I'm sharing more stories about Gizmo (for those that don't know, we helped him cross the Rainbow Bridge last week -- read more about him here). As I was sorting through photos and trying to choose them for the post above, there were so many that told stories. Gizmo enjoying some time outside safely This photo … Continue reading Adventures with a creamsicle cat
Thinking Out Loud Thursdays
To everything there is a season: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud , randomly, in no particular order: things ending, another movie, sleeping patterns, and running with dogs. Because that's my life! Well, running with a dog, anyway. Expect troubles as an inevitable part of life, and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass. -- Anne Landers This too … Continue reading To everything there is a season: TOLT
Chocolate makes everything better: TOLT
I'm apparently still Thinking Out Loud about getting outside your comfort zone. I guess my trail race has that weighing heavy on my mind! No matter what happens, chocolate makes everything better, right? You must do the things you think you cannot do. -- Eleanor Roosevelt Getting comfortable being uncomfortable That was something mentioned in one of the … Continue reading Chocolate makes everything better: TOLT
I’m only half crazy: TOLT
I've Thinking Out Loud -- well, not out loud, but I've been thinking for a long time, about my car. And whether or not it would pass inspection. Spoiler alert: it didn't. But that's not the end of the story. Remember my wonky check engine light? My car didn't pass inspection. The first time. But not because … Continue reading I’m only half crazy: TOLT
Just Do It: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about how everyone fears the unknown, a few thoughts on what a runner's body looks like, the mysterious workings of the canine mind, and matzo brei. Bring on the matzo brei! You must do the things you think you cannot do. -- Eleanor Roosevelt Are you clinging to preconceived notions? I let the cat … Continue reading Just Do It: TOLT
NOLA & Sightseeing: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about NOLA again, only this time, it's about the attractions: what we did, not what we ate. Well, sort of; food might be involved in what we did, too. Despite wracking up lots of steps, even before my half, we didn't do a lot -- because of that half marathon. And because this … Continue reading NOLA & Sightseeing: TOLT
NOLA & Food: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud something very simple today: thank God for spandex! Have you ever eaten your way through New Orleans? If you follow me on Instagram (here), you know I sure did last week. I was a little afraid I wouldn't fit into the only pair of jeans I brought, but spandex is our friend sometimes. … Continue reading NOLA & Food: TOLT
Never say never: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about not being jinxed by well wishes for a PR in my upcoming race, and everything race related. Of course. Plus the furkids. Of course. Trying something different I've pretty much been trying to lose weight for the last 8 years or so. That includes during training for all my halfs. This … Continue reading Never say never: TOLT
Loving Lately (1): TOLT
Today for Thinking Out Loud I'm simply going to share with you some of the things I'm loving lately. While this may come off as a sales pitch, it's not meant to be. I love reading about stuff other people love -- and as was the case with Wendy's recommendation below a few paragraphs, sometimes it's something … Continue reading Loving Lately (1): TOLT
Putting on your oxygen mask: TOLT
I sit down here at my computer, with no freakin' clue what I'm going to be Thinking Out Loud about today. A smart blogger would probably just move on to polishing her Friday post, which is about 75% written. I never claimed to be a smart blogger. My blog is stuck I would love to grow the … Continue reading Putting on your oxygen mask: TOLT
