Let's forgive me for not getting to this until what is essentially the second week of September, ok? Seeing that the school year is beginning so late, I've kind of been pretending that this past weekend was Labor Day. But, without further ado... For the third year in a row, I completed the Warrior Dash … Continue reading Moms@Work – August posts

The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
Yesterday, I mastered my third consecutive Warrior Dash down in Windham. How was it, you ask? Well...it was really hard - maybe the hardest one yet, for me. A beautiful foggy early morning had turned into a sunny and bright late morning and the temperature had somehow crept up into the 80s. When I jumped … Continue reading The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*

I did get some quality exercise walking good distances nearly every day, but my greatest exercise may have come from pacing myself when it came to beer and wine consumption. I wrote about getting exercise … Continue reading An exercise in acceptance
St. Patrick’s Day ~ 2013
On the weeks when I work two double shifts, I struggle to get my miles in. In addition to being somewhat obsessive about exercise, I am also mistress of the rationalization so, I console myself on these alternating weeks with the fact that I get some physical activity running up and down the stairs at … Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day ~ 2013
