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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hard to believe I've been working from home for many weeks now. It's easy to go stir crazy. However, the secluded me is loving this quarantine. I have a great manager who encourages the work/life balance. I'm doing so much better at turning off at lunch, and at the end of the day. A typical …
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 …
