Different Ways Runners Deal with Pain Runners are stubborn people. When most people would take to their couches at the first twinge of discomfort, runners have a tendency to run through the pain. Different runners have different ways of dealing with injury/pain -- maybe you see yourself in one of these movie analogies? They came … Continue reading The Karate Kid Runner
This Adult Onset Athlete’s Story
Were you this girl? The one that avoided running at all costs? The one that hated running? The one picked last for any team? The one that went far out into the outfield when we had to play, praying that no one would hit anything out there, because she couldn't hit, catch, or run?

Our Icicles are Growing: 3/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
Yup, that was 3 nor'easters in 3 weeks. At the moment it looks like the fourth one will miss us next week, but we're still at the third snowiest March since 1888 -- and temps below normal for much of the month, which I can personally attest to this morning. I'm joining up with the Weekly … Continue reading Our Icicles are Growing: 3/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
5 Things My Running Sabbatical Taught Me
It's not the first time I've missed runs due to sickness, although it's been years since I had to miss this much activity. I am lucky, though, I know -- I didn't have to spend months without running.

Who said you need 10,000 steps?
More is better. That should be the American slogan -- or at least, so it seems. So you walk or run 10,000 steps? Of course you have to keep upping the ante. Beat your old record. Right? Or do you? Why 10,000 Steps? Mr. Judy shared this post with me quite some time ago about … Continue reading Who said you need 10,000 steps?

5 Ways Running is Like Crocheting
Crocheting? Running? Has CRJ gone off the deep bend? Well, that may be debatable, but sometimes it's good to have a little fun with your running -- and your blog. My mind is a strange place that likes to come up with analogies. Think crocheting and knitting have nothing to do with running? Despite the … Continue reading 5 Ways Running is Like Crocheting
Brash: Ok or not OK?
Brash: heedless of the consequences Brash. Running. How do these two things come together? I think all too often they do -- and sometimes it works, sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you need to heed a few consequences. You're obviously conscious of being brash or big-headed but I always knew I was going to … Continue reading Brash: Ok or not OK?
Currier & Ives: 2/26- 3/4 Weekly Wrap
On Friday our world was turned into a picture perfect Christmas card. It snowed for well over 12 hours (we were initially told to expect rain and maybe 3 inches of snow).

The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Somehow it seems as though mostly what I'm sharing is senior moments (not really -- but it feels that way!). And a long discourse on chihuahuas that I totally understand if you skip it. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . . … Continue reading The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
