A short visit to my mom, who seems to be doing well. I suspect the change in some meds and the fact that she's on oxygen accounts for that -- although the oxygen is literally a drag. The rest of the week was run, hike, rinse, lather, repeat! Fall is in full swing here, so … Continue reading Anniversary Hiking: 10/18 – 24 WRD

Fitting in Fitness Whenever You Can
I have spend quite a few months going back and forth to my mom recently. Much of my time at my mom's is spent helping her out, figuring out meds, taking her to doctors appointments. Did I mention that I sleep on the couch, with her plethora of ticking and chiming clocks? Even so I … Continue reading Fitting in Fitness Whenever You Can
Should I Stay or Go Now?: 10/11 – 17 WRD
The week started out with my Mom on her way to the hospital. Seriously, I took her to the cardiologist the previous Tuesday and by the next Monday she was in the hospital with (supposedly) pneumonia. With assurances from my sister that she wasn't at death's door and the very limited hospital visiting hours, I … Continue reading Should I Stay or Go Now?: 10/11 – 17 WRD
When to Save, When to Spend
Running is supposed to be a cheap sport. I'd like to say it can be, but you need running shoes -- and at the very least probably a couple of pairs a year. Running shoes are expensive! When to Save I'm pretty sure my "when to spend" list will be longer than my "when to … Continue reading When to Save, When to Spend
Just Keep Moving: 10/4 – 10 WRD
As I work on this intro, it's Friday. At least this week I know what sidelined me! I was at my mo. The week went south from there with all sorts of stressful stuff. Getting older just ain't fun, and caring for the elderly can sometimes make you feel ancient too! I'm joining Kim @ … Continue reading Just Keep Moving: 10/4 – 10 WRD
How Long is Your Long Run Really?
I was walking Bandit one day last week, thinking about my "long-er" runs and how much more manageable short long runs seem (if that makes sense). I had already decided on this topic for todays post, then I was texting with another runner friend. She is also not running very long these days or racing, … Continue reading How Long is Your Long Run Really?
1 Step Forwards, 2 Steps Back: 9/27 – 10/3 WRD
Another busy week; mostly in a good way. Finally got to check something off my to do list that I've been struggling with for months. Getting that done, the RRCA course done, the First Aid/CPR course done -- all those things were a big relief to me. Then the jury duty notice came in the … Continue reading 1 Step Forwards, 2 Steps Back: 9/27 – 10/3 WRD
Look Inside to Awaken: September 2021
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.-- Carl Jung It's funny how stuff from Carl Jung aligns with Yoga Philosophy, and yet, apparently, despite some Yoga practice, Jung absolutely felt Westerners shouldn't practice Yoga (there's a lot of interesting blog … Continue reading Look Inside to Awaken: September 2021
Welcoming Fall in Shorts: 9/20 – 26 WRD
Having the RRCA test off my plate was a huge relief, and I also knocked out my First Aid/CPR course this weekend -- so I should get a certificate as a running coach in the next couple of weeks. The online First Aid/CPR course was interesting -- no Zoom, self paced, and you are sent … Continue reading Welcoming Fall in Shorts: 9/20 – 26 WRD
C is the Most Important Letter
Consistency It wasn't that long ago that I wrote a post about the ABCs of running (you can read it here), mostly to remind myself of things I would need to remember when I toe the start line of a race again. Except I still haven't and right now I have zero plans to do … Continue reading C is the Most Important Letter
