Today I met my old running partner to walk. I'm not sure why I still refer to Sara as my old running partner, but I do. Sara and I first met in 1997 when she was a transcriptionist for a cardiologist I worked for at the time. A nurse invited her to run with us …
Took a few days to step away from reality and escape to the mountains. Escape can be good for the soul. While I know reality was still on my mind, I felt I wasn't in the eye of the storm at the time. I kept sending my brother daily texts to make sure he was …
It's been over a month since I wrote my last blog post. I feel guilty for taking so long, but life has been a tad crazy. I don't know about any of you, but I'm so over 2020. This truly has been the worst year ever. During the month of July, I felt like I …
My hunka hunka has been asking for salmon patties. (Excuse me while I contain my nausea) I have these horrific memories of my mom cooking salmon patties. That smell is up there in terrible dinners when she cooked liver and onions, or sauerkraut and weiners. This girl just cannot stomach that odor. AT. ALL. Thankfully …
Today was a hot one. Traditional midwest humid day. I love this weather. I loathe snow and ice. However, it does create a bit of a running issue. Tomorrow is my normal running day, but my schedule will not allow it. I figured I would venture out today, but with caution. Heat and humidity both …
Today is the saddest day of the year... summer solstice. Tells me that winter is on its way. It was mega hot but I knew I could not pass up running today. My running has been a little off lately. But I must run in celebration of heat, sunshine, summer, life. Photo by Jonathan Petersson …
This is my 100th blog. I'm excited. Thank you to my followers and I hope you continue to stay with me. One of my followers/friend/coworker told me yesterday she enjoyed my food blogs the most. I haven't written one in a while, so why not today? I didn't realize pork chops seem to be my …
My running is consistent. I no longer call it wogging so much, as I feel like I'm in my zone again. With any run, I have a method to my madness. I'm obsessed with headbands. I have been since about 2011-2012. I have baby fine hair. It can be annoying. My mom always said it …
I try not to ever write anything negative, but something has bothered me all week. My blogs primarily consist of running, food, and missing my mom. I have had this blog nearly two years. I pay for the site and enjoy sharing my thoughts. I would always share my blogs on Facebook so my friends …
This run is from Saturday, but I'm just now sitting to write about it. Being in the midwest means heat and humidity. I've been waiting on this weather impatiently. It takes a while to acclimate to the not-so-fun breathing difficulties and the feeling of heat striking your lungs like a torch, but I sure love …
