WE DID IT: no breaks, no stops, no walking! We officially RAN our 5K. The Chamblee Run and Rotary Roll started and ended infront of the Epps hanger in the Peachtree DeKalb airport. It was a pretty chilly morning, at 54 degrees, and there were a few raindrops along the way. But as soon as we […]

We only count pink cars
If you have ever been in the car with Charles and I for an extended period of time, chances are you have heard us enthusiastically shout “Yellow Car” If not, it is worth knowing that we play a car game created by my nephew when he was 5. The rules are simple: be the first to point […]
Spring Cleaning
This week Charles and I made the journey down to south Atlanta to watch the Braves take on the Royals. What an amazing game! The Braves where down by one when they had a monstrous 8th inning. Heyward, J Upton and Uggla hit 3 homeruns in 4 at bats, securing the win for the Bravos. Even better than […]
3 Miles Down
The Chastain loop where we do all of our training is exactly 3.13 miles (5K). Of the 230 feet of elevation in the course, 130 occur in the last mile. In that final mile, the climbs are spread over a few “bumps in the road” and two grueling hills. Including a 76 foot climb over the last 0.4 miles of the […]
Sunrise “Golden Hour”
No matter who you ask, as long as they claim to know anything about photography, they will all tell you that the “best” light happens an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset, give or take. This is such a known commodity that this time period is referred to as the “golden hour” or […]
Next stop…. PGA Tour
Okay, okay, maybe not “the next stop”. There might be a few (million) stops along the way before I become a professional golfer, but today I took the very first step in that challenge. For a little back story, my golf “career” got started a little later than I would have like. My dad’s stance […]
The Yellow Jackets of Spring
This morning we went to the second, and final, open Saturday morning scrimmage of the spring. The Yellow Jackets were swarming the field and from what I know of football, they were looking pretty good. Charles’ more critical eye reports that they were an average “swarm” and there was nothing much to report one way or another. At […]
Mint for Two – Ready for the World!
We are officially launching our cooking website, MintforTwo.com, to the masses today! Sharing the page on social media sites like Facebook and Pinterest, with our co-workers, and friends has been something we have wanted to do, but were not satisfied with the page layout or content until today. Mind you, we will still be making formatting edits and changes as […]
Oh my humid!
So it was only 75 degrees last night – but I have never been so hot in my life. The humidity was 69% and the pollen count was at 800. Not to mention the tornado warning and winds at 10 -16 MPH, but I digress… The run was great! We knew that we needed to push ourselves […]
We are not runners
We are not runners, have never been runners. To us running is what happens when you want to get out of the rain in a hurry. However, a friend of ours inspired us when he invited us to run through the Sonoma countryside when we all go to California in May. We both thought this […]
