Not a whole lot to report this week. Feeling better, but almost no running. No need to push myself. Since I'm mentoring for the Freihofers Training Challenge, it's a pretty perfect opportunity to ease back into running, as the challenge follows the C25K app. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and all the … Continue reading Easy does it: 3/18-24 WRD

Where’s my Spring?: Spilling over tea/coffee March 2019
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
Happy New Year!: 9/10-16 Weekly Wrap
It was a much quieter week -- figuratively (as in more sleep, less drama) and literally (as in Lola stopped honking, although she's not completely back to normal). Maybe I should have called this "here we go again", because the heat, humidity, and rain came back -- then again, we are not battling a hurricane … Continue reading Happy New Year!: 9/10-16 Weekly Wrap
Let’s hear it for some coolness: 9/3-9 Weekly Wrap
I touched on Lola briefly in my Friday Five post (read about it here), but here's the long lowdown (if you're not interested in the furkids, feel free to skip on down): last Sunday, out of the blue, she started coughing. We were supposed to go to my parents for Labor Day, but it had … Continue reading Let’s hear it for some coolness: 9/3-9 Weekly Wrap
The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Somehow it seems as though mostly what I'm sharing is senior moments (not really -- but it feels that way!). And a long discourse on chihuahuas that I totally understand if you skip it. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . . … Continue reading The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 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
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
Chocolate makes everything better: TOLT
I'm apparently still Thinking Out Loud about getting outside your comfort zone. I guess my trail race has that weighing heavy on my mind! No matter what happens, chocolate makes everything better, right? You must do the things you think you cannot do. -- Eleanor Roosevelt Getting comfortable being uncomfortable That was something mentioned in one of the … Continue reading Chocolate makes everything better: TOLT
I’m only half crazy: TOLT
I've Thinking Out Loud -- well, not out loud, but I've been thinking for a long time, about my car. And whether or not it would pass inspection. Spoiler alert: it didn't. But that's not the end of the story. Remember my wonky check engine light? My car didn't pass inspection. The first time. But not because … Continue reading I’m only half crazy: TOLT
