On my Friday on my long run, this guy passed me, calling out passing on the left. No biggie, right? Only he also said older, slower runner passing. Well, you're passing me, so obviously you're not running slower than me. I get it, he said he was 69 (no idea why he felt he needed … Continue reading Don’t Patronize me!: 11/26 -12/2 Weekly Wrap
Off Season
Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
. . . and sometimes it doesn't feel so great This Thanksgiving was bittersweet, in more ways than one. Bitterly cold, for example, which had me running on the treadmill instead of in a Turkey Trot. I've run in weather that cold, but it was just not calling to me this year. Also bittersweet because … Continue reading Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
It seemed like all the races were canceled this weekend. At least the ones I was interested in, anyway. Some of the Sole Sisters got together to run, but frankly, I need all the time I can get before Thanksgiving so it's probably just as well those races were canceled. In case you missed it, … Continue reading Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap

I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share life after … Continue reading Life after Goal Races: 10/29- 11/4 Weekly Wrap
My diet hacks revealed: TOLT
I've maintained a 40 lb weight loss for 3 1/2 years, more or less. It's not the first time I've lost that much weight, but this time I did things differently -- and it seems to have worked (even when it feels like it's not working). So today I'm Thinking Out Loud about the ways I lost that … Continue reading My diet hacks revealed: TOLT
#holottarest after #holottafun: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about running, which is actually kind of funny because until the end of the year, I'm in my off season. I'm thinking about hilly courses vs flat courses, taking the pressure off of racing, and of course, there's a Bandit update in there too. #holottarest In case you missed my Weekly Wrap post (read … Continue reading #holottarest after #holottafun: TOLT
One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016
I truly cannot believe that this is the last time in 2016 that I will hold a nice warm cuppa in my two hands, pull up a seat, and let you know what's on my mind lately. I can't say that I will be sorry to see 2016 go -- it was a hard year … Continue reading One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016
