I won't lie: life is much easier without Lola. The sadness lingers, though, of course, and I'd trade the easiness for more time with her, but it is what it is. Is was the right decision. My heart has been heavy much of this week, but we laugh, too, because life truly does go on. … Continue reading New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD

We can learn to love again: August 2019
So sue me: I basically picked Pink's song because I like it and it's my blog. So there. I haven't fallen out of love with running, although maybe I've fallen out of love with training hard? 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
Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019
I have to admit I didn't realize what song this was from the title, but when I clicked on the link, yup, I knew it. Who here hasn't done an early morning run in the sunshine -- maybe a bit too much sunshine? I'm with you my love The light's shinin' through on you Yes, … Continue reading Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019
OMG (#allthegnats): 7/29- 8/4 WRD
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
Action packed week: 7/5-21 WRD
It was action packed both with exercise and fun events this week. Of course there was the heat, too, but thankfully the new AC unit you installed last year is working well. The dogs still want to lay outside in the sun and are not happy when I won't join them -- and have to … Continue reading Action packed week: 7/5-21 WRD
No Trails for you!: 7/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Running went well enough this week. No swimming, unfortunately, because I felt super run down on Monday and ended up taking an extra rest day (which did the trick) and I just wasn't able to squeeze it in later in the week. It was a cool, rainy week. Until today -- a beautiful summer day … Continue reading No Trails for you!: 7/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
When you choose to do all your halfs as racecations, it's always a busy week before your race. I'm typing this at the beginning of the week, before most of what I'm writing about even happened, but if there's one thing I know for sure this week, it's gonna be busy. I'm joining up with the … Continue reading Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
Being uncomfortable is overrated: Runfessions April 2017

Join me, Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and other bloggers to see what we're runfessing; if you haven't joined us yet maybe it's time to get outside your comfort zone! I runfess . . . I managed to spray … Continue reading Being uncomfortable is overrated: Runfessions April 2017
Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
That's what training is: beta testing. Do these clothes feel good (and don't chafe)? Does that fuel sit well in my stomach? How should I carry my water? NOLA was easy to pack for, but this race is much trickier, and while I'm trying not to check a bag because we'll be there less than … Continue reading Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
This week went down a lot like my last couple of weeks: nothing great, nothing terrible. Running was hard this week. Some weeks are just like that. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? A lot of my friends were racing this weekend, but I couldn't. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
