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. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Grandpa Sam!: 6/28 – 7/4 WRD

All the Seasons of Spring: Tea/coffee Date April 2021
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! Not Loving. . . the uninspired colors. Of course they were on sale -- about half what I'd normally pay … Continue reading 5 Things I’m Loving/Not Loving
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. Hopefully these memories will help sustain me through the long, cold, dark, dreary Winter. Or maybe I'll find more beauty in nature this Winter; who knows? I runfess . . . During our 3 … Continue reading Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Springing into . . . Snow?: 4/6 – 12 WRD
Yes indeed, we got just a tiny bit of the white stuff yesterday -- nothing sticking, just a brief snow shower. Thankfully I chose to run today, a much nicer day. Yesterday the wind was insane. Today it was just windy. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing still more doggy cuteness … Continue reading Springing into . . . Snow?: 4/6 – 12 WRD

Life hasn’t changed too much: 3/16-22 WRD
Yet. After a lot of back and forth (I'd feel perfectly fine, then not great -- never terrible, by any means), I do believe I turned the corner -- finally! this week, and feel 100%. Or maybe 95%? My life hasn't changed that much. Not yet, anyway. Of course there are changes, but in general, … Continue reading Life hasn’t changed too much: 3/16-22 WRD
