In a Holding Pattern: 5/30 – 6/5 WRD
Pretty much every day I had no idea if I'd be home, or heading towards my moms. As you read this I probably am -- but I put all that uncertainty to good use and got in 4 runs this week, going up to 8 miles. I actually doubled my weekly mileage from the previous … Continue reading In a Holding Pattern: 5/30 – 6/5 WRD
Compassion: May 2022
Compassion is the wish to see others free of suffering. -- The Dalai Lama I consider myself to be a compassionate person, but I'm not going to lie -- sometimes my mother's complaining gets to me, the way she sometimes rewrites history. The quote above is a good reminder to me to just be a … Continue reading Compassion: May 2022
Hello from ME!: 5/23 – 29 WRD

Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. -- Ernest Hemingway It's easy to nod your head and say um-hmm while just thinking about what you want to say next -- or eat next, LOL -- right?

Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Happy Easter or Passover if you celebrate! My Icalendar tricked me into thinking Passover began Thursday night. Oops! I know Mr. Judy enjoyed that brisket anyway. Turns out we had a little house drama on Friday, so maybe starting Passover early ended up being a good thing (nothing too dramatic, but annoying & frustrating). Title … Continue reading Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Compassion: March 2022
We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer I continue to work on my compassion. Elderly people can be (but not always are) very self centered. They don't realize when they tell you … Continue reading Compassion: March 2022
