I Love You . . : Runfessions May 2017
. . . from a distance I'm doing a duathlon this month: there's a few swimfessions thrown in with my runfessions, because I finally got back in the pool. One time, at least. Not that I'm actually going to be doing any racing that involves swimming; I just swim because it's good cross training and … Continue reading I Love You . . : Runfessions May 2017
But does she win money?
You gotta love the very elderly (aka my Dad). This was the question my Dad asked Mr. Judy when we were at brunch on Mother's Day. Actually, first he asked if I ever won a race. Then he asked if I ever win any money racing. Clearly, my Dad, who raised myself and my two … Continue reading But does she win money?

5 Reasons I’m Stylish
I consider myself a fashionista. In real life and in my running life. I may be a Skirtsports Ambassador, but I wore them before I became an ambassador and even if they didn't continue to choose me as an ambassador, no doubt I'd continue to work as an unofficial ambassador. Today I am joining up with … Continue reading 5 Reasons I’m Stylish

Hit Reset: Revolutionary Yoga for Athletes (Amazon Affiliate link) may just have changed my mind on that score. A Quick Peek Here's a … Continue reading Hit Reset: Book Review
Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Seriously, apparently I can't count. I wanted to move my long runs from Sunday to Saturday -- my next half is a Saturday -- and it never occurred to me that I'd have two long runs in one week -- according to the calendar Rachel @ Runningonhappy uses, which runs Sunday through Saturday. Although since … Continue reading Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
5 Things that got me through . . .
. . . My first trail race I love you free spirits who just go out and run. I'm a girl scout; I believe in preparation! Maybe that's why I'm not usually super nervous before a race. I was a little nervous before this past half (read the recap here), but chatting with Skirtsisters before … Continue reading 5 Things that got me through . . .
To everything there is a season: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud , randomly, in no particular order: things ending, another movie, sleeping patterns, and running with dogs. Because that's my life! Well, running with a dog, anyway. Expect troubles as an inevitable part of life, and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass. -- Anne Landers This too … Continue reading To everything there is a season: TOLT
