I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and sort of bearing my soul at the Runfessional. Don't know what I'm talking about? We get together and share all those little things that only runners understand (or care about). I runfess . . . The weather in May, for the most part, was a real buzzkill. Rain, rain, … Continue reading It’s all about that base: Runfessions May 2019

To all who serve, Thank You!: 5/20-26 WRD
I didn't really have a lot of running or errands this week, but it sure seemed busy nonetheless. Then my shoulder decided to protest the weight lifting. It wasn't as if I was doing much or lifting crazy weights, but it got really sore. I found some yoga videos for shoulder pain that helped immensely, … Continue reading To all who serve, Thank You!: 5/20-26 WRD
Why do YOU race?
Some runners never race at all. Runners who do race, though, race for all sorts of different reasons. Your reasons for racing may change over the years, too. I do think it's important to revisit your why. What is it about racing that motivates you? Why do YOU get out there to race? Fairytales and … Continue reading Why do YOU race?
Strength in numbers
Today's topic is are you a solo or group runner? The quick answer for me is both. I believe both have their pros and cons. The Group Run Nothing will get you out the door quicker for a run than knowing you are meeting other people. It always feels easier to run with other people … Continue reading Strength in numbers

Fair Weather Runners,Unite!
I have run in some pretty gnarly weather conditions: snow, sleet, thunderstorms, extremely windy, a Nor'easter (yes, I'm going to milk that one for years to come). Sometimes the weather changes when I'm already out on the run and I have no choice but to run back to the car. Other times, yes, I know … Continue reading Fair Weather Runners,Unite!
What to eat when you just can’t eat
Hopefully this is the blog post you will never need, but if you do, I hope it's helpful to you. Having stomach problems is never fun. You can either help or hinder your healing with the right foods. The BRAT Diet I got really familiar with this one last week -- luckily I already knew … Continue reading What to eat when you just can’t eat
Here’s to you, mammas: 5/6-12 WRD
Easing back into activity, again! The weather was pretty atrocious for much of the week, lots of cold rain. I was able to run outside the two times I ran. We did have a beautiful day on Wednesday, but I had some errands including a haircut -- a girl's gotta have priorities! I didn't take … Continue reading Here’s to you, mammas: 5/6-12 WRD
7 Random Hospital Thoughts
You have a lot of time to think in a hospital. I thought of one more thing after I made this graphic . . . Fairytales and Fitness I had not been in a hospital -- for myself, that is -- since I was 12 years old. Since there isn't a lot of movement going … Continue reading 7 Random Hospital Thoughts
