Writing and running go together. No you don’t have to run to be a writer nor do you have to write in order to run but it does help. Well it helps me. In a weird twist of the worst timing ever we had to make the painful decision to say good bye to my […]
So I was just hanging there like a side of beef….
January 25, 2022 by
Yes I was just hanging there like a side of beef waiting to be rescued. Wait I am getting ahead of myself. Have to give you a little background first. Of my many talents one of them seems to be hanging around by a tether from high places. Once I did it upside down. Well […]
Interruptions on the Run…
February 18, 2021 by
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 […]
