Ok, no, I'm not running in a face shield. It's just one of the weird thoughts I had on the run -- you'll have to read on to see what that's all about. Oh, and have you seen the clear face masks? You can buy them here, btw. They seem weird and it also seems … Continue reading Running in a Face Shield: Runfessions August 2020
3 Ways to change up running as we age
In less than a couple of years I'll be turning 60. No matter how well you age, or how fit you stay as you age, things change. That's life. You can deny it, do the same things you always did, and chances are you'll end up sick or injured. You can run and race your … Continue reading 3 Ways to change up running as we age
Thank You, Mother Nature!: 8/17 – 23 WRD
I know a lot of people suffered with Mother Nature's actions last week, and if you were caught in the Derecho or in the wildfires, know you are still in my thoughts. We were treated to a dose of cool, almost Fall like days until the weekend. It was a much needed break from the … Continue reading Thank You, Mother Nature!: 8/17 – 23 WRD
Finding Good Even in Pandemics
We can all agree that 2020 has been "interesting", right? And by interesting I mean the gift that keeps on giving -- not in a good way. Or is it? Of course there is just so much about 2020 to hatedislike, to want to move past, to want to forget. I often spend time thinking … Continue reading Finding Good Even in Pandemics
My Virtual Gym
Are you one of those runners that just run? So many runners really only love running. I want to be strong the rest of my life, though, and as you get older, it can be an uphill battle.

Roatripping: 8/10 – 16 WRD
Some people are effected more by heat than others. I remember once, in TX, we'd been out to a memorial service. It was hot and humid. As we sat in the car afterwards, trying to decide what to do, the sweat was rolling down my face. But not Mr. Judy's. I'd rather run outside than … Continue reading Roatripping: 8/10 – 16 WRD
4 Running Masks . . .
. . . I Haven't Run In I do wear masks: I wear them when I go grocery shopping or take Lola to the vet (even though I don't actually go in with her). I wear a mask when I visit my mom (even though we're outside at either end of a bench). I wear … Continue reading 4 Running Masks . . .
Taking Yoga off the Mat
Most people come to Yoga for the physical benefits -- and there's no denying there can be many physical benefits. Many people stay with Yoga because of the physical benefits. More people stay because of the mental/spiritual benefits. Those benefits can benefit your running and/or everyday life, too. Not going deeply into the pose right … Continue reading Taking Yoga off the Mat
A Buzzzy Week: 8/3 – 9 WRD
We've spent way more time eating & relaxing on our deck this Summer than we ever have. In the past, heat (it's off of the second floor) often prevented us. Of course we've had plenty of heat this Summer, but with two umbrellas instead of just one, we've been out there more. The other limiting … Continue reading A Buzzzy Week: 8/3 – 9 WRD
Pandemic Dressdown: Tea/coffee Date August 2020
Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me and a bunch of bloggers for the ultimate coffee tea date: I'm sharing all my any cute shoes are gathering dust. But first . . .
