It's a mixed bag this month with no real theme. Between a lot of time at my mom's and caring for Bandit, running is sort of on the back burner -- but not banished altogether. The heart may know what it wants, now if it would just speak to me (it's a few talking points … Continue reading The heart knows: Runfessions June 2023

Ticking Time Bomb: 6/19 – 25 WRD
It was all about the ticks this week. We did everything right: long pants tucked into socks, I was also wearing a jacket with tight wrists, using repellent, checking ourselves before getting in the car. Yet as I was going to bed on Sunday I found a tick attached to my underarm. Yuck & creepy! … Continue reading Ticking Time Bomb: 6/19 – 25 WRD

Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD
I didn't realize I'd have to implement my new plan to (maybe) run twice a week and do a cycling workout twice a week so soon -- but this week went sideways quickly. Bandit's cough has been becoming more frequent, but the day after Memorial Day he became a honking goose. Sigh. Like Chester & … Continue reading Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD
Mostly Asheville edition: Tea/coffee Date June 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing a laugh at my expense, as well as a few things we liked and didn't like about Asheville. Plus I runfess that I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago, and then completely forgot about it. It's been a week -- I'll explain in the Weekly Rundown Sunday (although … Continue reading Mostly Asheville edition: Tea/coffee Date June 2023
