Racing season is upon us!
Short updates today…more soon, I promise!
I won’t be back at McNaughton this year after all. Too much stuff going on, unfortunately
It looks like the first race of the season will be a local trail 5K, followed by a local (right down the street from me!) road 10K
I’m still working on moving this blog to my […]

Odds and Ends
Ephemera floating around my cluttered mind…
I’m probably way late to the game on this one, because I have my little system in place and I’m not in weight loss mode. But I just now discovered SparkPeople. It’s an online weight-loss planning/tracking/motivating and more tool and it’s FREE. I poked around a little yesterday and it […]

Greg’s dreams come true
He was picked to be onstage at the Adventurer’s Club TWICE in the same night! We only went to two shows in the library and he was picked both times.

A baby!
On December 31, 2005, Brayden Schultz was born to Rose’s best friend, Tiffany, and Tiff’s husband, David.
Rose had the privilege of actually being there — helping, even! — for the birth.
Tiffany was there (obviously). David was there. Tiff’s mom, Sharon, was there. Rose was tapped to videotape, but about an hour before the birth, Tiff […]

A new beginning
(Sorry. I just had to start the new year off with a cliche!
Greg’s nearly packed. I haven’t started, but that’s my goal for the day. He’s off the entire week, I’m only off Thursday. I’m going to try to get off Wednesday, too, so I can head out to metro-Detroit for a hug […]

Odds and ends at year end
I had a Disney nightmare last night. I dreamed that we were "doing the marathon." I kept asking aloud why the marathon was on Saturday…the half was supposed to be first! For some reason, we were wearing jeans instead of running clothes and we were walking instead of running. As we finished, we started grocery […]

Runners Who Rock
I was flattered when Neca tagged me with a meme called "Runners who rock." Being a consistently slow (and slow, but consistent!) runner, I never think of myself as "rocking." (I more thinking of myself as rolling….) But I guess we can all rock in our own way, right?
As part of the meme, I must […]

Of luck, work, and energy
"The harder I work, the luckier I get."
I ran across this quote, attributed to Samuel Goldwyn, earlier this week. Aaron and I had just had an extensive discussion about "luck." He thinks life is a total crapshoot. I think that, to a certain extent, we make our own luck.
Then today, I had to […]

Hitting the wall and more
There has been a thread on one of my mail lists about what to do when you "hit the wall" in a marathon.
I can’t say I’ve ever actually hit the wall (or have I conveniently forgotten it, kind of like the work of childbirth?). But the marathon (or ultramarathon) is just like life. There are […]

Disney extension?
Could Greg actually talk me into a longer vacation in Disney World? If so, you’ll be the first to know!
(It would be nice to actually have time in the parks instead of just running through them and not riding rides.

See the name Marshall on my reads list to the right? Go on over […]
