Temps today was an ultimate fall day. Not a fan. Chilly. Damp. Depressing. BUT...today was almost like old times (minus me complaining about the weather). I met my old running partner for a walk. I enjoy how close we are to each other, just barely over a mile. She sent a text and asked to …
Leaves are falling all around that just tells me winter is on its way. I stepped out to run today. This is the first time I have run, and much less blogged about running, in forever. I know all you runners have missed me. <insert sarcasm> The sun was shining bright and I could not …
I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since Jim passed. I miss my brother more than I ever imagined. We talked every single day for so long. Even last night I saw something I wanted to ask him about...I went as far as pulling out my phone to text. As soon as I saw …
This morning (9/21/20) I lost my job. I knew for a couple months I was going to, but I just didn't know exactly what date I would be fired. Folks on the outside looking in may not realize how important my job was to me. I never expressed it, but it was the toughest and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
It's been a week since I purchased my new running shoes. (Blog: My New Kicks). Yesterday was my fourth time using them. I have to say I think they do make me run faster. I read where it would take a few runs for my joints to adjust to the alignment. That reviewer was NOT …
One thing I will always spend hard-earned money on is running shoes. My footsies are important. Add weak ankles to the equation and it increases my need for better shoes. As I aged through my running years, stability shoes are a requirement. If you're just entering my running blogs, I severely overpronate and have sprained …
