When I asked for running mask recommendations, people pretty much universally said they don't use one. Spoiler alert: neither do I. I never liked a gaiter around my mouth while running, even in Winter. I do know there are a few people that run in masks. I also know that they make some pretty cute … Continue reading Get Your Running Mask Here!
What I know for sure about training
There are as many ways to train as there are runners, even though most training plans follow the same pattern: Build a base. Building your base is basically making sure that you will have the endurance you need to start training for whatever distance you chose. Strength. Not so much about strength training, but more … Continue reading What I know for sure about training

A Virtual 4th Race?
I have started off my 4th of July celebrations for many years with a race. I went on my own the first year. Then I joined a running group, and met up with them a few times -- which is oddly enough how I met my neighbor who runs. We went together a few times, … Continue reading A Virtual 4th Race?

Steep, Steep-er, Steep-est: 5/25 – 31 WRD

I think my body was protesting having to go up and down hills again, rather than just downhill. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and finishing out my 5ks. … Continue reading Steep, Steep-er, Steep-est: 5/25 – 31 WRD
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: Runfessions May 2020
I know people hate to say what we have is the new normal, but I think that's the truth until a vaccine or treatment is found. You wouldn't think I'd have much to runfess considering I am not racing, and not running a lot either. Coming clean always feels good, though, doesn't it? Even if … Continue reading What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: Runfessions May 2020
