Okay, my summer did not involve any vacation unless you call trips to take kids to college and a trip for a wedding vacations. They are all just part of parenting. I did, though, think a great way to show you what my summer was like would be to post a slide show. Stay tuned,… Continue reading Summer Vacation
Winner! Winner! No chicken dinner here, though. Just a registration to run the toughest road race in America. I went to random.org and plugged in the numbers 1 and 12. The website generated the number 9. I counted Tracy’s reply to one of her comments in the number and to get to number 9. The… Continue reading Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner
I love a challenge. I am all about setting goals and overcoming obstacles in my fitness life. When I went to California last fall for my mother’s 70th birthday, I looked for a race to run. I could have run a fairly flat 5K in Palm Springs but I chose, instead, to run the Palm… Continue reading My Love of Challenges and a Giveaway
Do you love comfort food? I know I do but I also know what it does to my waist line. Like most runners, I have a love affair with pasta. Like a good majority of women, I have a hate of pasta – or maybe it is just carbs in general. I was really happy… Continue reading Skinny Mac and Cheese

We may not have headed off on a big vacation but we have had a good time. Consequently, despite my best attempts – even downloading a WordPress app… Continue reading Come Visit ViewSPORT with Me
So Wednesday night was the night. I ran my first race since running two marathons in the month of May. No, this is not the way I planned my race schedule. This is the way it worked out as I ended up injured after Buffalo. The run was not pretty. I realized I had really… Continue reading Women’s Distance Festival 5K Recap
Do you belong to FourSquare? Do you even know what FourSquare is? FourSquare is a location check-in app. I had a FourSquare account before I had a smartphone. I would check in via text message. I have to admit I forget to check in some places. Also, I cannot check in at some locations as… Continue reading FourSquare Anyone?
What a weekend! I truly believe my sister is trying to keep me busy, afraid I am going to be all weepy and depressed with my youngest having flown the coop last Monday. The truth is far from that as I am happy he is settling into college life – at least I think he… Continue reading Weekend Recap
