First off — Welcome to the new and improved Running with Attitude! After announcing on more than one occasion that I wanted to move from Blogger to a self-hosted site I’ve finally made it happen — Thanks hugely to Rita at Blog Genie, who I swear has the patience of a saint for answering all of my many questions 🙂
As for the Blizzard of 2013, I’m happy to say the RWA household had a good time. Despite the incredible winds and 24 inches of snow, we didn’t lose power and all around us seems pretty intact. There were lots of movies, games, snow fort building, snowball fights, cooking, laughing and, yes shoveling. The only downside is school is closed again today which means at this rate my boys won’t finish the school year until June 26th! (But that’s a bridge I guess we’ll cross later)
I’m also thrilled to say to I’m teaming up with running coach Bennett Cohen again! Bennett specializes in coaching women boomers (yes those of us 40 and older), and if you’ve been around here for a bit then you know he helped guide me to three PRs last fall. Bennett’s going to help me get ready for my spring goal race, Boston’s Run to Remember. We’ve got 15 weeks and it starts today!
How was your weekend?
The new site looks awesome Michelle! We had a snowy weekend here too, but now it’s back to normal!
CONGRATS ON THE SELFHOSTED!!
you shall adore 🙂
That is a late school finish! Good luck with the coach and training. Glad you are all okay with the storm 🙂
We had a few years when I was a kid that ended late due to snow. Hopefully if they have to go late in June they have air conditioning!
I’m very intrigued by the idea of a running coach. I keep thinking I want to do it, but I’m not sure the best way of going about it. Sounds like having a coach sure helped you! Hope you have the same success this time around!
Chris I will say working with a coach was one of the best decisions I’ve made – really learned a lot and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. The trick is finding someone you click with which can be easier said than done!
The site looks great! I really love how “clean” the style is. And I love the picture of you at the top. Great job!
Glad you survived Nemo. It really brings back memories of snowmageddon for me. (not really good ones!). My kids went until the end of June that year, too. It really makes for a short summer. : (
The blog looks great! 🙂
DIIIZAANG look at this beautiful site!!! I love it!
Can’t wait to see what the year brings with your coach!
The new design looks fabulous! Coach for boomers? I may have to investigate this. I’ve always been intrigued by the prospect of a coach but never pulled the trigger.Glad you were safe and enjoyed the snow!
Congrats on moving! Love the new blog. Glad you had a fun time in the snow!
Love your new look Michelle!! I’m so glad you didn’t lose power. I was happy to have just the usual 10 inches or so of snow we get during a storm : )
