The food-running cycle: Thursdays are for thinking out loud
Someday I would love to be a normal person when it comes to food. I'd like to just realize I'm hungry & decide what sounds good to eat. As my Weight Watchers leader likes to say, we're not normal.

Running pet peeves: Wednesday word – Annoying
As I wrote in 5 Things that make me happy, I'm mostly a glass half full gal. But that doesn't mean I'm Pollyanna.

Fortitude – Running through the pain
Every runner, if they run long enough, will need fortitude - physically or mentally. In fact, for most of us, it takes fortitude to start; let's face it, running can be painful in the beginning.
