Google training plans or eating plans and you'll have enough choices to choose from to make your head spin. The problem? You are the only you there ever will be, and who knows who those training plans or diets were created for? Fairytales and Fitness Free training plans found on the Internet might work for … Continue reading No One-Size-Fits All
What if you ran like an elite?
Obviously most of us are not going to be paid to run or earn a lot (or any, most likely) money running and racing. I think we could still all learn a lot from how elites run. If you've ever watched an elite runner, you probably marveled at how effortless they make running fast look. … Continue reading What if you ran like an elite?
Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
Normally I copy this post on Sunday or Monday and start filling it in as the week goes on. I knew I hadn't been doing much with the post, but on Friday I realized I hadn't even started it! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing juggling activity with a stressful, … Continue reading Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
On Monday we spent the day with my parents. Despite the rain, the dogs were pretty good. Bandit (he appears here a couple of times) seems to particularly enjoy going to my parents -- until it's dinner time. We had a nice visit with my parents and some of their friends. The next day my … Continue reading Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
We can learn to love again: August 2019
So sue me: I basically picked Pink's song because I like it and it's my blog. So there. I haven't fallen out of love with running, although maybe I've fallen out of love with training hard? I don't know. The nice fall-like weather at the end of the month did make it easier to fall … Continue reading We can learn to love again: August 2019
Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Another quiet week, and the last of my YTT calls. It's amazing how much information we were exposed to -- many students who are already teachers commented on how it was far more in depth than what they went through in an in person training. But just how much of it have I actually absorbed? … Continue reading Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
I do it my way: Runfessions August 2019
Not only are we into the unofficial end of summer, for the most part, lately, the weather has been hinting at Fall. Are you ready to let go of Summer and plunge into Fall? I enjoy every season, except Winter. It's just never been my thing. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few … Continue reading I do it my way: Runfessions August 2019
Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19
My first trail race was a half marathon. Yes, chocolate was involved. Of course. My next trail race? A 5k. Kind of on a whim, the day after a long run, mostly because it was a beautiful day. The next year I was getting close to my 18 mile road race, and I didn't want … Continue reading Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19
All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD

Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, … Continue reading All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD
Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
I'm not talking about busting out some yoga moves during your run, but if that's your jam, go for it! Personally, I'm usually too focused on wanting to finish to stop and bust out some yoga moves. YTT isn't just about learning yoga posture and how to string them together and cue them; it's about … Continue reading Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
