Do you find it difficult to travel again after a long time with travel? This period was one of the longest time with absolutely no travel in my entire life. Some of it due to the Pandemic, and some of it due to helping out with my Dad in the last few months of his … Continue reading Travel Edition: Runfessions May 2021

More Garmin: Runfessions April 2021
While catching up over hot chocolate (yup, still drinking it hot!) We've had lovely Spring weather in April, and several days of snow. Transitions are never easy! Most mornings still find me drinking a healthy hot chocolate, and I'll add a scoop of collagen if it's my post run snack, which it often is. I … Continue reading More Garmin: Runfessions April 2021
Learning my Garmin: Runfessions March 2021
I've had my Garmin Vivoactive 3 for almost 2 years now? Something like that. I know I was actually able to race with it . . . it's amazing what I still don't know about it! But first my car is making its way into my runfessions. I runfess . . .My car did not … Continue reading Learning my Garmin: Runfessions March 2021
We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
I slowly and steadily eased back into running and strength training in February. Some of that strength training was the never ending shoveling. We were actually quite lucky, no monster storms in February, but there was snow often. It seemed as though it always fell on a running day, so I was often shoveling after … Continue reading We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
I Killed My Carrots!: Runfessions January 2021
Well, there weren't many running miles in January, and I suppose I should come up with some clever headings for my runfessions, but we'll just call them that anyway. My brain is fried from all the work I've been doing the last few weeks! You might notice a common theme in most of these runfessions … Continue reading I Killed My Carrots!: Runfessions January 2021
Finally Coming Clean: Runfessions December 2020
I come clean about something that's been bothering me a long time. Then there's tech issues (because when isn't there?). Then finally there's some animal shenanigans -- because isn't there always when you live with furkids? I runfess . . .I'll open with a whopper: my achilles tendon started acting up about mid Summer. It … Continue reading Finally Coming Clean: Runfessions December 2020
Sleep Shopping?: Runfessions November 2020
Or Senior Moment? I runfess that I had almost completely written another post for today, and then I realized it was runfession time! D'oh. Of course I can't miss out on that. I runfess . . . My misplacing things has become a "running" runfessional. This time it was one of my heavier running jackets. … Continue reading Sleep Shopping?: Runfessions November 2020
Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Between all the colorful leaves, the lakes/ponds, and grasses, it's been easy to find my rainbows out in nature these days. Hopefully these memories will help sustain me through the long, cold, dark, dreary Winter. Or maybe I'll find more beauty in nature this Winter; who knows? I runfess . . . During our 3 … Continue reading Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Summer of Hamilton: Runfessions September 2020
Sometimes when I fall, I fall hard! It was all Hamilton, all the time this Summer. Watching the movie like five times. Listening to the soundtrack. Visiting the Schuyler Summer home. Reading Hamilton: The Revolution. Then rereading Gore Vidal's Burr, which I read a lot as a kid -- which is surprising, it was kind … Continue reading Summer of Hamilton: Runfessions September 2020
Running in a Face Shield: Runfessions August 2020
Ok, no, I'm not running in a face shield. It's just one of the weird thoughts I had on the run -- you'll have to read on to see what that's all about. Oh, and have you seen the clear face masks? You can buy them here, btw. They seem weird and it also seems … Continue reading Running in a Face Shield: Runfessions August 2020
