Another busy week, but some fun things in there. A movie -- I think you might be able to guess which one if you like movies, although it's a nod to the original; a race, and pierogis! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and giving thanks for unseasonably cool weather on race … Continue reading The Need for Speed: 6/13 – 19 WRD
Running through the Koshas
I ran 9 miles a few weeks ago, so I had plenty of time to think during that run. Which is how I came up with this subject. There are 5 Koshas, so it fit perfectly. What is a Kosha, you ask? According to most Yoga philosophy, you have 5 bodies (some philosophy actually says … Continue reading Running through the Koshas
I Tried It: Squirrel’s Nut Butter

Summer Bucket List 22
If you've ever been involved with caretaking, even if you're not the every day caretaker, you probably know that your life is basically not your own.

In a Holding Pattern: 5/30 – 6/5 WRD
