April continued to be a challenging month. It would really help to have Spring-like weather, but it's not unusual for us to miss out on Spring and unfortunately this was another year that that's true. The flowers are blooming, the trees are slowly beginning to leaf out, the lawns are greening up, every once in … Continue reading Then a hero comes along: April 2020
Month: April 2020
Running on sunshine: 4/20 – 26 WRD
I'd like to say snow is in our tailview mirror, but not this week. At least there was no accumulation. But there was snow, rain, sleet, and hail oh my! In between all that there was also sunshine, and some days that were breezy instead of super windy. A little sunshine goes a long way! … Continue reading Running on sunshine: 4/20 – 26 WRD
Damn Wrong Siders!: Runfessions April 2020
April was so full of runfessions that I had great difficulty keeping them to five (which is just my own personal number for a runfessions post). Okay, I'm starting out with a bonus runfession: I'm not always procrastinating on my runs. Sometimes I can't find something I need, like these Saltstick Chews. I spent two … Continue reading Damn Wrong Siders!: Runfessions April 2020
Controlling the C19 Munchies
I'm not much of a cryer. I don't drink. I definitely wouldn't say I'm not worried at times, but I also would say that for the most part, I remain optimistic: that we'll pull through this, that we'll come out stronger, that we'll band together to help all those that have been hurt so badly … Continue reading Controlling the C19 Munchies
Let’s Return to Spring; Please?: 4/13 – 19 WRD
More snow, but nothing really to write home about. Wind and cold though! Definitely having some shorts/bathing suit photo envy. I'd settle for putting away my Winter clothes, I stare at my closet and I just don't even want to put them on again! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and apologizing for … Continue reading Let’s Return to Spring; Please?: 4/13 – 19 WRD
21 Days of Yoga Challenge
Are you ready to make Yoga a daily practice? If doing more Yoga was a New Year's resolution (remember those?), then I have the challenge for you! Excuse me while I do a little bit of shameless self promotion. Along with four fellow Yoga teachers, I have been working on this challenge for months. I … Continue reading 21 Days of Yoga Challenge
Looking with Fresh Eyes
Or the Pot of Gold at the End of the RainbowI have a fun challenge for you on your next run: I want you to look for a rainbow. Actually, this also falls in line of balancing your Chakras, which just happen to have ROYGBIV for their colors. If you're like me, and you've been … Continue reading Looking with Fresh Eyes
Springing into . . . Snow?: 4/6 – 12 WRD
Yes indeed, we got just a tiny bit of the white stuff yesterday -- nothing sticking, just a brief snow shower. Thankfully I chose to run today, a much nicer day. Yesterday the wind was insane. Today it was just windy. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing still more doggy cuteness … Continue reading Springing into . . . Snow?: 4/6 – 12 WRD
Karma vs Dharma
Karma: What you are here to learn Karma isn't necessarily about past lives, although for those who believe -- I'm not sure if I do or not -- it can be. We're all here for a reason, which is actually more about Dharma than Karma -- we'll get to that in a bit. You can … Continue reading Karma vs Dharma
3 Must Haves for a Bad Weather Run
I have been known to avoid running in the cold wind or cold rain or cold, windy rain with the best of them. Retreating to my treadmill when the weather isn't great. I can run in bad weather, though, and have many times. Right now you may have no choice about running outside in bad … Continue reading 3 Must Haves for a Bad Weather Run
