Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Alas I think that was our last week with no snow on the paths -- mostly, anyway, as I ran through just a little snow on Friday (yup, we got caught in the big snowstorm today). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll warm up and melt the … Continue reading Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
It was different then
Life changes you, whether you want it to or not. It's a good thing, though -- life changes you for the better. A few more wrinkles but a whole lot more wisdom. A bigger stomach but a bigger capacity to love and laugh. When we're open to it, change is a good thing. Or as … Continue reading It was different then
Let Your Mind Run (Book Review)
My running group is trying to revive our book club. Mind you, we did one book. In 2017. We chose Deena Kastor's memoir, Let Your Mind Run (Amazon Affiliate link) this time. Learn more about Deena at her Website here. I absolutely loved this book. Most of my sole sisters did, too, although one person … Continue reading Let Your Mind Run (Book Review)
Get Comfortable . . . : 1/7-13 Weekly Wrap
. . . being uncomfortable Training Week 6: Best Damn Race Savannah Half When it came to running, this week was definitely all about being uncomfortable -- as in pushing, not as in pains/injuries.

Fairytales and Fitness Tweak your life … Continue reading What will change for you in 2019?
Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/19
This race isn't scenic. It isn't fun. And the weather is usually in some way nasty -- this year it was with 30 mph winds gusting up to 40 mph. Yet, I come back year after year -- I always feel my year starts out on the right foot with this "race". The Hudson Mohawk … Continue reading Bill Hogan 3.5 mile Race Recap 1/1/19
Trying new stuff: 12/31-1/6 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 5: Best Damn Race Savannah Half The new stuff is down in favorites, although I did end up running on unpaved paths/non technical trails a couple of times this week.

Loving 2019: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2019
Notice what I did there? I snuck in my word for 2019 (read about it here). I'm hoping to keep it in mind a lot more than I did Believe in 2018, although Believe really was a great word for 2018, as I pushed myself outside my comfort zone (read my wrap up of 2018 … Continue reading Loving 2019: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2019
18 in 2018
2018 was just not a normal year. Normally I start the year with a short race on New Year's Day -- I've been doing this race for seven years! Depending what time you're reading this, I'm either hanging out before the race, racing, or have just finished racing. The race was canceled in 2018 due … Continue reading 18 in 2018
