Things that have happened:I got a new job. This has coincided with a decline in my training - some motivational issues and some busy-ness have collided to equal missed workouts. Mostly, I'm training so I can eat lots of desserts, which has always been my biggest underlying theme for many years.Logan turned two. This kid - so cute and so boy. My friend explained it best: they are totally bipolar. One minute he is happy and 2 seconds later he...

oops
Posted on 5:05 PM by Unknown
Yeah, I'll get back here one of these days. The end of November was busy traveling to and from Florida for Thanksgiving and then I started a new job the very next week. For those of you who don't know (and it seems there might be a lot because I get "Oh, I didn't know you had a regular job" from lots of people) I have a regular old sit at a computer all day job as a financial analyst. I also coach, but it is a side job that I love, not a full time job that pays the bills (or has insurance). Anyways, I had been at the same company for 6 years and...

Turkey Trot in Jax
Posted on 5:17 PM by Unknown
Thanksgiving is not complete without a Turkey Trot. In Jacksonville, they have a really big one (1/2 Marathon and 8K) but my sister told us about one in Ponte Vedra Beach that is much more low key and didn't start until 9am. This was way more up our alley.Original plan: Marty push Logan in the 5KReality: Whoah it was cold! We weren't really expecting that - I mean I'm not a total idiot and did check the weather before we left but when I woke up that morning the 'feels like' temperature was 30 degrees. We opted to leave Logan at the house since...

Listening to football on the radio
Posted on 4:41 PM by Unknown
I have all sorts of stuff to talk about - life changes, traveling, but right now I'm going to talk about radio broadcasts of college football games.Interesting topic, no? It's only because on our what is typically 7 hours for most people but is 8.5 for the Gaal's drive back from Jacksonville, Florida, we listened to two football games on Sirius Satellite (best money ever spent, by the way, getting satellite radio).First up was the Florida/Florida State game. Marty went to FSU and I have always not liked UF so cheering for the Seminoles is second...

It Marches On
Posted on 7:53 AM by Unknown
I can't keep up with everything that's going on with us on this blog, and I'm pretty sure most wouldn't want to hear absolutely. everything. that happens with us. Here are some highlights from the past week.Logan got his first haircut this past Thursday. I never understood prior to having a child how this could be an emotional event. And lest you think this is some bad foreshadowing, I wasn't emotional about it at all. I can kind of understand now...

I know, I know
Posted on 1:43 PM by Unknown

It's been awhile. It's not you, it's me. Seriously - life has been very busy so not having anything going on is NOT why I haven't blogged. Work has been crazy and just getting through each day with enough time to hang out with Logan and Marty has been tough. Marty is now done with the cross country season which is great for me (no more Bri-neglect). He had a great season and the kids absolutely love him, so I try and keep my complaining to a minimum....

5K for Two
Posted on 7:35 AM by Unknown

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This past weekend Marty was in full geeked-out triathlon mode. This entailed riding his bike with a few other OSB’ers to Wilmington (121 miles), and then ‘Swimming the Loop’ which is a 3.5 mile open water swim on Sunday. This left me and Junior Awesome to our own devices.We kissed...
