I'd been stalking weather for this year's Stockadeathon for a while and finally signed up on Tuesday. With another very stressful week on the family front, I was definitely feeling run down by race day and kind of questioning why I thought this was a good idea? Packet Pickup Packet pickup is always easy, and … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/10/19

Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019
I got a small break in October (see last month's "grade" herefor what's been going on), but it ramped up at the end of the month with my Dad's discharge from rehab and scrambling to try to find a suitable aide for him. They don't give you much notice. Running continued pretty strong, and since … Continue reading Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019
Missing you: September 2019
September was the month it all fell apart. In case you hadn't heard, we went to visit my parents on Labor Day, and my Dad ended up in the hospital that night. He spent almost a week in the hospital and is still in a rehabilitation center -- except then he ended up back in … Continue reading Missing you: September 2019
Pollyanna gets peeved

Who wouldn't love a taper? Only a crazy person! Of course there are a lot of crazy runners out there. Runners who run because it lets them run off the crazies.

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
I’m not a get up and go girl
I admire the runners who get up, maybe drink some coffee and eat some toast, and boom! They're ready to toe the line at a race. Getting ready for a long run or race is a process for me. It starts the night before I try to make sure everything is laid out the night … Continue reading I’m not a get up and go girl
Do the loco-motion with me
Do I have a favorite running shoe? Bwahaha! You've read about my struggles with finding my Newton Motions, which yes, is my favorite running shoe. Why did I have to fall in love with a shoe made by a small company? Then why did said small company get even smaller, the shoes even more expensive … Continue reading Do the loco-motion with me

I'm with you my love The light's shinin' through on you Yes, … Continue reading Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019
Why am I here?
Or finding what I want to be when I grow up. I often tell people that I'm a sort of jack of all trades, master of none sort of person. I've dabbled in a lot hobbies, some coming and going regularly, so for just a very short time, others for the long haul. I've spent … Continue reading Why am I here?
