Technical: of or relating to technique Put one foot in front of the other. Rapidly. Over and over and over. That's it; that's running -- or is it? Simplicity is the outcome of technical subtlety. It is the goal, not the starting point.-- Maurice Saatchi Running is simple -- isn't it? On the surface, running isn't … Continue reading Is running the least technical sport?
Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
It's been sadly lacking this week. I got my workouts done, and other stuff, too, but I spent more time just sitting at the computer not being productive than normal. Of course I get to blame the weather -- once again, it was crazy! On Monday I was wearing a beanie and Skirt Sports Wonder … Continue reading Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
Who knew air drying clothes would be helpful?: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2018
Well, the first thing I'd tell you is that we apparently had two tea dates in February because I forgot to change the subject for March's tea date. It was that kind of month. I'd also tell you that Gizmo, at 17, isn't our oldest cat ever -- in fact, he still has a … Continue reading Who knew air drying clothes would be helpful?: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2018
Cherry Blossom 5k Race Recap 4/29/18
My original plan for this year was to actually train for a 5k for a change. Outside of my first (and my slowest), I've never specifically trained for one -- I just run one every now and again. Well, being sick on and off for January and February and some of March, too -- that … Continue reading Cherry Blossom 5k Race Recap 4/29/18
Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
We got a couple of Spring-like days and then we descended back into gray skies, chilly temps, and rain. Well, it's almost May so it's time for those April Showers to get lost -- don't you think? There was a lot of synchronicity going on this week, too: meeting the DJ from the station I … Continue reading Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
The Case of the Missing Water Bottle: Runfessions April 2018
I runfess the weather forecasters are driving me crazy. Not that that’s news. Up until today the forecast for Sunday’s race was good. Cold, but that’s good for me in a race. Now it’s for a cold rain. Who knows? Maybe it will still be dry. Because we know how accurate they are. See how … Continue reading The Case of the Missing Water Bottle: Runfessions April 2018
April 2018: Did I pass?
April wasn't as busy as March, but the weather -- well, you know. It had me feeling kind of meh for a lot of the month -- but not actively sick. April also ushered in my first race of 2018 & there's actually another race on the schedule for this weekend. And yes, I know … Continue reading April 2018: Did I pass?
Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap
I know, I know, it's Spring. Tell that to MN. This week was so incredibly foul weather-wise until the weekend -- endless gray, pouring cold rain on Monday, and I felt kind of meh for much of the week. I'm blaming the lack of sunshine (and yes, I take a Vitamin D supplement). I'm joining … Continue reading Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap

Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
This race keeps getting later and later in the year, and yet the weather doesn't seem to improve. Two years ago, the last time I ran this 5 mile race, it was the beginning of April and it snowed. Our forecast was for an ice storm the night before -- but for once, thankfully, the … Continue reading Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
