! It’s National Running Day. Last month there was National Walking Day. I love to run. I love to walk. What I want, though – and haven’t seen or heard of yet,  is National Move It Day. Running is fantastic. I never thought I would run a 5K, let alone a marathon. That was… Continue reading Happy Day!
