Someone very wise once told me that it is the spaces between the notes that truly makes the music. I wonder if that holds true for interruptions on the run. I don’t think so ..insert eye roll. Way back when in 2017 I was on a serious running kick. I was starting out with a […]
So what do I do??
May 15, 2017 By
I imagined this scene the other day where I was at a dinner party and someone asked me ” So what do you do?” In my somewhat twisted mind that is a bit of a loaded question. I could answer everything from “well I walk my dog everyday” to “I’m a nurse” to ( if I […]
In the midst of my year of running, life happened ..sadly!
April 24, 2017 By
After a long absence from running which I blamed on breaking my wrist a year ago ( lame excuse but an excuse) I started out the new year with high hopes to get back into running consistently and training for a local 10k on April 1st. The irony of having my first race of 2017 […]
Trying to overcome my swimming anxiety…
January 10, 2017 By
Yes I have swimming anxiety. Not the kind that makes me fearful to go into the water. As a matter of fact I’ll be the first one to jump in the deep end with my grandkids and the last one to get out. I love the water. I hate the water. Wait..what?? It’s true. If […]
Before I could run I had to fall in love again…
October 26, 2016 By
I used to think a 5k was easy. Let me be honest. I used to think a 5k was “too short” or in other words beneath me as I was a more “accomplished’ runner and did 10k’s and half marathons and had aspirations to do a full marathon. And then I stopped running. I stopped […]
How I “became” a “real” runner on Saturday!
November 18, 2015 By
I recently read a comment from a fellow runner on another blog that said despite the fact she had run 20 marathons ( yes 20!) she still didn’t consider herself a “real” runner. WHAT??? 20 marathons is 524 miles….whoa. It got me to thinking what makes someone feel like a “real” runner. Obviously completing […]
How my exercise “cheat” turned awesome
September 2, 2015 By
So I have to admit that this summer hasn’t been the best for me on consistency with my running or any kind of exercise. Not that I haven’t been active. Between hanging out with my very active 6 grandkids, running up and down the halls at the hospital, yard work and my dog I haven’t […]
Thoughtful Thursday??? In a backwards sort of way
July 2, 2015 By
If you follow my posts you know the hubs was home for a week. If you missed it you can read it here and if you are really curious how all that started you can read about it on this post. He left me with a mowed lawn, a powered washed house and new tires […]
Running on Wisdom
May 29, 2015 By
So here is the best thing about running at my age. I can run with wisdom. I am not trying to be first, not trying to be the fastest, or do the longest run. I am doing it because, well because I can. As the saying goes ” “Today I can run. One of these […]
Finding joy in starting over…
May 26, 2015 By
I just went for a run. The first in a very very long time. The list of reasons is unbelievably long. Everything from traveling, to bad weather, to hating the “dreadmill” to the simple “I don’t wanna do it” Of course, when I decided enough was enough and it was time to get out there […]
