I visited my mom for the first time in almost 6 weeks, which made her very happy. It was a very busy, tiring week though, but I feel as if I accomplished a lot -- including three runs, a tiny bit of indoor cycling, and some short strength training sessions. I'd like to say today … Continue reading Private Yin Yoga Class Giveaway: 2/8 – 14 WRD

February at its best: 2/1 – 7 WRD
There was nothing remarkable about this week -- except for the fact that my mom got her first vaccine. Otherwise, pretty much same old, same old. February is doing what February does best: cold, gray, and snowy. Although I'd still say despite that we're "enjoying" a somewhat mild Winter.' I have to admit I don't … Continue reading February at its best: 2/1 – 7 WRD
The Art of Resting & Relaxing: January 2021
Remember my word for 2021? If you don't, it's clear and you can read about it here. The last few years I used song lyrics each month that used my word -- or maybe just the feeling I wanted to convey. In 2021 I'm just using quotes. I like to do something like this because … Continue reading The Art of Resting & Relaxing: January 2021
Commencement: 1/25 -31 WRD
As in let the runs commence. A little, anyway. For much of January we had decent Winter running. Not too cold (mostly), not to snowy (mostly). Unfortunately I also wasn't feeling up to running. Naturally now that I am, we've already had snow & bitter cold & a Nor'Easter maybe on the way -- my … Continue reading Commencement: 1/25 -31 WRD
6 Favorites of 2020
2020 started with the death of my father, and ended (well, on Halloween) with death of Lola. There was a lot of loss for many dear friends in 2020, too. As hard as 2020 was, it definitely wasn't all bad and I try to always look for the silver linings. My rainbow hunt Remember my … Continue reading 6 Favorites of 2020
Thoughts on Running through a Pandemic
Back in August, I wrote about the good things in a Pandemic (you can read that post here). It's easy to find bad things, but what you focus on grows, so why not focus on the good stuff? The topic today is what did I learn about myself in the Pandemic, but I sort of … Continue reading Thoughts on Running through a Pandemic

Of course it's important for your goals to be SMART, or smart, for that matter! What about outcome vs process goals? Outcome Goals Outcome goals are the end result you're looking for.

God laughs at plans: 1/4 – 10 WRD
Another fresh week, another fresh start . . .or so I thought. Apparently God and I weren't on the same page when it came to my plans for this week. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and not off to a running start in 2021. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), … Continue reading God laughs at plans: 1/4 – 10 WRD
