What is the first thing you do in the morning? I'll bet for many the answer will be check their phone: email, facebook, instagram, etc. Maybe before you even got out of bed. Now think about this, and be honest with yourself: do you feel energized to tackle your day after that? Does it make … Continue reading Change your morning, change your life
The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him.

Goodbye my sweet boy: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2019
If anyone in my life ever "personafied" unconditional love, it was Gizmo. This was not the post I'd planned to write today, in fact a week ago I was expecting to still be hand feeding Gizmo every few hours. Over tea today I'll be sharing all about Gizmo, and I understand if that's not your … Continue reading Goodbye my sweet boy: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2019
What is love? Baby don’t hurt me
To keep my word for 2019, Love (read about it here), in mind, I came up with the idea to title each month's wrap with a song title that includes love. Lucky for me there are many, many songs with the word love in the title. The subject does not refer to being injured. I … Continue reading What is love? Baby don’t hurt me

Wool or Bust!: Runfessions January 2019
I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to talk wool and socks -- doesn't every runner? I runfess . . . I can be a terrible procrastinator getting out for a run during Winter.
