It's easy to give cheerfully when life is going relatively well. It's more difficult in difficult situations, but I am working on it and this quote is a great reminder! How did August go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsAs mentioned in my goals, I'm still pretty much winging it. I got to almost the … Continue reading Compassion: August 2022
August Goals
Compassion: July 2022
Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering. -- Dalai Lama The above quote rang really true for me. Not just for my mom, either. We'll leave it at that. How did July go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsRunning was going pretty well until we got to the second half of July … Continue reading Compassion: July 2022
Breaking Clear Away: August 2021
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. -- John Muir I know that it's a privilege to be able to go away on vacation, and I very grateful that it was my privilege to finally … Continue reading Breaking Clear Away: August 2021
Food for thought: July 2021
To keep the body in good health is a duty . . . otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. -- Buddha I see it all the time: people saying eat what you want because if you don't you're going to regret that you didn't enjoy yourself. I'm not … Continue reading Food for thought: July 2021
Fighter: July 2020
July was actually rather busy. A 30 hour meditation course. 2 trips to mom. A fun daytrip. Family Zoom call. Routine vet visit for Lola (Bandit needs one, too). Filming videos (which lately seems to always be a struggle). Myself and my loved ones are healthy. My mom tires a lot easier -- as … Continue reading Fighter: July 2020
We can learn to love again: August 2019
So sue me: I basically picked Pink's song because I like it and it's my blog. So there. I haven't fallen out of love with running, although maybe I've fallen out of love with training hard? I don't know. The nice fall-like weather at the end of the month did make it easier to fall … Continue reading We can learn to love again: August 2019
Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019
I have to admit I didn't realize what song this was from the title, but when I clicked on the link, yup, I knew it. Who here hasn't done an early morning run in the sunshine -- maybe a bit too much sunshine? I'm with you my love The light's shinin' through on you Yes, … Continue reading Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019
August 2017: Did I pass?
August was a month of good running, but I've let a lot of stuff slide that I really shouldn't. Let's not even talk about the length of my hair (and bangs!). It's kind of scary. So let's get right down to it. Getting in scheduled runs I skipped one run this month due to feeling … Continue reading August 2017: Did I pass?
July 2017: Did I pass?
I started rebuilding my base in anticipation of my fall half marathon. There was a bit of speedwork, some trails, some hills. But all in all, a month of easy running (and one low key, shorter race). It's been a nice break that I needed. I love to travel, but it was good to have … Continue reading July 2017: Did I pass?
