The groundhog said it would be an early Spring. Tell that to the wind, cold, and snow we're having lately. What does a large furry rodent know, anyway? Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date, cause I have lots to share with you and want to hear what … Continue reading Where’s my Spring?: Spilling over tea/coffee March 2019

Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Fall arrived in a big way this week, but not before Summer battled for it and almost finished me off. Seriously, a couple of days with highs in the low 80s, a super humid run, then temps plummeting to the point where you're trying to figure out how to dress for running outside. I'm joining … Continue reading Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Dog Days Running: Spilling over tea/coffee August 2018
July was a busy, busy month, but it culminated in a much needed racecation. I'd tell you I've added yet another tea mug to my collection (I try to get a mug from each state I run a half in -- read more about that here). Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for … Continue reading Dog Days Running: Spilling over tea/coffee August 2018
Let purring cats lie: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2018
I won't lie: the last couple of weeks have been tough. Some of the stress going on I'm sharing here, others I'm not yet ready to share on the blog. In the scheme of things, though, I'm still pretty lucky and I'm still writing my gratitude list every night. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and … Continue reading Let purring cats lie: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2018
I need shoes! Stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee June 2018
I seriously can't believe that I am striking out finding the running shoes I need at a decent price from all the usual suspects. Our local Fleet Feet doesn't carry my Newtons. There is another really local store (as in not a chain) but it's a good thirty minute ride from here. I'd tell … Continue reading I need shoes! Stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee June 2018
Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
Hibernating would be great if I were living off my fat like a bear does. Except the only thing that really is hibernating is my activity -- unlike a bear, I'm still eating. I try to be more mindful and make better choices knowing that I'm not moving as much, but, as they say, #thestruggleisreal. … Continue reading Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
Let sleeping dogs lie . . . : Spilling over tea/coffee December 2017
. . . sort of Our weather -- as usual -- has been rather schizoid recently. Mostly cold --- like February cold -- and most days there is a lot of tea consumed in my house. But sometimes it's a green smoothie -- not often enough once the mercury dips, but you'll have to read … Continue reading Let sleeping dogs lie . . . : Spilling over tea/coffee December 2017
Yay for Procrastination!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2017
It's been a frustrating week -- no wait, kind of a frustrating month -- and so I have a lot to spill over my cup of tea. And yes, normally I'd link up tomorrow, and I was working on a normal Friday Five post, but it needs a bit more attention and I'd already started … Continue reading Yay for Procrastination!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2017
Where do we go from here?: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2017
Nope, we're not moving. Not yet. Not for quite a few years most likely. But we think about where we want to move to. But first it's been a long time since there was a Bandit update. Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . … Continue reading Where do we go from here?: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2017
To everything there is a season: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud , randomly, in no particular order: things ending, another movie, sleeping patterns, and running with dogs. Because that's my life! Well, running with a dog, anyway. Expect troubles as an inevitable part of life, and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass. -- Anne Landers This too … Continue reading To everything there is a season: TOLT
