I runfess that right now I'm not so much enjoying the running (until last Sunday, when we had almost Spring-like temps, no wind, and sunshine.

Getting Winter Running Dressing Right
The truth is that how to dress for a run is a highly personal thing. Some runners heat up fast when running, others (myself, for instance) have a higher tolerance for sweat.

Hospice: it’s not what you think
Last week we were able to get my Dad onto Hospice. No, my Dad doesn't have a terminal illness, although he sort of does: it's called old age.
