After a rather slow start to 2016, what with no travel until May (if you don't count the monthly back and forth to my parents as travel, which in reality it sort of is), and recovering from losing Chester, things are beginning to pick up and get busy. My first 2016 half is in one … Continue reading 2016 Goals: How’s that working for me?
Tuesdays on the Run
Would you like me if I weren’t a runner?
I'm not sure if it's because I no longer work, or because it's just my nature, but I tend to think about odd questions. A lot. In fact, one of the reasons I enjoy running is that it actually helps me turn my brain off, especially if I'm running hard -- then I'm usually not … Continue reading Would you like me if I weren’t a runner?
If I could turn back time, take II

What if Athleta, Lululemon, Title9, Oiselle, Sparkleskirts & Skirtsports mergerd?
Dream ambassadorship? I sort of felt I hit the jackpot being picked as a Skirtsports ambassador. Y'all are probably tired of hearing about my Skirsports addiction by now, but the truth is even if they hadn't picked me, I'd still be excited about Skirtsports. So I really had to put my thinking cap on for … Continue reading What if Athleta, Lululemon, Title9, Oiselle, Sparkleskirts & Skirtsports mergerd?

It Was Me All Along (book review)
A weight loss journey "It Was Me All Along" (affiliate link) really spoke to me. It fit perfectly into my weight loss/management theme this past week (see my vlog and my post about why weight loss isn't punishment if you missed it). So many similarities between myself and the author, Andie Mitchell: Love of food Bingeing … Continue reading It Was Me All Along (book review)
Taking the Chocolate out of Chocolaterunsjudy
Don't worry, I don't need to change the name of this blog. I still eat chocolate. Almost every day. But I'm going off the reservation (again!) for today's Tuesdays on the Run. Getting to know me I am including my first (I think) video of myself talking a bit. If you'd like to hear … Continue reading Taking the Chocolate out of Chocolaterunsjudy
