September Goals
Compassion: August 2022
It's easy to give cheerfully when life is going relatively well. It's more difficult in difficult situations, but I am working on it and this quote is a great reminder! How did August go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsAs mentioned in my goals, I'm still pretty much winging it. I got to almost the … Continue reading Compassion: August 2022
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
I Come Back Even Stronger: August 2020
August was relatively busy in a good way. 2 trips to mom, one with a side trip. More day trips. Slight increase in running. Slight increase in walking, too. Made an effort to get in more steps.

I don't know. The nice fall-like weather at the end of the month did make it easier to fall … Continue reading We can learn to love again: August 2019
September 2017: Did I pass?
September was a good month for running with beautiful Fall weather -- right up until Summer decided to return just a few weeks before my Fall half marathon. One thing that wasn't good this training cycle? The speed work. For whatever reason, I was never able to hit my paces for speedwork. I can't lie; … Continue reading September 2017: Did I pass?
August 2017: Did I pass?
August was a month of good running, but I've let a lot of stuff slide that I really shouldn't. Let's not even talk about the length of my hair (and bangs!). It's kind of scary. So let's get right down to it. Getting in scheduled runs I skipped one run this month due to feeling … Continue reading August 2017: Did I pass?
