Spring is slowly unfurling, bit by little bit. No we don't have flowers yet or leaves on the trees, but we can see they're coming and that's always such a hopeful sign. What will you plant this Spring? Literally? Spiritually? I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and easing slowly back into running … Continue reading Sighting Spring: 3/15 – 21 WRD

Download Your Thoughts!
I noticed a trend a couple of weeks ago when I wrote about my running thoughts here: a lot of us write the perfect blog post in our heads while running, and then can't for the life of us recall that perfect wording when we're done! It's so frustrating, isn't it? What if we could … Continue reading Download Your Thoughts!
Celebrating the Good Times: 3/8 – 14 WRD
Every little bit of sunshine, every Robin sighting, makes Spring feel just that little bit closer. We had very windy -- but also warmer -- weather this week. We had to try to soak up as much sun as possible this week since it got cold and windy by the weekend -- but still sunny! … Continue reading Celebrating the Good Times: 3/8 – 14 WRD
We’ve come a long way, baby!
It's Women's History month -- what better time to take a little stroll through the long and winding road of women's running. I think women have been running through the ages, in one way or another, but it's humbling to remember that not so long ago running and women were rarely heard in the same … Continue reading We’ve come a long way, baby!
Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
I'd like to say that Spring is marching in, but it sure seemed much more like Winter this week. A few dustings of snow, frigid temps with howling winds. Our hawks came back to roost, though, so surely Spring is on its way? I could have also titled this Breaking Away (remember that movie?), since … Continue reading Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
Thoughts running around, on the run
If I'm outside running, I can almost guarantee you that at some point I'm writing a post about running in my head. It's probably a great post, too. If I could actually remember it by the time I get home! When it's warmer, sometimes I'll actually stop and make a note on my phone when … Continue reading Thoughts running around, on the run
Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
Wednesday had a high of 50F! Perfect running weather. I went to visit my mom; I got to enjoy the warmer weather on my hike there, but there was no time to run. I notice how much more birdsong there is these days, and the days staying light longer. Spring takes a long time to … Continue reading Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
Reboot: February 2021
I was very clear on trying to listen to my body and slowly ease back into activity after three weeks of pretty much just Yoga and walking. I know I lost cardiovascular fitness in that time -- thanks to my Garmin automatically recording my V02 MAX -- but still never really felt much DOMs as … Continue reading Reboot: February 2021
Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Snow. Ice. Cold. Not nearly as much as forecast, though -- in fact, much, much less (except the cold part). I was able to run outside twice. My heart goes out to my friends in Austin, even while I'm actually glad (for once!) that we live here and not there. I've been without power. I've … Continue reading Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Running Pet Peeves in a Pandemic
It's always better to be positive, but sometimes we just have to get things off our chests, #amiright? Running through a Pandemic definitely has not been easy! I feel blessed that I've never been on a lockdown that meant I couldn't leave my home -- even though I am grateful for my treadmill, I don't … Continue reading Running Pet Peeves in a Pandemic
