I've just completed one full year back at work, and I've gone the whole time without blogging. Mostly I've been too busy. Sometimes, I've been too miserable. Sometimes still, I've been too excited and happy. You know, . . .... Continue reading

Good News, Bad News

The good news is really good: I got a brand spanking new job, full-time, doing something I've never done before. I get to learn something new and get paid. I get to wear fun clothes and do working lunches and... Continue reading

Thirty-Seven Years

Eight years ago today, I started keeping (sporadically) this blog. I was 29. Today I'm 37, and so far, I'm having a hard time with it. Of course, nothing says "Happy Birthday" like losing your regular freelance job the day... Continue reading

I've done it again, people. I've messed up my lower back. I don't think there was one specific exercise or mile that did it, just the accumulation of running + bad sitting posture + weak abdominals. I'm just guessing about... Continue reading

Complete Muscle Failure (Too Dramatic?)

It seems I don't know my own strength. That is, I don't fully realize how little strength I have. At least when it comes to my upper legs. What I thought was a casual and harmless decision to do some... Continue reading

Almost Wordless Wednesday

This weekend Owen finally made it to the top of the rock at Lake Monticello. This is a Richards tradition, as the school-age Sian and I spent many hours scrambling up and then sliding down this large, sandy boulder. While... Continue reading

1. Yesterday, after listening to a full 10 minutes of my office mate's (read: husband's) conference call on speaker phone, I made a decision: "If I can't focus enough to get some editing done, then I should at least get... Continue reading

This week my running is still not quite back to normal. My lower back continues to feel a bit tight, and in my determination to remain injury free for this summer's marathon training, I'm loathe to push it. That said,... Continue reading

I wish I could say that Puglee there belonged to my son, but truth be told, that cuddly worn-out mess is mine. I just tried to sneak in some last-minute studying with Owen and was met with a groan. It's... Continue reading

If December was a recovery month after the back-to-back fall half-marathons, then January was one really long nap. In January I ran a total of only 38 miles: the least mileage for the entire year. So, I bid adieu to... Continue reading

Random Friday Facts

1. I love stationary, pens, pencils, little notebooks, and pretty postcards. 2. I have some strange, irrational fears: Whenever I turn the oven light on after the oven has already heated up, I'm afraid that it will make the whole... Continue reading

Book Report and Bagel

Spontaneous Ceri took over this morning and contacted a few friends to meet for coffee and bagels. Usually, we do this type of blatant consumerism and carb-loading on Friday mornings; see how wacky I am today! All of us have... Continue reading
