Looking back at 2017
And looking for those silver linings When I picked my word for 2017, I wrote about having the patience to see my training bear fruit (read about that here, and my word for 2018 here).

Cohoes Turkey Trot Race Recap 11/23/17
Yes, I know it's 2017, but I was unable to find this year's logo. This is my third year running this low key, free, yet chip timed turkey trot.

Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017

Have I ever told you the story of my engagement to Mr. Judy? I don't remember (guess … Continue reading Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017
Never say never: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about not being jinxed by well wishes for a PR in my upcoming race, and everything race related. Of course. Plus the furkids. Of course.

Must get faster — how?: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about running, training, how to get faster without getting injured, and male dogs vs female dogs. Generating heat I often wonder about strange things. Like if you're a faster runner does that mean you naturally generate more heat? Do you run hot, so to speak?
