The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
It was a somewhat busy week with a trip to my mom and an early long run. Very glad I got that done before Summer started to come back again!

Case of the Mysterious Disappearing Tulips: Tea/coffee Date June 2021
Thanks, Coco and Deborah, I'm sitting here with my hot chocolate (whether it's cold or hot outside!) and ready to share one of my pet peeves. The red tulips got moved from the back of the house to this plantings area up front — & now they completely disappeared from there, too. Weird. If we were enjoying … Continue reading Case of the Mysterious Disappearing Tulips: Tea/coffee Date June 2021
Let’s be clear here: May 2021
I love this quote below: Sometimes things aren't clear right away. That's where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead.-- Mary Pierce Often times things aren't clear.

Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Last week we kinda went from almost Winter to Spring, but I could see looking ahead that we were rapidly moving into Summer. Which we did. Suddenly I was running earlier and earlier and it was getting warmer and warmer. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and trading pace for effort. Workouts update … Continue reading Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
5 Must-Dos after a Long run/Race
You may have been #runningallthemiles during the Pandemic, but if you haven't, you might be a little rusty on what to do after a long run -- or race (still haven't raced, not looking to anytime soon actually). This post is a little reminder to myself -- maybe something will resonate with you, too. I'm … Continue reading 5 Must-Dos after a Long run/Race
ABCs of Running
Some runners have been able to continue to race during the Pandemic, or at least in the last few months. Some haven't, and some have chosen not to. I think a lot of us are/were rusty when it comes to training and racing. Here's a little reminder of some of the ABCs of running & … Continue reading ABCs of Running
