With Thanksgiving tomorrow, I’m taking it easy this week with just one post. This is our last Thanksgiving before Scott’s parents move so we’ll be celebrating with friends tomorrow, then relaxing, holiday merrymaking, and attending Genghis Con, Cleveland’s underground comic convention, on Sunday. Amid all that we’re also getting ready…
UPDATE: Many thanks to everyone who helped me reach my fundraising goal for The Gathering Place’s Race for the Place 5K. It’s still not too late to donate. Some quick blogkeeping: Congratulations, entry # 18, Sarah @ Cooker Girl – Random.org selected your entry in my giveaway for a $100 Provenance gift certificate. I’ll…

So after Run for the Pierogies, I decided I wanted to keep up with it and started asking around for other race recommendations. When Alicia told me she was going to celebrate her one-year anniversary of running with…
When I woke up on Saturday, it felt like Christmas morning. However, the excitement and adrenaline weren’t for unwrapping presents under the tree. It was raceday – my first 5K. After Alicia at Poise in Parma announced that July 9th’s Ohio Blogging Meetup would be The Run for the Pierogies, it was the motivator I…
