Location:North Bend WA USA 98045

I'm a lucky woman who loves her life. I have an amazing husband who makes me laugh and challenges me all at the same time I have two very young, bright, funny, entertaining children and a job I love as a physcial therapist. In my free time, I'm a runner (slow but sure), a hiker, a writer (at least by avocation), and a human jungle gym for my little ones. This is my third 1/2 marathon, along with a couple fulls, but my first foray back into distance running since the two back-to-back little ones. (My running partner's favorite fact about me is that my kids are 363 days apart.) It's also my first attempt at any type of blogging, and I'm basically computer illiterate, so hang in there with me.

A day with T.

March 20th, 2008 by writeontherun

I dropped my daughter off at preschool and drove quickly to the gym to make my 9:30 class. Felt great, and had a couple hours with just my son afterwards. My mom and I go to the same gym, so she was there as well and came to story hour with us. Ever seen a giddy 3-year old? Picture my son reveling in the full attention of not just me, but grandma too. And no sister to share the limelight. He’s a happy kid usually, but he was over the moon!

Then we had lunch. The kid was crazy! Telling stories, jokes, giggling. It was a pretty fun afternoon. My favorite part? (Or, as my son always asks, “what was your favorite part of today, mommy?”) In the car on the way home, he started singing “On the road again. I just can’t wait to get on the road again.” A 3 year old off key rendition of John Denver. I’m still not sure where he learned it, but as my family of 5 took a 3 week vacation in the 1970s in a Volkswagen bug with only one John Denver tape for entertainment, I have my suspicions. That was a long 3 weeks.

Poor chunks of fun!

March 20th, 2008 by writeontherun

She’s been demoted from the four mile runs. Truth be told, she’s limping a little more than we’d like and we can’t tell yet if it her paw or a touch of puppy osteoarthritis. She’s going on gentle 1 mile walks, then getting left home for the remainder of the run. (And I have to admit, just running with one puppy is so easy and fun! Kinda like spending a day with just one kid.) The good news is that the running and puppy diet did something-she can jump up into the car independently, something she didn’t do for a year. We’ll see if we’re headed for the vet in the next couple of days.

there oughta be a law.

March 15th, 2008 by writeontherun

if taking a very crowded class at the gym, you are compelled for some asinine reason to bring your bigger-than-a-refrigerator bag into the studio with you, put it in the front of the room. it’s bad enough to have to squeeze into the back row without having to kick all your bags too!
