. . . but fear itself Or do we? Striking the balance in training Running is such a simple sport: one foot in front of another, at whatever pace you want. Except every runner knows it isn't really as simple as it appears to the non-runner, even when it doesn't appear simple to the non-runner. … Continue reading We have nothing to fear . . .
Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Indeed Well, March is certainly marching in with plenty of wind (apparently there isn't much truth to the whole in like a lion, out like a lamb rhyme, according to this article from farmer's almanac). If my half is windy, I'll be well prepared. What I won't be prepared for is the heat. Because snow … Continue reading Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
5 Ways to Hydrate in a Race
There are a surprising number of ways to hydrate during a race. Maybe relying on the water stops works for you; maybe they've let you down in the past. Today I'm sharing some of the ways I've hydrated in races (and one way I've yet to try). Today I am joining up with the Friday Five … Continue reading 5 Ways to Hydrate in a Race
Putting on your oxygen mask: TOLT
I sit down here at my computer, with no freakin' clue what I'm going to be Thinking Out Loud about today. A smart blogger would probably just move on to polishing her Friday post, which is about 75% written. I never claimed to be a smart blogger. My blog is stuck I would love to grow the … Continue reading Putting on your oxygen mask: TOLT
ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Race Recap 5/30/15
I signed up for ZOOMA Annapolis pretty much on a whim. I'd run a half the beginning of May, and it went so well that I felt I might as well do another one. Soon. I actually wanted to do Shipyard Maine (which I would go on to run in 2016), but the race sells … Continue reading ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon Race Recap 5/30/15
What goes around . . .: 2/28-3/5 Weekly Wrap

Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Just call me bologna. As in, the sandwich generation. Well, I don't have kids, but I do have the furkids and I seem to attract the needy ones. And of course I also have one big kid. Yes, still feeling a bit squeezed over here. According to my research, the average American will have consumed 1,500 PB&Js by … Continue reading Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
5 Ways to Streamline Running
Running hacks. I'm no coach, I thought, what running hacks do I know? Food, of course; I'm a foodie. Is it any wonder that my idea of running hacks is mostly related to food? Today I am joining up with the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy to talk about ways I make … Continue reading 5 Ways to Streamline Running
Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
Last week when the weather was so nice, and we actually saw the sun, I took some time and took some photos of all the furkids. Who apparently all looked chagrined -- both Lola & Gizmo actually like the camera -- a little too much sometimes -- but apparently this particular day that's all I … Continue reading Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
Running Keeps Our Minds Nimble
Nimble: marked by quick, alert, clever conception I would love to be able to write a post about how nimble I am as a runner, how light I am on my feet, how easily I hop over obstacles. Except that's not me. Good thing there's another definition of nimble. If I've got food and water, as … Continue reading Running Keeps Our Minds Nimble
