Mostly I kept trying to take photos or videos of animals and not getting the shot -- I'll talk more about that at the end! For the most part it was a quiet week but I got in some solid movement. It helps to be home! I am, however, writing this post on Saturday, LOL, … Continue reading Missed opportunities: 9/5 – 11 WRD
More firsts: 8/29 – 9/4 WRD
Despite the very warm stay at my moms, I rallied back this week -- which still only meant two days of running, but it is what it is. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and grateful to be feeling better -- I think some cooler weather for a couple of days helped; … Continue reading More firsts: 8/29 – 9/4 WRD
Hitchikers: Tea/coffee Date September 2022
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing random odd encounters lately. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you about the woman with the walking shorts. As in she walked in the same shorts every single time I saw her for days. Does she own multiple pairs? It just seemed odd. Eventually I did see … Continue reading Hitchikers: Tea/coffee Date September 2022
Compassion: August 2022
It's easy to give cheerfully when life is going relatively well. It's more difficult in difficult situations, but I am working on it and this quote is a great reminder! How did August go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsAs mentioned in my goals, I'm still pretty much winging it. I got to almost the … Continue reading Compassion: August 2022
Rolling with the River: 8/22 – 28 WRD
There wasn't much going on this week. I realized part of why my paces was so slow in my trail race last week -- I was coming down with something. Not apparently COVID, and not terrible, but enough to make me rest a lot, especially since I have to go to my moms a few … Continue reading Rolling with the River: 8/22 – 28 WRD
Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
Sometimes that's literally hitting the trails, as in falling onto them. Thankfully the falls are not often. My worst fall ever was on pavement. Not as pretty as the last cloud photo I took in this spot but still nice I runfess . . .I am really loving all the shade on the trails I've … Continue reading Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
Nope, not for you, Bandit This was my third time at the Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, my second time running the 10k -- to be totally honest, if the 5k was still an option as it was the first time I attended this festival, I'd still be running it! I last ran this race … Continue reading Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
It’s been a tough week on the old body: 8/15 – 21 WRD
A daytrip, friend gatherings, and a race. We did go from beautiful in the beginning of the week, which is why I made a last minute decision to get out of town a bit, to very hot and humid this week. Good thing I've been working hard on my mental game! I also sliced my … Continue reading It’s been a tough week on the old body: 8/15 – 21 WRD

Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
There seemed to be deer everywhere I looked this week: in my neighborhood, where I ran, and where I stopped on the way to visit my mom -- deer sightings three days in a row. Despite all the sightings, the only photo I took was not even worth sharing. Y'all know what deer look like. … Continue reading Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
