I think I skipped a week. I think no one cares. Let’s move on. Last week was the final week of the Mama Beasts’ winter challenge and I’m sort of disappointed that it’s over. I think I’m going to start giving myself imaginary points for workouts, non-Cheeze-Its dinners and routine “me” time. Points are weirdly motivating. They also distract (sort of) from the actual work — the past few…

Today: 21 hours.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Monday was a long day. I was awake (and mostly functioning) for 21 hours straight. When you’re up and about for that long, you’re bound to see some shi things. 4:00 AM Nick was planning to take an early class at CrossFit Southie, so when…

Today: Get ready to go to bootcamp.

Today: Stanley Cupcakes.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’ve been doing a lot of anxious baking lately: Crusty white bread for Bloggers Bake for Hope Blueberry crisp Molasses cake And the pièce de résistance: Whoopie pies! Something about a high stake athletic event makes me want to retreat to the kitchen.…

Today: Run for your lives.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Happy National Running Day! And Happy 1st Day of June! I’m sure there are plenty of other things to be happy about… so Happy Everything Else, too! I always love the start of a new month (and clearly, exclamation points). With the big…

Today: Do as I say, not as I do.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Please file this post under, Do as I say, not as I do. Here’s what I say: If you get drilled so hard in the face by a soccer ball that your contact lens falls out, and an hour later, you can’t remember…

Today: Early bird special.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Today, instead of devoting 58 minutes to trying on five thousand work outfits, and subsequently forming a Mt. Saint Helens of clothes on our bedroom floor, I went for a run. What brought about this deviation from my normal routine of wasting time,…
