Why race?: TOLT

August 11, 2016August 10, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

I'm Thinking Out Loud about my potential race this weekend; about whether or not it's wise to do it. It won't be decided today, not unless I wake up feeling a whole lot better than yesterday (doubtful, but you never know), but hey, it's what I'm thinking about. And I'll never be number one. But still . … Continue reading Why race?: TOLT

Maybe life is random . . : TOLT

. . . but I doubt it --Steven Tyler It's what Thinking Out Loud is meant to be: totally random this week. Just those little thoughts that occur to me at random times: shoes, running, swimming, and of course TOLT wouldn't be complete without the furkids. Why is multi person planning so hard? And no, Darlene, I'm … Continue reading Maybe life is random . . : TOLT

For to be free . . .: TOLT

. . . is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. --Nelson Mandela Today I'm still Thinking Out Loud animals. I know, shocking right? It's so easy to get consumed with our own troubles. Lauren wrote a great blog post, Beating Running Burnout, that … Continue reading For to be free . . .: TOLT

I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT

July 21, 2016July 20, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about generalities and how much I hate them. If one more person says to me that little dogs are just nippy, I think I will scream. Little untrained dogs can be nippy, yes -- although it's still not a given. Or all the people saying "well, it's just the adjustment". Of course there is … Continue reading I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT

My Sophie’s Choice: TOLT

July 14, 2016July 13, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 18 Comments

Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about rescues. I worked -- well, dabbled, really -- in cat rescue. I volunteered at the Humane Society when we lived in Austin. My friend had a very small cat rescue and I helped her with that, coming once a week to socialize all the cats/kittens, scooping, and helping out with fundraising things … Continue reading My Sophie’s Choice: TOLT

Chewing with Chester

January 31, 2016 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 2 Comments

Can't get enough of Chester? I'm starting a sometimes column called "Chewing with Chester". In fact, I'm going to start writing about all the animals -- current & angels -- when the mood moves me. Today I'm sharing how he was with me on my run on Wednesday. Bear with me as I work out … Continue reading Chewing with Chester
