I'm Thinking Out Loud about spooky stuff, bad furkids, and running and walking with dogs today. The vorteces When I was in Sedona, Wendy @ Takingthelongwayhome asked me if we felt the vorteces. Not really. But . . . . . . my IT was just every so slightly irritated when I arrived, and when I left? Completely … Continue reading Galloway works for dogs: TOLT
It’s a small world after all
Esoteric: intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge of interest There are a few things that interest me that are esoteric: they are things you cannot understand unless you have experienced them. Some of them are things that people think they can understand, or are … Continue reading It’s a small world after all
Craft Classic Phoenix Half Marathon Race Recap 10/16/16
Inaugural races can be tricky, and Craft Classic Phoenix was my third inaugural half marathon. I am happy to say it was also extremely well "run". And although it was definitely a challenging, warm, hilly race, I felt I ran it well. Packet Pickup Packet Pickup was at the Road Runner Sports store in Scottsdale. Right next … Continue reading Craft Classic Phoenix Half Marathon Race Recap 10/16/16
Respecting my body:10/24-30 Weekly Wrap
I'm not sure if it was just things catching up with me, the travel, the stress, or all of the above, but I felt a little off for most of the week. Nothing serious, pretty sure I'm not really coming down with anything, just my body telling me it's time to respect it a bit … Continue reading Respecting my body:10/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Speed FOMO: October 2016 Runfessions
So yeah, we're now married 31 years, I completed half #13, and my parents are moved into their new apartment. It was a busy month, y'all. Not too busy to scare up a few runfessions (like how I got in a little Halloween theme, there, even though it's not really my thing). I'm hooking up … Continue reading Speed FOMO: October 2016 Runfessions
Bandit/Houdini: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about the shorter days, the benefits of someone cooking for me and the furkids -- of course. Did you catch what I did? With my subject for the Weekly Wrap?

Is it a Nuisance — or not?
Nuisance: a person, thing, or situation that is annoying or that causes trouble or problems The quote above is so true -- I say it often, happiness is a choice. We can't change many things, but we can change the way we feel about them. Yet that's not the nuisance I'm going to write about in … Continue reading Is it a Nuisance — or not?
The 2 that got away
Today I'm talking about half marathons that didn't go quite the way I expected, and what I learned from them. Las Vegas RnR: the first time I chose (sort of) Las Vegas to be my first half marathon because: Running with friends (or so I thought) I love Vegas Mr. Judy also loves Vegas Running … Continue reading The 2 that got away
There’s no place like home:10/17-23 Weekly Wrap
There wasn't a whole lot of organized exercise going on this week; it was a busy week of travel. Flying across the country to get home, one day at home, driving down to move my parents into their new home. Although I didn't do much (if any) yoga or or strength training, and always planned … Continue reading There’s no place like home:10/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Just because you can . . .
. . . should you? It seems like multi event weekends are all the rage now. And Ragnar, of course, which is sort of a multi event weekend. I haven't done either. And I'm not saying you absolutely shouldn't, but sometimes it's wise to stop and give some hard thought to why you're really signing … Continue reading Just because you can . . .
