I don’t know what this is so scary, but I finally sent an overdue email yesterday: And that was that. My first-ever full skin appraisal with a dermatologist is scheduled for February 23rd.

Great to See You With Your Clothes On!
The Boy and I went to his running group’s end-of-season dinner party this weekend. The greeting of the evening seemed to be, It’s great to see you with your clothes on! Meaning, of course, wearing street clothes instead of running clothes. But still… No surprise, The Boy is the fastest runner. And he’s the craziest: […]
I’m Glad I Ran 18 Miles Yesterday
1. Now I know I can run 18 miles…pretty critical as I work towards achieving two big goals (more on that later this week!) 2. I have all day today to recover from running 18 miles yesterday. Enough said about that! 3. I looked out the window after getting out of a long hot soak […]
Welcome New Year!
Last year, before we ran a very chilly New Year’s Day 5-mile run, our our good friend John said, You know, if we do this one more time it will be a tradition. This morning we found ourselves at White Rock Lake in Dallas, ready to run another New Year’s Day 5-miler. Amazing, huh? Not […]
A Good Run
The Boy and I – finally enjoying a free Saturday morning – ran the Dallas Jogg’r Egg Nogg’r yesterday. And gosh, did we ever have a great run! The mug above proves it. Look at the other side: The Boy brought home the mug – he finished 5th in his age group, with a time […]
My Favorite Marathon Man Photo
Yeah, we all think he’s a nice guy. But take a look at this photo of Marathon Man from last weekend: Can’t spot him? Here’s a close-up: That’s right – our friend, S, caught Marathon Man man-handling a slow-poke runner out of his way!! Awesome. When confronted with the photo…after we all stopped laughing…Marathon Man […]
By the Numbers
My 2nd half-marathon. Final time: 2:40:09 Last year: 2:46:24 Not a bad race – not a bad race at all. So much for feeling unprepared! You can tell that I knew it was a better race even as I was on the last .1 mile turn: I’ve noticed that when I run, it’s all about […]
Let’s Just Get Something Clear…
…we’re barely ready. Here we are, at another race on another weekend in another city. And I must say, that after all these years, you’d think we would have our act together. But no. We didn’t pack until late last night (after the Mavs game), the best friends arrived late, we left a bit late […]
Challenge Issued…Challenge Accepted
I’m tackling another 101 in 1001 Challenge: Take a multivitamin daily for a year. Even as I type this, I’m slightly depressed. I thought my self-imposed challenge was to take a multivitamin daily for one month. What on earth was I thinking? Anyway, it’s on. It’s me versus the multivitamin. {Title reference: Friends episode 4.12}
10 on 10-10-10
This weekend, The Boy ran his first marathon of the 2010-2011 season: the first annual Tyler Rose Marathon. He wasn’t really trained up for the event, but wanted to run because Tyler is his hometown. There are kinks in any new marathon, and the Rose was no different, plus it was 88F by the end […]
