i did it.

well, Jesus and i did. with a wonderful hubby by my side and lots of encouragement from some great friends. I ran the the Hudson Mohawk Marathon this year. yup, 26.2 miles. Originally the goal was to qualify for the Boston Marathon but as the date sneaked up on me my goal slowly changed to [...]

movie(ries)

I’m not a huge movie fan. i have a hard time sitting still (and awake) for that long. Plus i can think of about 100 other things i should/rather be doing. It can take Mike about a day of prepping me to get me to watch a movie. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal [...]

running a halfie

Sunday, June 28th was my first half marathon ever and my first long race since running the 2005 Walt Disney World Marathon. Mike (what a great supportive hubby i have) and i hit the road around 4:30am arriving @ Jennings Beach in Fairfield CT around 7:30am giving me plenty of time to register and be [...]

typical

i have all these serious blogs jostling around in my head but because my time is consumed with required thoughts for written assignments on exciting things such as the Psychopathological model, they are pushed aside and i humor myself with writing about more of the ridiculous. Which is what this post is all about. Well, [...]

Humerous Happenings

The other day Mike and i went to a newly discover favorite brewpub with another couple. Mike is a bit of a beer snob and only enjoys dark micro brews. he has a few friends who are similar taste and the other couple we went with is ideal. the guy has the same taste as [...]

a runner’s must

In the process of training for a half marathon (at the end of this month) i was googling running on a study break and i stumbled across a few different runner’s blogs.  In one of the blogs i discovered a list of things to buy runners, inspiring me to think of all the things that [...]

Shameful Advantage

Mike and I don’t do much for Valentine’s day. I have to say it was music to Mike’s ears and practical nature when I told him on our first Valentines day that he didn’t need to buy me anything (I meant it too) because it is a commercial holiday that I do not wish to [...]

The world is more exciting when you are stupid

That is what I said to Mike today while we were sitting on one of the Okemo Mountain chair lifts (he thought that should be the name of a sitcom). I noticed we were sitting on the 3rd chair on the lift (each chair is labeled with a number on top of it) and [...]

First Snow

The Thursday before Christmas Upstate NY was hit with a glorious snow storm. That Friday Mike, Molly (Nate had to work) and I took advantage of our free Warren Miller Ski lift tickets @ Stratten Mountain in Vermont. We started our day at 7am (when we told Molly the night before that we would pick [...]

Take me out to the ball game…

I am a die-hard baseball fan. Originally, it was not by choice but by default because I married one and I realized early on if I wanted to spend time with my wonderful husband I would have to learn to love two things: baseball and skiing (skiing will be another blog as we get farther [...]
