Over at Another Mother Runner, a quick round-up of the last couple of weeks.

This was made live last week (I think) but I've been both busy and not. A little bit about my dog and running, over at another mother runner.

First, a shameless promo: Some runs inspire hate, over at Another Mother Runner.

• It will make your food salty. 
• How fearless they seemed.
• The noble monk seal.
• Sigh.
• If only all government entities had the sense of fun the CDC does.
• Yes, I am this kind of nerd.
• I wonder if I could get a zoning variance.
• My place of employment has worked for years and years on this very problem.

Let me tell you about my weird run last weekend, over at Another Mother Runner....

I'm a little behind in getting these links out. I blame 2018.

Two pieces of me over at Another Mother Runner:

• For your ears, a podcast with ESPN's Kate Fagan about her book What Made Maddy Run, which is about a collegiate athlete who commits suicide.
• For your eyes, a recap of running 13.1 in a Nor'easter this weekend.

My latest post over at Another Mother Runner is live (alive, I say)! In it, I talk about my next adventure...

Over at Another Mother Runner: I finally do a thing I've long trained for. It was way hard and way cool.

My latest Dry Martini column is live over at Another Mother Runner. This one is a potpourri of weather, PRs, and Florence.

I’d be lying if I said things weren’t a little chaotic with a new, pony-sized doggo in the house. He and the corgi have had a few teeth-bared and all-the-growling arguments (one of which ended with her entire head in his mouth, which shaved about a decade off of my life) but then lay down together for naps so it seems to just be a part of figuring out the pack order. My bets are on the corg coming out on top. Though she be but little, she is fierce. And stubborn. And bossy.

As for Lobo, he’s taking it in stride:

I’m starting to think about writing a children’s book. It would be about how hard it is to adjust to a new sibling, especially when that new sibling seems to take up all the space (both literal and emotional) in the house. Anyone good at drawing dogs?

Also: I may need to up my vacuuming routine.

In other news, my latest Dry Martini column, which contains no dogs but does involve pictures of the beach. 

Over at the Another Mother Runner blog: How I won Beach to Beacon.

Also: a reminder -- winter is coming. You will need mittens. Let me knit some for you.
