In less than a couple of years I'll be turning 60. No matter how well you age, or how fit you stay as you age, things change. That's life. You can deny it, do the same things you always did, and chances are you'll end up sick or injured. You can run and race your … Continue reading 3 Ways to change up running as we age

My Virtual Gym
Are you one of those runners that just run? So many runners really only love running. I want to be strong the rest of my life, though, and as you get older, it can be an uphill battle. Strength training is so important. Sure, it helps your metabolism and it carves sexy muscle, but it's … Continue reading My Virtual Gym
Taking Yoga off the Mat
Most people come to Yoga for the physical benefits -- and there's no denying there can be many physical benefits. Many people stay with Yoga because of the physical benefits. More people stay because of the mental/spiritual benefits. Those benefits can benefit your running and/or everyday life, too. Not going deeply into the pose right … Continue reading Taking Yoga off the Mat
I tried it: Peloton App
I got in on the very last day for a 90 day free Peloton app trial. I have recently finished that trial, and I'm staying on. I actually took some form of class every day in July except for one. What I liked about it: The variety: there are classes in: Strength, Yoga, Cardio, Meditation, … Continue reading I tried it: Peloton App
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
Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
Ever seen the show or movie "Rent"? Then you might recognize my title. That's how many minutes there are in one year. How will you spend them? Will you spend them in fear? Or flying past the fear? It's easy to be fearful I know that some of the people in my life think I'm … Continue reading Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes
It all adds up
You don't have to spend an hour -- or more -- at a time to get fit. In fact, I would argue that if you work out for an hour, then sit on your butt the rest of the day, you're probably losing more fitness than you're gaining. It's much easier to fit in 10 … Continue reading It all adds up
On the street where I live
Quite a few years ago I wrote a post about the runners I seemed to see often on the paths, and what I named them. There was Forrest Gump, of course (runner dude with a long beard) -- I don't remember the others. My husband and I also have nicknames for some of the houses … Continue reading On the street where I live
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
Smoothies I’m Loving Lately
When I got done with my longish run last weekend, food held absolutely no appeal to me. Even though it wasn't very long at 6 miles, add in at least 2 miles walking up steep hills in addition to those 6 miles in the heat -- yup, I knew I needed to refuel. Green (or … Continue reading Smoothies I’m Loving Lately
