Easing back into activity, again! The weather was pretty atrocious for much of the week, lots of cold rain. I was able to run outside the two times I ran. We did have a beautiful day on Wednesday, but I had some errands including a haircut -- a girl's gotta have priorities! I didn't take … Continue reading Here’s to you, mammas: 5/6-12 WRD

Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
Yup, had this post *almost* ready to go last week, but not quite ready. So I'm wrapping up April today. Technically I only missed running those last couple of days in April. No real plans for any big goal races any time soon. Heck, at this rate the 5k the beginning of June will be … Continue reading Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
Making Love Out of Nothing At all
March's earworm is Air Supply. Yes, I was actually a fan back in the day and even saw them in concert many decades ago. March is a big birthday month in my family, and there was a lot of celebrating going on. Almost had the entire family together Sunday, but were missing my brother & … Continue reading Making Love Out of Nothing At all
I Can’t Make You Love Me
Still riding the love train (read about it here), and this month I give you Bonnie Raitt. You're welcome. I chose that one because sometimes races are just ok -- not necessarily anything you did or didn't do, it happens. Last month it was "What is Love? Baby Don't Hurt Me". Well, my race (read … Continue reading I Can’t Make You Love Me

The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him. When you're in caretaking mode, you don't realize just how much time that caretaking consumes. I didn't really think that he was that … Continue reading The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap

The days may be getting longer; Phil didn't see his shadow and I saw a flock of Robins -- Spring's around the corner, right? Maybe. And maybe not. One thing's for sure -- you can stick to exercising in the Winter -- sometimes you just have to get creative with it. Get the right gear … Continue reading 5 Tips to stay active in Winter
Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 8: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Normally running is my go-to for stress; it has gotten me through many difficult times in my life the last 10 years. I did not want to run this week after we put Giz to sleep, although I did my runs and have kept as active as … Continue reading Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
What is love? Baby don’t hurt me
To keep my word for 2019, Love (read about it here), in mind, I came up with the idea to title each month's wrap with a song title that includes love. Lucky for me there are many, many songs with the word love in the title. The subject does not refer to being injured. I … Continue reading What is love? Baby don’t hurt me
