Pun intended on my title. I wish my hip would allow me to run. Will it ever again? However, Sara invited me to the gym today for the final workout of the year. I donned my new running britches and was ready to go. I have a note near the end of my blog about …

Take Right Hip Out
This is a record for me...three days in a row of writing blogs. AND I love I have over 200 followers. WOW. I hope you all read my boring blogs! BUT...this one is not a food blog. I hope this doesn't disappoint my food blog followers. I planned to stay in my dog jammies all …

Running with the Seasons
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 …

In Stitches
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 …

Headbands Galore
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 …

Hello, Humidity!
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 …

A Quarantined Me
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 …

Better Days…
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 …

New Kicks
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 …

Charge Your Batteries!
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 …
