When I saw the Wednesday Word for this week, triumphant, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. The year was 2013. My training for my spring half was going great. Right up until the taper. It's always the taper with me! Then the knee pain started out of the blue. No really, it … Continue reading My triumphant return to running
Run away with me for some scenic runs
I think running is one of the best ways to see a new place, so I decided to backtrack on Tuesdays on the Run and share some scenes from some of my travel runs. Some are from racecations, some are from vacations, some I'll tell you a bit about, some I'll let the caption speak … Continue reading Run away with me for some scenic runs
Listening to your body does a body good: 2/1-7 Weekly Wrap
This past week did not start off well. Slight temp, muscle aches, I wanted to keep running according to my schedule but I knew rest was better for me so I took a couple of extra days off of running and exercise in general, other than yoga and walking. I was rewarded for listening to … Continue reading Listening to your body does a body good: 2/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Proud to be representing Skirtsports
I am so proud and excited to have been chosen as one of the 2016 Skirtsports ambassadors. Seriously, I have been acting as an unofficial ambassador for them for years -- I can't begin to tell you the number of times I've gotten "cute skirt" in training, in races, and shouted out "Skirtsports"!

I love you, now go away: Spilling over high tea
Seriously, I do love my husband. I ought to; we've been married over 30 years now! We might have the strongest marriage of all our siblings (one is separated, one sort of hates each other's guts but stay together, one seems pretty good but those children make it hard to work on the marriage). That … Continue reading I love you, now go away: Spilling over high tea

Traveling with food so I can enjoy food: TOLT
This week I'm Thinking Out Loud about what a bad daughter I am. I've always believed we ended up moving to NY, at least partially, because my parents were elderly and that made us much closer to them (although it doesn't explain why my inlaws moved away from the east coast to the west coast when we … Continue reading Traveling with food so I can enjoy food: TOLT

Would you be a runner if you . . .
. . . lived in the 19th century? If I had lived in the nineteenth century, I would be a Jewish peasant in Russia. I think I can claim with a fair amount of certainty that I would not be a runner. I'd be too busy trying to survive. Heck, what was the life expectancy … Continue reading Would you be a runner if you . . .
I love you, Old Faithful, but let’s not see so much of each other!: 1/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Hello February! February tends to have the worst weather of the winter and I should know -- my birthday falls in it. As my mom likes to remind me, she almost didn't make it to the hospital because of a snowstorm and I was almost born in the car. Almost. Although at least the first … Continue reading I love you, Old Faithful, but let’s not see so much of each other!: 1/25-31 Weekly Wrap
