5 Ways to Turn Your Thoughts Around
Is it just me, or do you also have "Turning the Beat Around" stuck in your head now? #sorrynotsorry We all have runs that are harder than they should be -- simply because we allow all those negative voices in our head free reign. What if you could turn that voice around? I'm linking up … Continue reading 5 Ways to Turn Your Thoughts Around
Taking a Bite Out of The Big Apple: 9/17-23 Weekly Wrap
It was a good training week, but man, was it busy and wacky and really not the best way to train! Fasting, travel, and some rough food choices, oh my! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share balancing training for Ocean City Half -- … Continue reading Taking a Bite Out of The Big Apple: 9/17-23 Weekly Wrap
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

Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
It's always a busy week before a race, but driving instead of flying means that I have more wiggle room with when we leave (although the pet sitters really do like a time!). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wish the Weekly Wrap Happy … Continue reading Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Weather stalking. Cross training. Lots of baking -- I needed to restock the pantry! Humidity. All easy runs that never feel easy due to the weather. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home as I'm winding down (or is that up?) for my first race past … Continue reading Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Would you like me if I weren’t a runner?
I'm not sure if it's because I no longer work, or because it's just my nature, but I tend to think about odd questions. A lot. In fact, one of the reasons I enjoy running is that it actually helps me turn my brain off, especially if I'm running hard -- then I'm usually not … Continue reading Would you like me if I weren’t a runner?
