Alternate caption, which I feel like is common in race photos: Why am I doing this again? I love this race so much I will run it in the pouring rain. It was my first true distance run and 15K/10M is my happy place. I racefess though that I almost wish it had snowed. You… Read More »
This is 43. Still laughing. Probably the only thing relevant from high school was my senior yearbook ambition: do what makes me happy and never stop laughing. Check! Grateful to spend it with mom & Bob in Florida. Linking up with Deborah and Kim for a look at Thanksbirthday Week. Sunday: there I… Read More »
*pokes head in* Work has been crazy. Running has been inconsistent but finally trending in the right direction after few days with minor (non-Covid) cooties and despite an attack by the wet leaf monster last week that had me briefly worried I’d broken an ankle. Did a test run yesterday to decide how crazy it… Read More »
Not that there was anything wrong with the rest of my week, but Saturday’s Governor’s Island mischief was definitely the highlight. Not going to do a full race recap since it’s substantively the same as last year’s Haunted Island and every other Governors Island 10K, but I’ll get into it more below. There were some… Read More »
it was also a crazy busy week, but with fun stuff, which is part of what made it a good week. Linking up with Deborah and Kim to talk about fun on (and off) the run. never miss a Monday: after meeting up Sunday, Darlene and I had a plan to maybe run in… Read More »

I don’t over spoil my biological niece, nephew or my college rooommate’s children who are functionally my niece and nephew, but is it possible to say no to Disney for an eight year old’s birthday? Did I even want to if it was indeed possible? Probably not. Related runfession, I ran on the treadmill twice… Read More »
Before I get to the rundown, I would be remiss in not talking about the down side of running. A woman runner attacked at knife point in broad daylight and in the course of the investigation it turned out he was likely tied to other assaults on walkers and runners in the park that hadn’t… Read More »
but this year? It felt even more chaotic. I do love what I do, but sometimes it’s a lot to balance. Trying to get back to weekly updates and more caught up on comments. Linking up with Deborah and Kim for some semblance of a run down of the last two weeks. There were new… Read More »
Unlike some of you, I’m not sorry to see the weather go. I will miss the long daylight though. If we have a heat wave it’s because I took out the AC. I missed the breeze in my apartment. 2023 will be the year I replace my wall unit. I packed a lot into this… Read More »
