The Mud Mafia
Trish, Dave, Kendall, Jim,Tony, Melissa, Carrie, Chris My racing team had a VERY exciting weekend! We had our inaugural race as a team in the form of the 18th Annual Beer and Bagel Run in Ashland, NE. I had a really lucky start by landing the #1 bib number for the race. It was a…
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive…
Random Awesomeness…
There are two things I adore: random and using the word “awesome”. I recently found an awesome website that has both! 1000 Awesome Things is a site that updates each day with a new something that’s awesome. It was launched June, 2008 and counting down a new awesome thing every weekday. Current number is #385.

November 2, 2010 Nutrition and Training
Tuesday was yet another day of prepping for Sunday’s race. I ran three miles at 8:00 min/mile pace to give my legs a good stretch but not overdoing it. I ran a really great, flat, route out to Anchor Inn and back with a good friend from work. I usually run alone, but it’s nice…

Food and Training:I am sorry I didn’t get this up yesterday! I had a great Saturday! Eating-wise, I went out to eat with my girls and a friend last night at Cheeseburger and Paradise and was able to stay on target very easily with a turkey burger without a bun (to stay Gluten-free) and a…
Lasting Moments…
I had a really profound moment with my older daughter tonight. It is a moment that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. As I have mentioned before, I coach a competitive girls soccer team and I really love doing it! All my girls are amazing! My daughter Taylor is one of…
Friday, October 29th Nutrition and Training
DAY ONE: Friday, October 29, 2010 First of all, I am NOT a nutritionist and I am NOT a personal trainer. I also picked a great week to do this since Halloween is Sunday! Rest assured, I’ll track everything I eat and drink so that it’s accruate, even if that includes a Kit Kat or some…
