September was the month it all fell apart. In case you hadn't heard, we went to visit my parents on Labor Day, and my Dad ended up in the hospital that night. He spent almost a week in the hospital and is still in a rehabilitation center -- except then he ended up back in … Continue reading Missing you: September 2019

The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
I usually try to refrain from the "ohmygosh it's already _____" statements. But ohmygosh I can't believe September is almost over. Truly, with all the unexpected travel to my parents it went by in the blink of an eye. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few other runfessions off my chest. I runfess … Continue reading The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
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.

I Will Always Love You: June 2019
Now who doesn't love this Whitney Houston song? Such a wonderful voice, such a sad ending to her life. My June was not sad, though; in fact, there were lots of fun times! June was about coming back to running -- on my terms. Running how and when I want, something we all need to … Continue reading I Will Always Love You: June 2019

I found love in the broken places: May 2019
I just modified the song slightly (I, instead of we) to fit my love songs for 2019 theme. No, I am not broken, I'm well, although over the last few months it kind of felt like I was a little broken. It's sort of going to be a theme this week, I think. Normally I'd … Continue reading I found love in the broken places: May 2019
Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
Yup, had this post *almost* ready to go last week, but not quite ready. So I'm wrapping up April today. Technically I only missed running those last couple of days in April. No real plans for any big goal races any time soon. Heck, at this rate the 5k the beginning of June will be … Continue reading Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
Making Love Out of Nothing At all
March's earworm is Air Supply. Yes, I was actually a fan back in the day and even saw them in concert many decades ago. March is a big birthday month in my family, and there was a lot of celebrating going on. Almost had the entire family together Sunday, but were missing my brother & … Continue reading Making Love Out of Nothing At all
I Can’t Make You Love Me
Still riding the love train (read about it here), and this month I give you Bonnie Raitt. You're welcome. I chose that one because sometimes races are just ok -- not necessarily anything you did or didn't do, it happens. Last month it was "What is Love? Baby Don't Hurt Me". Well, my race (read … Continue reading I Can’t Make You Love Me
