Training Week 4: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I'm beginning to add in some speed work, but am being somewhat conservative in my training. In fact, I'll probably continue to go back and forth between three days a week and four days a week. Mostly it will depend on the weather and how my body … Continue reading Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap
Losing it or . . . : Runfessions December 2018
You've got to actually wear it to be motivated I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to get off those last minute 2018 Runfessions off my chest. I runfess . . .

I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 3: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Definitely a much better week than the previous one. Running is going pretty good.

1 Way to Stay Motivated
It's quickie Friday! I'll bet most of you are deep into the Holiday Hustle, as Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunnercalls it. I'm not, but the last couple of weeks were a bit tiring with Gizmo and that inherent stress.

5 Reasons Love is My 2019 Word
Every year I choose a word to focus on; a word of the year, if you like. Usually at some point it just pops into my head at some point, but I must say this year that didn't happen. I did find myself thinking about the word Love on one run, nothing else has popped … Continue reading 5 Reasons Love is My 2019 Word
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18
No snowy selfies this year, and that's a good thing! OTOH, while I was with a group, I raced alone . . . so no friendly chatting during the race. Ah, but was it a good race?
