[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Nick and I got to Castle Island early yesterday morning, only to be confronted by an angry deliriously happy mob of pugs. We met our friends Tina and Mal, and their pug Murphy, for the inaugural Pug Rescue of New England 5k, a small,…

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: 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,…

Today: Some days you’re the bug.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Some days you’re the bug, and some days you’re the windshield. Splat. [Photo source] Yesterday, I was running late, which seems to be the theme of the week, and was just about to make the bed and dash out the door, when our…

Today: Seven in the rain.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the first time, and likely last time, ever I outran Nick this weekend… um, but only because he got injured at last week’s soccer game. We planned to stay close to our little team’s home base at the South Boston Running Emporium…

Today: The day after Marathon Monday.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Yesterday began much like any other Monday, with me wondering how my toothbrush fell directly into the toilet (don’t worry, I had a new one at the ready) and trying to wrangle Clark in time for Day School drop-off. He’s like a kindergartner,…

Today: Running in secret.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Every once in a while, I run a race by myself. Last year it was the Feed the Need 5k in Hingham’s Wompatuck State Forest. I showed up bright and early, stood like a leper by my lonesome at the starting line with…
