This was yet another new-to-me 5k, but we train at this park for the Freihofers Training Challenge -- which is how I knew the race director lied when she said it's a flat and fast race. In fact, if you just did Mowhawk Hudson here, you know that there's a fairly steep hill in the … Continue reading Night Out for You Harvest Hustle 5k Race Recap 10/26/19
Still on the racing circuit: 10/21-27 WRD
I do love me some races in the Fall. This week's was a 5k. One billed as flat and fast for PRs -- yeah, right! The hills weren't bad, but they were there. I'm getting ahead of myself though. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how I'm tackling all the hills … Continue reading Still on the racing circuit: 10/21-27 WRD
There’a a lot to runfess over 10 miles: Runfessions October 2019
I have to admit I'm a little surprised by how many runfessions I could mine from one long run. I probably could have done even more! I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few runfessions off my chest -- and yes, all the photos are from that 10 mile run. I runfess . . … Continue reading There’a a lot to runfess over 10 miles: Runfessions October 2019
Lawson Lake Trail 5k Race Recap 10/14/19
I know, I know -- I just ran a 10k a couple of days before this "race". I use the term race loosely. Trail runs/races just tend to be fun runs for me. That's the attitude I went into this with. A gorgeous weekend, a lake, trails, friends. What could go wrong? Packet Pickup We … Continue reading Lawson Lake Trail 5k Race Recap 10/14/19
Happy 34 to Us: 10/14-20 WRD
I don't post a lot to my personal FB page -- although I'm always saying I should do it more because I do love looking at those memories -- but this weekend the weather Gods aligned to give us the perfect day on our anniversary (our actual wedding day, not so much). We made the … Continue reading Happy 34 to Us: 10/14-20 WRD
Modern Ayurveda (Book Review)
Ayurveda is complicated, there's no doubt about it. You need a guide. You also need a guide on how to navigate Ayurveda in the modern world, since it was developed in Ancient India, and most of us don't even live in modern India. Ali Cramer does a wonderful job demystifying Ayurveda so that it's livable … Continue reading Modern Ayurveda (Book Review)

1 runner, 1 deer, 1 turkey: 10/7-13 WRD
Saw a deer on the way to my moms, which is not at all unusual in around here. I saw a huge turkey running across the road on the way to my Dad. Then I actually saw a runner running while I was at my moms -- which was a first. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly … Continue reading 1 runner, 1 deer, 1 turkey: 10/7-13 WRD
Runner Strong Yoga: Pyramid Pose
Most runners know they should do yoga. Most runners also think that means spending an hour in a yoga studio, but it doesn't have to be that way. Even a few poses practiced regularly could mean the difference between an okay run and a good run. They call it a practice for a reason. I … Continue reading Runner Strong Yoga: Pyramid Pose
Missing you: September 2019
September was the month it all fell apart. In case you hadn't heard, we went to visit my parents on Labor Day, and my Dad ended up in the hospital that night. He spent almost a week in the hospital and is still in a rehabilitation center -- except then he ended up back in … Continue reading Missing you: September 2019
