Our windows steam up quickly with the very cold air we've been experiencing, often turning to ice crystals as I shared last week. Meanwhile I'm quietly over here, steaming away at running, Yoga, and working on a little Yoga Spring reboot. Because yes Spring actually is coming! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Steaming away: 1/17 – 23 WRD

Slowing Expanding: 1/10 – 16 WRD
I am determined to respect my body and give it the rest it wants -- while trying to move gently, too. I seemed to find a good balance this week. What I didn't find? Myself, outside, as much as usual. The ice stuck around for days because of the the mostly cold temps -- I … Continue reading Slowing Expanding: 1/10 – 16 WRD
Vacation Tales: Tea/coffee Date December 2021
Recent vacations -- ours & then Mr. Judy's -- provided plenty of fodder for the coffee klatch, although of course I'll be drinking hot chocolate.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Sam!: 6/28 – 7/4 WRD
My grandpa Sam was my only grandparent to be born in the US, and he was born on the Fourth of July. I've always thought that was special. Although he's been gone since I was a teenager, I always think of him on the Fourth.

Thanks, Coco and Deborah, getting us altogether virtually for a coffee date. It may be Spring, with all that applies -- swinging back & forth between Spring & Winter -- so I'm still drinking hot chocolate. 🙂 If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you a couple of weeks ago I was having serious vaccine … Continue reading All the Seasons of Spring: Tea/coffee Date April 2021

5 Things I’m Loving/Not Loving
End of Year Edition It's been a while since I've shared some things I love -- and some things I don't. Fairytales and Fitness One: Loving. . . My new Brooks sneakers. It was time!

In & Out: 11/30 – 12/6 WRD
Last week I managed to get all my runs done outside. This week the weather was crappy on and off, and there were two treadmill runs. I'm totally fine with that -- I still get outside to walk Bandit -- except yesterday. Cold rain all day long? No thank you. Peloton does make the treadmill … Continue reading In & Out: 11/30 – 12/6 WRD
Sunrise, Sunset: 11/9 – 15 WRD
As I go over in my favs of this week, there were amazing sunsets this week -- and some beautiful Monet-like sunrises, too. No, I'm not outside to see them, although I'm beginning to think maybe I need to grab the patio heater to watch the next one. It was another week with minimal movement. … Continue reading Sunrise, Sunset: 11/9 – 15 WRD
Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Between all the colorful leaves, the lakes/ponds, and grasses, it's been easy to find my rainbows out in nature these days.

During our 3 … Continue reading Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
