We are a quarter through the year already -- seriously, how does that happen? Join me, Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and other bloggers to see what we're runfessing as we close the book on winter (sort of, there's a little matter of some potential April Fool's snow here on Friday/Saturday) and look forward to the longer spring days. I runfess … Continue reading I broke the rules: Runfessions March 2017
NOLA & Food: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud something very simple today: thank God for spandex! Have you ever eaten your way through New Orleans? If you follow me on Instagram (here), you know I sure did last week. I was a little afraid I wouldn't fit into the only pair of jeans I brought, but spandex is our friend sometimes. … Continue reading NOLA & Food: TOLT
March 2017: Did I pass?
We continued with the weather whiplash in March, and we thought we got a lot of snow in February? Thanks to Blizzard Stella, we got almost twice as much in March. In one day. To say that made running challenging is an understatement. And then there was the cold! So how did I mange my … Continue reading March 2017: Did I pass?
Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Lucky 13? Racecations are both terribly exciting and a little bit crazy, what with all the work that goes into the front end. For some reason this time I found myself oddly calm. Was it all the meditating? Getting so used to "traveling" every week? Getting really organized because of my extra "travel"? No idea, … Continue reading Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap

Never say never: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about not being jinxed by well wishes for a PR in my upcoming race, and everything race related. Of course. Plus the furkids. Of course. Trying something different I've pretty much been trying to lose weight for the last 8 years or so. That includes during training for all my halfs. This … Continue reading Never say never: TOLT
I want to run like a dog
Or is that live like a dog? Or any animal, really Mindfulness. In the now. Being present. Animals, it seems, are the ultimate yogis. I've actually taken to calling Bandit Mr. Yogi because of his frequent down dogs. Of course Lola does them too, and Gizmo, but it just struck a chord with me with … Continue reading I want to run like a dog
Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
You'll notice, probably, that there wasn't as much activity as normal. Not a lot of dog walking. Not much cross training. Not as much strength work. Yes, a lot of that was due to the blizzard, because when I wasn't running on the treadmill, I was shoveling. Maybe Stella came along at a good time … Continue reading Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
It’s Getting Hot in Here
So winter decided to really arrive just a few days before Spring, just to mess with us. My problem? It's been cold in these parts. Like really, really cold. My other problem? My next half is in New Orleans. I guarantee you it won't be this cold. I've tried to run hot, here and there, … Continue reading It’s Getting Hot in Here
Loving Lately (1): TOLT
Today for Thinking Out Loud I'm simply going to share with you some of the things I'm loving lately. While this may come off as a sales pitch, it's not meant to be. I love reading about stuff other people love -- and as was the case with Wendy's recommendation below a few paragraphs, sometimes it's something … Continue reading Loving Lately (1): TOLT
