Long runs can be wonderful confidence boosters, or they can completely suck any confidence you've ever had that you could run a particular distance out of you. No matter how many times you've raced that particular distance! Many of us run our long runs based on distance. But should you? Running for distance: Running for … Continue reading Long Runs: Time or Length?

More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD
It was a busy week of errands, visiting mom, and working on projects. A cold front last weekend blew out all the hot air, only to have it come back with a vengeance by week's end. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and going longer again but keeping the "easy" runs short … Continue reading More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD
You need a Plan B
I think about the Plan B a lot -- and not as it applies to racing. As it it applies to "what if I could no longer run again?". What would you turn to if you couldn't run any longer? We all want to be that 90 year old (or older!) runner who is still … Continue reading You need a Plan B
Happy Full Moon: 5/9 – 15 WRD
It's Friday as I sit down to write this post. Usually I try to write a bit as the week goes along, but it was a busy week. As usual it's hard to remember what I did yesterday, let alone a few days ago! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and maintaining … Continue reading Happy Full Moon: 5/9 – 15 WRD
Best Way to See New Places
I'll let you in on a secret: there really isn't one best way to see new places, but I have a few favorites and I'm going to share the pros and cons of each with you. There are other ways to tour new places, of course, including bike tours, hiking tours, segway tours -- I've … Continue reading Best Way to See New Places
Wild Wildlife Week: 5/2 – 8 WRD
Poor little guy Yesterday I let Bandit out. I don't always watch him, but usually I do because I like to know when he's done something. Good thing I did -- he stopped to sniff this little guy, but obediently left him alone when I told him to. I went outside to check him out. … Continue reading Wild Wildlife Week: 5/2 – 8 WRD
Compassion: April 2022
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. -- Ernest Hemingway It's easy to nod your head and say um-hmm while just thinking about what you want to say next -- or eat next, LOL -- right? Especially when you may have been involved in something when the person spoke. This is a reminder … Continue reading Compassion: April 2022
Let the Sun Shine: 4/25 – 5/1 WRD
Some days, anyway. More sun then we've seen around here lately, with a truly lovely weekend and I've been spending time soaking up some Vitamin D outside. Sadly no hikes this week, but I think I actually needed a bit more downtime this week. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and keeping … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine: 4/25 – 5/1 WRD
Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022
I runfess . . .This actually happened in March, I think, but then I never wrote about it. I didn't tighten the top on my water bottle completely, and when I got to where I ran, about a quarter of it had leaked out. I was grateful it hadn't all leaked out or gotten me … Continue reading Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022
Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap
It's definitely been a hot minute since I did a real life race -- not since the end of 2019. This race was put on my radar by a running friend, who shared it because they donate a book to a child for each registrant -- and it's on the way to my moms. You've … Continue reading Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap
