Sometimes that's literally hitting the trails, as in falling onto them. Thankfully the falls are not often. My worst fall ever was on pavement. Not as pretty as the last cloud photo I took in this spot but still nice I runfess . . .I am really loving all the shade on the trails I've … Continue reading Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022

Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
Nope, not for you, Bandit This was my third time at the Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, my second time running the 10k -- to be totally honest, if the 5k was still an option as it was the first time I attended this festival, I'd still be running it! I last ran this race … Continue reading Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
Trail Running Maybe?
It's hard to believe that it was 3 years ago that I got the bug to run a trail race. My first. A half. Because . . . chocolate. Not kidding! None of my friends were the least bit interested in trails, so I trained alone. In fact, I ran four halfs that year so … Continue reading Trail Running Maybe?
Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
On Monday we spent the day with my parents. Despite the rain, the dogs were pretty good. Bandit (he appears here a couple of times) seems to particularly enjoy going to my parents -- until it's dinner time. We had a nice visit with my parents and some of their friends. The next day my … Continue reading Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Another quiet week, and the last of my YTT calls. It's amazing how much information we were exposed to -- many students who are already teachers commented on how it was far more in depth than what they went through in an in person training. But just how much of it have I actually absorbed? … Continue reading Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19
My first trail race was a half marathon. Yes, chocolate was involved. Of course. My next trail race? A 5k. Kind of on a whim, the day after a long run, mostly because it was a beautiful day. The next year I was getting close to my 18 mile road race, and I didn't want … Continue reading Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19

I finally came clean about what's been keeping me so busy this summer in my runfession, which you can read here if you missed it. Thankfully this week I was able to get out of my neighborhood some and run with friends! But the bugs. Forget Oh My God, Oh My Gnats this week! Joining … Continue reading OMG (#allthegnats): 7/29- 8/4 WRD
