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 …
Today was absolutely picture perfect. Mid to high 50s. Beautiful bright sunny day. Yesterday was a different story, hot and humid. I live in a high humidity area. My Hunka Hunka went for a walk yesterday morning and warned me it was pretty hot. I had a full morning of meetings and jumped out at …
This happened a couple days ago, but just now finding time to write. I'm a creature of habit, as most humans are. I am excitedly up to wogging three miles. Trust me..that's no easy task. BUT I'm one who will find something that works...and sticks with it. Right now it's my clothes. It's difficult to …
I know. I know. Another running blog. I'm quarantined! I promise I'll write a food blog this week because I cooked an amazing dish today! I wrote yesterday about a storm brewing. And boy, did it brew! Two tornadoes were recorded touching down. We were not affected other than just heavy storms, but just five …
My Hunka Hunka always uses Yodaisms. Today was definitely a "Do or Do Not" day. I woke up with a headache. After visiting my dad who is hard of hearing and cold-natured, as in the TV was so loud and it was 79 F in his house, my headache increasingly became worse. After visiting all …
What is it about moms and their healing powers? My mom was known for her rocking chair. She would rock sun up to sun down, listening to her gospel music. If you're sick, climb in Moma's lap. If you need a hug, climb in Moma's lap. If you're sad, climb in Moma's lap. She just …
My word what a past couple days. I have not been in a blog writing mood. I couldn't wrap my head around everything I'm juggling to put my thoughts into words. That's just life. It's reality. Any one of us could easily look up and say, "Why me, Lord?". Instead, I remind myself to look …
Many years ago I wrote an article for Taekwondo Times called "Running to Safety". This focused on using my trained self-defense skills into making sure each time I run, I run safely. I have had many instances in my many years of running to make my mind better trained. I have been run off the …
While out to my lunch with my Hunka Hunka today, we ran into a good friend of ours. He complimented me on my blogs, which completely delighted me. I'm never sure who reads my crazy thoughts. He talked about how I discuss my running adventures. I know I haven't written in a while. Work has …
