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
Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
Last week when the weather was so nice, and we actually saw the sun, I took some time and took some photos of all the furkids. Who apparently all looked chagrined -- both Lola & Gizmo actually like the camera -- a little too much sometimes -- but apparently this particular day that's all I … Continue reading Chagrined Furkids: TOLT
The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about how I seem to fight the battle of the bulge every winter. Do I suffer from some mild SADD? Yes, absolutely. Am I less physically active? Probably. Even though I am running way more miles than I normally do in winter, it's just harder to get in extra activity when you're … Continue reading The Battle of the Bulge: TOLT
Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
I don't have any crispy new tricks for you, that was just my way of Thinking Out Loud and trying to lure you in. Did it work? Just give me crispy! Apparently if a menu item has crispy in the description -- sweet or savory -- I'm all over it. I love my sushi with "crispy" in … Continue reading Crispy, new tricks: TOLT
