So after gooshing all over the blog for Mother’s Day, I had a similar post planned for Father’s Day. But between working, training, and preparations for our US trip, I didn’t ever actually write the post, anywhere other than in my head. My Dad, the gracious (and forgetful!) guy that he is may not have even noticed, but […]
There’s lots to blog about trip-wise, but for now, let me offer you a glimpse into how we celebrate the Fourth of July, Run With Holly style! 1. Alarm at 5:30 AM. Consume red, white, and (unfortunately) no blue breakfast (quinoa, Greek yogurt, raspberries). In retrospect, I wish I’d taken 30 seconds to wash a […]
First things first: Singaporean runners, never fear. I know, I know – we missed the chance for a Group Cheer Squad at the Mt. Faber Run this weekend. I’m super bummed myself. But I’m sure we all agree that postponing the run (because of the haze, if you’re just tuning in) was a prudent idea. BUT […]
Let’s kick this off on a serious (but oft over-looked note): Extra love to all of you out there today who are, for whatever reason, missing your Mamas. Maybe they’re far away (physically or emotionally), or have already come and gone from this world. I can’t imagine how hard this day is for you. Ditto for […]
*Note: This post has NOTHING to do with running, plantar fasciitis, the gym, science, or food. It hardly has anything to do with Singapore. However, it *does* have to do with toilets (tee hee hee!), so read on! I posted the following on Facebook yesterday: “Place I do not value creativity: On the signs differentiating […]
First, a bit of housekeeping. We seem to be experiencing a sudden burst of popularity over here at Run With Holly. [Thanks, Venus Run organizers!] So, for those of you who have just recently found your way over here: Let me extend a hearty WELCOME!! Thanks for the click!! [Venus Run has also set up […]
We’ve all heard the complaint: “Social Media *Insert Name* is so fake. People only put up photos of scrumptious-looking food, cute babies, and vacations. They never write about the hard stuff (or ugly babies), and they just try to make their life look perfect.” For the record, as long as your content is legal and respectful, […]
Sorry, folks – I neglected a very important introduction yesterday. I’ll get back to 2012’s Running Review shortly. But first, some clarification, in case you were worried about the seemingly random stranger who jumped into my previous post. You know, that sweaty (so was I, as you can see from my shirt) guy in the […]
I don’t like frilly lace. I don’t like glitter. And I don’t like lots of pomp and circumstance. So while January 1 would have made for a symbolic and easy-to-remember Blogiversary (and I’d never forget to buy the blog chocolates, flowers, etc.), it just didn’t really feel like the right day for a first post. […]
