Some days, anyway. More sun then we've seen around here lately, with a truly lovely weekend and I've been spending time soaking up some Vitamin D outside. Sadly no hikes this week, but I think I actually needed a bit more downtime this week. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and keeping … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine: 4/25 – 5/1 WRD
Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022
I runfess . . .This actually happened in March, I think, but then I never wrote about it. I didn't tighten the top on my water bottle completely, and when I got to where I ran, about a quarter of it had leaked out. I was grateful it hadn't all leaked out or gotten me … Continue reading Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022
Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap
It's definitely been a hot minute since I did a real life race -- not since the end of 2019. This race was put on my radar by a running friend, who shared it because they donate a book to a child for each registrant -- and it's on the way to my moms. You've … Continue reading Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap

5 Artists I’m Loving Lately
I had an alternative title for this post: throwing it way, way back. Let me explain. I've written about my adventures with self massage (throw in dry brushing, too). Using music during the massage and my showers. I grew up singing in a choir and playing in bands/orchestras. I went to music camp. I still … Continue reading 5 Artists I’m Loving Lately
Let’s play did I run here? Part II
I left you all in Las Vegas in last week's post here. I'm concluding places I ran (or didn't), a subject I borrowed from a post I read on Donna @ Runningtotravel. Running through old town -- one more hill & I'm done! M is for MontrealI had been to Montreal a couple of times … Continue reading Let’s play did I run here? Part II
Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Happy Easter or Passover if you celebrate! My Icalendar tricked me into thinking Passover began Thursday night. Oops! I know Mr. Judy enjoyed that brisket anyway. Turns out we had a little house drama on Friday, so maybe starting Passover early ended up being a good thing (nothing too dramatic, but annoying & frustrating). Title … Continue reading Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Dynamic Balance: A Mini Book Review
Integrating Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine I find Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) fascinating, but it's not light reading. The authors of Dynamic Balance (Amazon Affiliate) do provide insight into TCM and how it can benefit athletes in an approachable way. They go into the basics of TCM and how it can benefit you as a … Continue reading Dynamic Balance: A Mini Book Review
Let’s play did I run here?
I decided to borrow from a post I read on Donna @ Runningtotravel and put my own twist on it. Where I've been, A to Z -- the twist being did I run there or not? Fair warning: photo intensive post! If you live in Austin, it's a moral imperative to take photos of your … Continue reading Let’s play did I run here?
Waterfalls Everywhere: 4/4 – 10 WRD
Nope, there were no hikes this week. The waterfalls in the subject refers to the massive amounts of rain we got, and the fact that the path I ran at a couple of days ago sprouted little waterfalls everywhere. At least it wasn't flooded like one of the paths where we walked last week! I'm … Continue reading Waterfalls Everywhere: 4/4 – 10 WRD
