I am a mom who runs. I run errands. I run the vacuum cleaner. I run the dishwasher. I run kids places. I run the household.

I also run on roads, on trails and on beaches ~ my favorite!

Run alongside me as we inspire, encourage and motivate one another to run Farther, run Faster and run Fearless.

Running here...Running there...

A good article here on how to start running...

RunningSkirts.com has a sale on here.

My friend, Jen, and I ran the Bust Your Belly & Buns Bridge today! We walked on the beach, too. All in all we did 7.17 miles.
I told Jen I was feeling "all Richard Simmons" today with my light green running shorts trimmed in white and my loose white running tank. Something about those two pieces made me feel a bit Richard Simmonsy.


And I was feeling all good about myself when a cyclist passed us and said, "Good Morning, Legs."


Actually I really thought he was talking to Jen anyway because, you know, I was feeling all RSy. And she's the one with the legs.
These are mine. Kinda short.


But then Jen said, "No, he said, 'Good morning LAdies.' "
Oh. Okay.

In my defense, my ears were stopped up the entire 7.17 miles! I blame it on my Richard Simmonsesque running shorts. Or maybe it's all those perms I used to get in the 80's.

I HEART this running skirt. Cute, huh? (found at runningskirts.com)
Do you ever run in a skirt?


I received a cannister of MixMyGranola the way I like it from a friend. She sent me the "runner's mix." It was SOOOOO good. I ate it by the handful and also in a bowl with milk.
I contacted the company and they offered a 10% discount. Use this coupon code: GRANOLA10.

Well...gotta run!


~ what's up with the picture placement? sometimes this happens...i don't know. anyone have a clue?

  1. Where have you been all of my life?? And I love that skirt. I would love to try running in a skirt. You wouldn't believe the get-ups I run in. And at least you've been called "White Girl" while running.

  2. I just found your site and I love it! You're so inspirational. I've been a runner for almost 20 years and since babies I only run in a skirt. However, I fashion my skirt with NIKE compression shorts, cut the bun huggers out of the skirts I get from the exact link you have, a little sewing and voila! A running skirt made just for my Irish thighs! Shorts just ride up and I spend my whole run tugging, fussing, and cursing the shorts and their maker.

  4. Have mercy, no... I don't run in a skirt. My thighs would be rubbing together all over the place, and I'd have a bad burn for sure! Long bike shorts for me... believe me when I tell you I've tried everything. But if I had legs like those, I'd wear a skirt too and some high heels to boot!

  5. Melanie,
    A friend of mine just returned from a trip to CA where she went to Richard Simmons' aerobic class! She videotaped him on her camera as he talked to her best friends' grandmother on the tele. Then, my friends' boyfriend called her and Richard asked to speak with him too! It was a hilarious video. She says he is a very nice man.
    Just had to share that one!
