Goodbye my sweet boy: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2019
If anyone in my life ever "personafied" unconditional love, it was Gizmo. This was not the post I'd planned to write today, in fact a week ago I was expecting to still be hand feeding Gizmo every few hours.

Wool or Bust!: Runfessions January 2019
I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to talk wool and socks -- doesn't every runner? I runfess . . . I can be a terrible procrastinator getting out for a run during Winter. Seriously, it's much more comfortable to sit around in pajamas, reading emails, meditating, giving Giz fluids . . . anything rather than wiggle … Continue reading Wool or Bust!: Runfessions January 2019
Loving 2019: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2019
Notice what I did there? I snuck in my word for 2019 (read about it here). I'm hoping to keep it in mind a lot more than I did Believe in 2018, although Believe really was a great word for 2018, as I pushed myself outside my comfort zone (read my wrap up of 2018 … Continue reading Loving 2019: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2019

Where does it all go?: Runfessions November 2018

REALLY soaking up that sea air: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2018
You know how they say how will you know someone has run a marathon? Don't worry, they'll tell you. At every opportunity. Just like I will probably be telling everyone I ran in a Nor'easter for a long. long time. Don't want to walk the dogs in a little drizzle? Really? Glad I took … Continue reading REALLY soaking up that sea air: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2018

5 Ways to Take off Pressure
My running friends know that when I train, I train hard. I rarely cut runs short. It's even rarer for me to skip a long run. I'll choose to run by myself when my schedule and my friends' schedules don't match up. Just because I train hard, though, doesn't mean that I am certain of … Continue reading 5 Ways to Take off Pressure
Your Mom was Right
Who knew that moms are the best coaches (and no, that's not me and my mom up there)? Seriously, just think about all those little nuggets of wisdom your mom has been telling you all your life. You didn't realize they had anything to do with running, did you? Neither did I, until the day … Continue reading Your Mom was Right
