Spring Cleaning: 4/15-21 WRD
A "big" jump in running for me (it's all relative) and the first 4 x week in a while. I was so happy to be able to run in a tank and skirt finally; not so happy about the humidity. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and wishing those who celebrate a Happy … Continue reading Spring Cleaning: 4/15-21 WRD
Do you remember your first?
Your first run, that is? I don't. Apparently I really don't. Fairytales and Fitness As I was moving around running clothes -- putting away some (not all) heavier clothes, bringing out more skirts -- I happened upon an old journal. If you asked me when I started to run, I would tell you about 10 … Continue reading Do you remember your first?
Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)
I know that when I first started to run, I overate for the amount of calories I was actually burning -- not intentionally, but it's easy to do. Eventually I figured out how to train and not gain weight (for the most part). I've noticed, though, that I can no longer eat as much running … Continue reading Eat Live Thrive Diet (Book Review)

Are you a Sugar Burner?
Or a Fat Burner? Does it even matter? That's the $64 million question, isn't it? Fairytales and Fitness Sugar burners rely on sugar for that quick energy burst: think refined carbs, gels, beans, chews. Sugar burners tend to have a quick burst of energy and then a crash (hello, mile 10 slump in a half!). … Continue reading Are you a Sugar Burner?
Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/7/19
I'm not sure what it is about the Delmar Dash that always brings snow with it. The date seems to be always changing -- it used to be in March, and I know some of my slower times were due to snow and ice on the road. Thankfully there was no snow on the ground … Continue reading Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/7/19
Nice weather racing: 4/1-7 WRD
I'm still not running a whole lot, but so far, knock on wood, it's going fairly well. Of course I typed this sentence the day before my 5 mile race -- I may sing a different tune after that (cause it's been a month since I've run that far, even easy, much less racing). Joining … Continue reading Nice weather racing: 4/1-7 WRD

Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date -- we are already a quarter of the way through the year -- what would you like to … Continue reading We’re waiting: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2019
Keeping the girls cozy
I Tried It: Wool Bras I have sung the praises of the Skirt Sports Wonder Wool line many times (get yours here). I seriously just love it so much. The skirt with attached leggings are great for in between weather (about 30-40), and the tops are all I run in in the Winter these days. … Continue reading Keeping the girls cozy
