5 Thoughts from a Long Run
I normally run with a group from late spring to early fall. This year I ran with the group for about half that time, and then life got in the way.

5 Things in Life Lately
My mother had surgery 2 weeks ago, for those that don't know. She is 88 years old. The surgery was necessary, and was only supposed to be an overnight in the hospital and a week of recovery.

5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
. . . When the Going Gets Tough I shared my admiration for runners who are able to quit on their planned training runs. Sounds weird, huh? But sometimes you really should, and I have real trouble with that. But sometimes you need to push through the bad runs, too. I'm pretty sure I've shared … Continue reading 5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
You are not a number
I figure y'all need a break from all things doggie. I started writing this post before Bandit entered our lives, and I think it's a very important post: it is easy to define ourselves by numbers, but we are so much more than any number associated with us. It's free Friday this week's Friday Five … Continue reading You are not a number
