My wedding was one if the most amazing days of my life — Lucas and I had a big party with our friends and family, and made official what we’d already been recognizing unofficially for years…we were together, for better or for worse. So I was thrilled to hear that two of our friends from [...]

Hear That? {crickets}

by Katy on September 25, 2009

The house is too quiet! Lucas is off playing groomsman, the dogs are at the vet and it’s just me and the kitties. Travers is in charge — see how fierce he is? It’s been a busy day, and I’m rushing off to the airport in moments. I had to say goodbye to my favorite [...]

Running is NOT a Sexy Sport

by Katy on September 20, 2009

Post-Run Pool 1

Today was a big day for me. It was my first double-digit run in more than six months and a triumphant one at that, because I tried and failed to run 10 miles a couple of weeks ago. This morning, I thought might be another rough go. I woke up twice with a headache, hit [...]

Happy 100 Posts Day!

by Katy on September 14, 2009
