Dad is back in rehab. Seems to be better, but I let my sister take my mom there yesterday. I'll be back down for Yom Kippur this week. There was still a lot of walking this week, but little running, although I ran 9 miles for the first time in a long, long time. Perhaps … Continue reading Hello October & Fall: 9/30-10/6 WRD
Make today your best day: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2019
September brought with it the start of a new (Jewish) year. I'd like to say it started off well, but that wouldn't be the truth, and I believe in sharing -- the good, the bad, the ugly. So no one ever thinks that someone else's life is all unicorns and rainbows. Write it on your … Continue reading Make today your best day: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2019
The Crossings 5k Race Recap 9/29/19
This was a new-to-me 5k, but this is the park I run at a lot, and train at with the Freihofers Challenge in the Spring. I used to walk the dogs there, too, but as my life has gotten busier, sadly, I rarely take them there. I had told my friend who did my practicum … Continue reading The Crossings 5k Race Recap 9/29/19
Watch out for the acorns!: 9/23 -29 WRD
If you're coming up to run Mohawk Hudson/Hannoford Marathon/Half next month, just watch out for those acorns! In 10+ years of running I've never been hit by one, until this week.

The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
I usually try to refrain from the "ohmygosh it's already _____" statements. But ohmygosh I can't believe September is almost over. Truly, with all the unexpected travel to my parents it went by in the blink of an eye. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few other runfessions off my chest. I runfess … Continue reading The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
Pollyanna gets peeved
I'm not Pollyanna, I freely admit that. I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I still seem to manage to collect a lot of things to get peeved about though. Running out of ________ at the finish There is nothing worse than giving a race your all, only to find volunteers … Continue reading Pollyanna gets peeved
It’s a Miracle: 9/16 -22 WRD
I was listening to a talk this morning and they shared this quote from Albert Einstein: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. I realized that even though I'm a pretty positive person, I have gotten … Continue reading It’s a Miracle: 9/16 -22 WRD
Are you crutching?
Crutching, yes, I totally made up a word: reliance on a crutch. Runners can have many crutches, and it's the rare runner that has no crutch at all. The only real problem with crutches is that we can become too dependent on them. Fairytales and Fitness Reliance on technology Guilty as charged. I'd say I … Continue reading Are you crutching?
Embrace the taper!
Who wouldn't love a taper? Only a crazy person! Of course there are a lot of crazy runners out there. Runners who run because it lets them run off the crazies. They're typically the ones that go stir crazy during the taper. Not me, nope. I'm an active person now, but it's not really my … Continue reading Embrace the taper!
Reverse Mommobile: 9/9- 15 WRD
Kudos to all you moms out there who are taxiing your kids around all the time. Usually I'm the furmobile, as I like to call it. For much of this week, though, I was driving my mom around. Back and forth to the hospital every day. Shopping and errands. It was another intense week! I … Continue reading Reverse Mommobile: 9/9- 15 WRD
