Humble: having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance It took me a while to wrap my head around the difference between humble & modest (next week's word). A little sleuthing, and it turns out humble refers to your behavior towards others, and modest is your opinion of yourself. I've been … Continue reading Am I a humble runner? And just what does humble mean?

Running for ice cream & racing: 6/29 – 7/5 Weekly Update
Monday: Another busy day. Walked the dogs than ran an easy 3 miles in my new Newtons & sparkle skirt using 4 minute/30 second run/walk intervals. Off to the vet again, this time with Gizmo. Having a geriatric cat & 2 senior dogs is time consuming! Made a healthy strawberry "shortcake" from a recipe … Continue reading Running for ice cream & racing: 6/29 – 7/5 Weekly Update
Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/15
This is the second year I've run the Firecracker4. Last year was very warm & humid. I'd just done a half a few weeks before, so I was just out to have fun. This year was different. Maybe because my finish time of my last half was disappointing. Maybe because it was perfect summer racing … Continue reading Firecracker 4 Race Recap 7/4/15
But I could never do that
Every time I visit my parents, which is fairly often, the conversation turns to my last run or race. Inevitably my mom says "but I could never do that". This from a woman who had buried a child & both her brothers by my age & graduated college when I graduated high school, because she … Continue reading But I could never do that
When you finish but you quit
Wendy at Taking the Long Way Home shared Tahira's blog post on Mental toughness. And it got me thinking, as a good blog post should. I finished my ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon. It had the dreaded three: hot, hilly & humid. I've done hot & hilly halfs before so I thought I knew what to expect. I … Continue reading When you finish but you quit
Wednesday word: Independent
now If you'd asked me what independent meant to me 10 years ago, I would have had a very different take on the word. Nearing July 4th in the States, I'd probably blather on something about our country. This year my parents, who are in their late 80s, have had a lot of issues. I … Continue reading Wednesday word: Independent

The Week of the Plaintains: 6/22- 28
Monday: man, I felt bada$$ today! I walked the dogs, ran 2 1/2 miles, did some grocery shopping & took Chester to the vet - all before noon! And then I made Plaintain Waffles. So crisp, so light. Tuesday: hill repeats with my USAFit group. This is an optional group run - the only mandatory group … Continue reading The Week of the Plaintains: 6/22- 28
New Kicks, new fuel, new running skirt, new pancakes
Today my USAFit Albany running group was invited to Irun Local in Saratoga. We had great weather for our 5 mile run & then they opened the store just for us & gave us some discounts. It's a relatively small running store & their selection is small. I wanted to stop by a different running store to pick up … Continue reading New Kicks, new fuel, new running skirt, new pancakes
