Have you? I have a dirty secret. In fact, I have several sheet pans that I've had forever and not bothered to clean, so I just slap some foil over them and then throw out said foil when I'm done. Am I just lazy? Have I stopped taking care of my things? I know today's … Continue reading Have I let myself go? + a Giveaway
Don’t Patronize me!: 11/26 -12/2 Weekly Wrap
On my Friday on my long run, this guy passed me, calling out passing on the left. No biggie, right? Only he also said older, slower runner passing. Well, you're passing me, so obviously you're not running slower than me. I get it, he said he was 69 (no idea why he felt he needed … Continue reading Don’t Patronize me!: 11/26 -12/2 Weekly Wrap

November 2018: Did I pass?
When it comes to racing, 2018 was just an odd year. Some highs, some lows, and a lot of races that just didn't happen (but luckily weren't registered for so I lost nothing). Getting in scheduled runs Essentially there were no scheduled runs. No big goal races. Not as much racing as I usually do … Continue reading November 2018: Did I pass?
Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
. . . and sometimes it doesn't feel so great This Thanksgiving was bittersweet, in more ways than one. Bitterly cold, for example, which had me running on the treadmill instead of in a Turkey Trot. I've run in weather that cold, but it was just not calling to me this year. Also bittersweet because … Continue reading Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap

Why I’m grateful for running
There are so many benefits to running, but this Thanksgiving I'm grateful that running gets me out there in nature. I won't run through everything, but I have run in some pretty hot conditions, in a Nor'easter, into the single digits, into wind that almost blew me into Lake Champlain, occasionally in snow storms -- … Continue reading Why I’m grateful for running
Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
It seemed like all the races were canceled this weekend. At least the ones I was interested in, anyway. Some of the Sole Sisters got together to run, but frankly, I need all the time I can get before Thanksgiving so it's probably just as well those races were canceled. In case you missed it, … Continue reading Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
Sometimes you have to let go . . .

Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18
Stockadeathon is the only 15k I've ever done. I really like the distance -- long enough to be a challenge, but ends at about the time I start to get really tired. This year's race dawned with a dusting of snow, and snow continued to pelt the windshield on the drive to the race, but … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18
