I honestly do not like giving advice. What works for me will probably not work for others. Also I don’t want to be that sanctimonious know it all that has all the answers because honestly I don’t. I am muddling through life just like the rest of you hoping I am making the right decisions […]
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 […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday : I will always be up for you..even if it’s 3am
August 12, 2020 by
I have been kind of absent here. I had good intentions to get posts written but real life got in the way and then there is my dedication to procrastination. I have written dozens of posts in my head but somehow they never made it onto paper or on the computer. In a nutshell our […]
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 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 […]
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 […]

My Relationship Status with the Treadmill: “It’s Complicated”
