I think February might be dubbed the month of self care, as in the month I got back into trying to take better care of myself -- so that I can care for others. The weather was wild and wacky: wind, cold, record breaking heat, killer snowstorms, freezing rain -- yes, all in one month. … Continue reading February 2017: Did I pass?
Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap
Read the title anyway you wish: I'm thankful we got some sunshine and warm temps, or I'm sad that the sunshine (and warm temps) are gone just in time for my long run. Both are true! Nothing super exciting about this week. Good runs, challenging runs, a run with Bandit. The snow finally melted, so … Continue reading Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap

The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about how I seem to fight the battle of the bulge every winter. Do I suffer from some mild SADD? Yes, absolutely. Am I less physically active? Probably. Even though I am running way more miles than I normally do in winter, it's just harder to get in extra activity when you're … Continue reading The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT

. . . Runners Need Yesterday was President's Day -- it's a holiday that often escapes my notice, as I don't have kids in school, and seriously -- who thinks about President's Day except for the kids? We should, though; Presidents have many qualities that runners really need. Vision Say what you want about Obama, … Continue reading 5 Presidential Qualities . . .
Zzzzz: 2/6-19 Weekly Wrap
This week was still long, still tiring, but minus the snow shoveling, not nearly as bad as the previous week. And I had a nice birthday (more on that in my weekly favorites). The best part?

5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter

Today's subject for the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy is 5 winter fitness rants. Only five? I could probably write a book. … Continue reading 5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter
Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
I don't have any crispy new tricks for you, that was just my way of Thinking Out Loud and trying to lure you in. Did it work? Just give me crispy! Apparently if a menu item has crispy in the description -- sweet or savory -- I'm all over it. I love my sushi with "crispy" in … Continue reading Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
All the miles . . .
. . . all the food Oh, how I wish that was true: that I could just eat whatever I wanted to because I run. I found out quickly, training for my first half marathon, that that is just not the case. Nor for me, anyway. But I do love the fact that I do … Continue reading All the miles . . .
Devoloping Character: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
