There is a local race called the Icebreaker Challenge. Although I've never run it, the premise is can you beat rowers? It takes place in "Spring", hence the name. Actually this year it takes place on what would have been my Dad's 97th birthday. But no, I'm not planning to run it. However, there was … Continue reading The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD

Taking it Outsides (sometimes): Runfessions February 2023
In January, when I got back to running, it was mostly on the treadmill. Time was of the essence and the runs were short. I was fine with that.

No more rose colored glasses: Tea/coffee Date February 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and definitely enjoying a hot beverage on this very cold morning. As the subject alludes to, I sad on my rose colored sunglasses -- they've appeared in many photos -- and I'm so sad. I think I've had them for over a decade. Good thing it was cloudy most of the time … Continue reading No more rose colored glasses: Tea/coffee Date February 2023
