A while back nuts.com reached out to me to see if I was interested in doing a post on healthy snacking for runners. The first time was the wrong time -- it was the end of the year and I was just exhausted with everything going on with Chester. I kept thinking I should reply, but … Continue reading 5 Favorite Postrun Snacks
At least the days are getting longer: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about how the days are getting longer, and I'm slowly getting my energy back. I like to joke that I'm solar powered. Sure, the weather has mostly sucked lately, but it's not really all that unusual for these parts. And sure, I'm as ready for Spring as the next runner. Sometimes you really just … Continue reading At least the days are getting longer: TOLT
Show me how big your brave is
I am sure I won't be the only blogger going with lyrics from Sara Barellies's song "Brave" for today's Wednesday Word. That's okay -- I love Sara! Fun fact: I saw her at the Austin Rodeo before she became really big. My husband thought she'd be a one hit wonder. Ha! Just like that other girl I talked him … Continue reading Show me how big your brave is
If I could turn back time, take II
Or 7 things I would tell a new runner It's a wonderful life, right? But how many of us would change things if we were given the chance?

A Day in the Life 3/30/16
I mentioned last Wednesday that I totally forgot about wanting to try a WIAW post (epic food photo failage, and yes, I just made up that word), so instead, I decided to record everything I did all day so you could get a peek into my life. I think you deserve brownie points for reading … Continue reading A Day in the Life 3/30/16
I want to soar like an eagle: 3/28-4/3 Weekly Wrap
After the Delmar Dash today, Darlene, Barbara and I ran 5 more miles on the rail trial. Well, Barbara only wanted to go a couple but she just kept going and going . . . and then they saw eagles. Without them, I would never have seen them. So cool. I didn't even attempt photos … Continue reading I want to soar like an eagle: 3/28-4/3 Weekly Wrap
Meet Dr. Jekyll: Spilling over high tea
Sometimes I get angry about the silliest things. I know it doesn't help anyone, and yet when I'm in the throes, I can't seem to help it. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often. Find out what silly thing caused my inner Dr. Jekyll to come out this week. I am joining up with Coco, Deborah, and Lynda for their … Continue reading Meet Dr. Jekyll: Spilling over high tea
It Takes a Village to Raise a Runner
It's true that some runners are lone wolves (I'm looking at you, Wendy!), but even those lone wolves tend to rely on more than just themselves to keep running. I came back from a long walk with Lola at the park and today's subject just popped into my mind. Seriously, very few runners get by … Continue reading It Takes a Village to Raise a Runner
Battling el Nino: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud pretty much totally randomly this week: wondering why I only saw 2 geese, why I hate repetitive tasks but will do the same workouts, and, of course, sharing furkid photos. Kind of a quiet week in CRJ land this week -- except for the wind! Holy Moly! Did you have to run in … Continue reading Battling el Nino: TOLT
Is my life adventurous?
I don't consider myself to be a very adventurous person, which is our Wednesday Word for this week. But let's look at the definition of adventurous: Inclined or willing to engage in adventures; enjoying adventures I'm a planner. I love to know what half I'm going to do next months in advance. And yet I've been known, on … Continue reading Is my life adventurous?
