Shamrock Shuffle
Yes, it’s been awhile. I will hopefully get pics from the race added to this at some point. Pics do exist, trust me. Pat and Hal made another trip up for the Shammie Shuffle (I think more so for the post-race nosh at Salt Hill 😉 ) Weather was sunny and cool. Debated gloves, but […]

Running Along
Shhh. Don’t tell Ben. I do secretly wish sometimes (a very small amount of the time) that we had the interwebs so that I can write more frequently. I am forced to wait until Fridays when I work at a school that has high speed. My work computer is woefully slow and outdated and often […]

End Week One 5k training
One week closer to the start of race season. Started with some speed work last week. Unfortunately, all of my running is happening on the treadmill at the gym because of the winter weather. I’m hoping that the snow will stop at some point this weekend and I can get out at least one of the days […]

Gluten Cut-Back
As with many other things in this economy – jobs, wages, still not having internet- another cut back will befall the House of Beamy. This one by choice. We’ve decided to do a little experiment to see if cutting back on wheat will help with the state of our tummy affairs. Ben has been complaining […]

I’m BAAAAACK
Day One of training. AND…it’s a rest day. I love starting training this way! Mondays and Fridays will be rest days during my 5k training, depending on my schedule. I am planning to hit the gym today, regardless, for some elliptical to keep the old legs pumping. Tomorrow will start the running portion of training. […]

5 at 34…And I’m Back!
So another year on this planet runs by. Yesterday was my 34th birthday and I went for a 5 mile run outside in the snow/slush. It was very sunny out, cold. I wore yak-tracks on my sneakers which made it possible to run up and down some hills. It was a slow run and it […]

The Reaper Caught the Runner
It is with much sadness that I report that the Running from Reaper podcast is ending. I have been running with Nigel for some time now, following him running alongside the canal near where he lives in England. A regular guy, sharing his thoughts on training, running, bread making, birds, and whatever else catches his […]

Final Bakin’ Around the Christmas Tree
And for my final weekend…started off making candy cane cookies. Cookie dough that not’s very sweet with crushed candy canes folded in. The candy canes add the sweetness and melt during baking to form a caramelized crust at the edges. Next was the roll-out sugar cookies. I was very impressed with the final results. I’m […]

A New Running Season Begins
Tis the season for signing up for races and I made it into the Covered Bridges Half Marathon (June 5) and The Road to the Pogue (May 14). Covered Bridges sold out quickly again and I managed to get my iPhone chugging away at 7pm on Monday night when registration opened. Pogue is a little […]

Bakin’ Again Around the Christmas Tree
So weekend two of my holiday baking included candy cane frosted brownies for my crafty gals holiday brunch (with an extra batch of frosting for a yellow cake for Ben and I). Also peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies for my work cookie swap tomorrow. I finished up the weekend with another batch of chocolate […]
