As you well know, I won’t be touching the turkey. I might touch the sweet potatoes, though. Multiple times. Tomorrow is all about being thankful, which is easy when you have so much: good health, strong faith, the love of a lifetime, parents who lead…

Today: Back in the saddle. And in the ring.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After spending nearly two weeks whining (which, it turns out, does not count as exercise), I successfully made it through an hour of fighter conditioning at the boxing gym, and a soccer game (we won, finally) nearly pain-free. My little foot is on…

Today: Not now, Atlantic puffin.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Earlier this year I went on a puffin expedition with every intention of spotting that little clay guy from Elf. Needless to say, that didn’t happen. Also needless to say, I need to brush up on wildlife. While in Maine, Nick and I…

As I’ve mentioned once before, marathons aren’t easy. That’s sort of the point. This past weekend’s ING NYC Marathon nearly broke my foot (or maybe it did? I haven’t made it under an X-ray device quite yet.), but New York City stole my heart. It’s…

Today: The waiting game.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am pretty sure I have packed any and everything I could possibly need for this weekend. And then some. I’ve looked at the course map more times than I can count, and Googled “how to get to the Staten Island ferry” more…

Today: Running wild in my backyard.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]One of the many great aspects of condo living is the fact that you’re not really responsible for what happens outside of your three rooms (unless, like, a meteor hits the roof or some other disaster or general building decay occurs). While it…
