I kind of feel like I'm on repeat lately -- tired, missing sunshine, slightly stressed, some good days, some meh days . . . it might be mild, but it's still winter! Oh, and don't worry about the post title -- nothing dire, we'll get to that in the favorites of the week. I'm joining … Continue reading Goodbye is so hard to say: 1/23-29 Weekly Wrap
Laughter is good for the soul: Runfessions January 2017
2015 was a tough year and I wasn't sad to see it go. 2016 might have been even tougher, and I wasn't sad to see it go. 2017 has just started, but I'm pretty sure it will be another tough year -- it's just my time of life, with aging parents and aging furkids. But … Continue reading Laughter is good for the soul: Runfessions January 2017
The 12 paws test: TOLT
Clothes, furkids, affirmations, a chance for a free race entry, and the scale, oh my! Another random Thinking Out Loud. Carefully choosing my clothes I make no secret of the fact that I'm a fashionista. I love clothes, and I love combining clothes into outfits; I love sparkle and soft, biker chic and a little bit … Continue reading The 12 paws test: TOLT
Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
As I mentioned in yesterday's post (read it here), I am so excited to have the chance to run the Utah Valley Half Marathon on June 10, 2017 (disclaimer: I was provided a free race entry from the race organizers). What's almost as exciting? Being able to share my good fortune with one of my … Continue reading Run the Utah Valley Marathon with me!
Setting the bar high
Today our hosts are asking how much is the most you would pay for a race. I think the most I ever paid was about $125 or so for Las Vegas (my first!). And I've gone as low as $35, I think -- and pretty much everywhere in between -- including free -- thank you, … Continue reading Setting the bar high
Getting it done: 1/16-22 Weekly Wrap
I was kind of dragging when I ran with Darlene on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon I was exhausted. I took it easy on Wednesday, but I still felt really tired by the afternoon. Thankfully by the end of the week, despite some unexpected healthy problem with my Dad, I was feeling better and that meant better … Continue reading Getting it done: 1/16-22 Weekly Wrap
Second verse, same as the first
So many people love their winter sports: skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, ice skating. Me? Not so much. Why do you think I don't want to live somewhere cold & snowy? We're talking winter activities on the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy. I must runfess, though, that my winter activities … Continue reading Second verse, same as the first
Are you functionally fit?: TOLT
Today is Thinking Out Loud at is best: a truly random sampling of what's swirling around in my head. Little things that puzzle me. Bigger things like selling the home I grew up in. And Bandit, of course. Can you get up off the floor? Without using your hands? Supposedly this is a measure of how long … Continue reading Are you functionally fit?: TOLT
2 for the Price of One!
I find picking a word for the year to be a helpful tool. I may not be good at setting goals, but boy, I've got that word of the year thing down -- I'm not sure how long I've been doing it, but it's been a few years, at least. I do keep my word … Continue reading 2 for the Price of One!
Stay far away, snow!: 1/9-15 Weekly Wrap
I am enjoying our (mostly) unseasonably warm winter. Oh, we've had some snow, some freezing rain, some bitterly cold weather. But in short spurts. And at the moment, the snow is gone -- which is just perfect for running, even if it's not "pretty". I can live without snow -- and snow acts like a … Continue reading Stay far away, snow!: 1/9-15 Weekly Wrap
