No races for me in December, virtual or otherwise. I did have a pretty well rounded fitness routine for most of December, including shoveling! This month's song selection: who doesn't love Rachel Patton? I probably already used her, but I think it's totally appropriate for going into 2021, because the COVID vaccines allow us to … Continue reading Fighting Stronger: December 2020

You’re Gonna Be Ok: November 2020
November had one virtual 5k and I really like the tee from that "race". There were walks with friends and a little hiking. Of course I am still working my way through the sadness of losing Lola, which happened on Halloween. This month's song selection, from Brian & Jenn Johnson, is all about holding on … Continue reading You’re Gonna Be Ok: November 2020
Hold On: October 2020
October had no races, virtual or otherwise. In fact, it was probably the least amount of running I did in 2020 with a 2 week running break, and now trying to squeeze in running around hopefully coaxing Lola back to health. October also saw tempers fraying, the election getting on everyone's nerves, and COVID once … Continue reading Hold On: October 2020
The People Have the Power: September 2020
September was even busier than the last few months! 2 trips to mom, both with side trips. One day trip as a "family" -- I'd hoped for more, but it wasn't meant to be. Cat sitting for a friend. Planning & executing birthday shenanigans for Mr. Judy. A virtual 10k + virtual 5k walk. September's … Continue reading The People Have the Power: September 2020
I Come Back Even Stronger: August 2020
August was relatively busy in a good way. 2 trips to mom, one with a side trip. More day trips. Slight increase in running. Slight increase in walking, too. Made an effort to get in more steps. I collected my mug from June's virtual xc runs (with a side trip on that trip too). August's … Continue reading I Come Back Even Stronger: August 2020
Fighter: July 2020
July was actually rather busy. A 30 hour meditation course. 2 trips to mom. A fun daytrip. Family Zoom call. Routine vet visit for Lola (Bandit needs one, too). Filming videos (which lately seems to always be a struggle). Myself and my loved ones are healthy. My mom tires a lot easier -- as … Continue reading Fighter: July 2020
Let’s Lift Each Other Up: June 2020
The weather in June was all over the place. Mostly lovely, so I can't complain. A couple of weekends were so chilly that one day I had to take my Yoga inside. Then it heated up quickly! Luckily I picked the right spot for my Yoga platform. It's nice and shady and even on days … Continue reading Let’s Lift Each Other Up: June 2020
Getting Strong Now: May 2020
May blew in with very unwanted snow, but it went out with some lovely Summer weather. From strong to stronger and the iconic Rocky song "Gonna Fly Now": Getting strong now Won’t be long now Getting strong now Gonna fly now Flying high now Gonna fly, fly, fly Running takes a back burner for now, … Continue reading Getting Strong Now: May 2020
Then a hero comes along: April 2020
April continued to be a challenging month. It would really help to have Spring-like weather, but it's not unusual for us to miss out on Spring and unfortunately this was another year that that's true. The flowers are blooming, the trees are slowly beginning to leaf out, the lawns are greening up, every once in … Continue reading Then a hero comes along: April 2020
Stronger than the Fear: March 2020
March was a doozy, wasn't it? It didn't start out well for me, not feeling well. I get a non specific virus like this often in Spring (relatively sure it wasn't COVID19 but we'll never know). I rest, I get better, then out of the blue I feel a little worse, and back and forth … Continue reading Stronger than the Fear: March 2020
