I'm sure most runners right about now would be willing to overlook a lot of race faux pas if they could just race! Today's subject was "What was the worst thing that ever happened to you at a race?". I've been lucky; nothing horrible has ever happened to me at a race. Instead I'm sharing … Continue reading My #1 Race Pet Peeve
Runners Roundup
So You’re Running Virtually . . .
Why not spruce up the scenery? Virtual races are all the rage right now! So far I have not participated in one, but I might for one or two when the charity is right. Just to run? No thanks! But that's me, everyone is different. Maybe the weather sucks, or maybe you have to entertain … Continue reading So You’re Running Virtually . . .
Then a hero comes along: April 2020
April continued to be a challenging month. It would really help to have Spring-like weather, but it's not unusual for us to miss out on Spring and unfortunately this was another year that that's true. The flowers are blooming, the trees are slowly beginning to leaf out, the lawns are greening up, every once in … Continue reading Then a hero comes along: April 2020
Controlling the C19 Munchies
I'm not much of a cryer. I don't drink. I definitely wouldn't say I'm not worried at times, but I also would say that for the most part, I remain optimistic: that we'll pull through this, that we'll come out stronger, that we'll band together to help all those that have been hurt so badly … Continue reading Controlling the C19 Munchies

3 Must Haves for a Bad Weather Run
I have been known to avoid running in the cold wind or cold rain or cold, windy rain with the best of them. Retreating to my treadmill when the weather isn't great. I can run in bad weather, though, and have many times. Right now you may have no choice about running outside in bad … Continue reading 3 Must Haves for a Bad Weather Run
Stronger than the Fear: March 2020
March was a doozy, wasn't it? It didn't start out well for me, not feeling well. I get a non specific virus like this often in Spring (relatively sure it wasn't COVID19 but we'll never know). I rest, I get better, then out of the blue I feel a little worse, and back and forth … Continue reading Stronger than the Fear: March 2020
So You Can Only Work Out at Home
I know so many of you rely heavily on gyms. It may be the social aspect, it may be the competition, it may be the equipment, it may simply be the variety. Most of us can't go to the gym right now. I have belonged to gyms on and off, but hadn't been a member … Continue reading So You Can Only Work Out at Home
That Made Me Stronger: February 2020
I was not familiar with Stevie Nicks' song, That Made Me Stronger. It's true, though, that the tough times we go through make us stronger. You have to go through it; no one else can do it for you -- they can only support you. The last 6 months? Hard. So hard. Did they make … Continue reading That Made Me Stronger: February 2020
