I cannot believe it’s been twenty years since 9/11, even though I’ve been thinking about it since my Japan anniversary. Amazing to think how many alive now for whom it’s history and not something they lived through. I’ve already blown up social media, so for this just have Tribute in Light from the Ferry and… Read More »
and not just because Darlene and Deborah were in town and then I got out of town for a few days. Lots of walking this week to go with the runs which meant hip stayed nice and loose. Win win. Quick Weekly Run Down with Deborah and Kim: never miss a Monday: and I’m… Read More »
Rachel nailed it when she posted in July about summer training and I’m trying to keep that all top of mind when “easy” runs feel like I’m just starting to run again. I’m proud of myself for continuing to run outdoors in all the weather, but I hate hate hate summer running. Will I go… Read More »
I didn’t take my laptop on vacation, but had the best laid plans of crashing a post last Sunday. That did not happen, and then I never really caught up during the week, so linking up with Deborah and Kim for a highlights rundown. As we’ve all been saying, the humidity has been horrific this… Read More »
I’ve been struggling with blog titles lately but this one wrote itself when Kim pinged a few of us about Matty Maggiacomo’s SUMMER CRUNCH challenge.

July came in like a furnace with heat indices over 100 and ended with a 60 degree morning run, and no I’m not in Stowe (yet). This won’t last, but I treasured it on Saturday. I won’t miss the summer heat, but there’s something carefree about summer, even amid COVID-19 that I will miss. There… Read More »

On the book front: Daniel Silva The Cellist (review TK this week), Stephen King/Richard Chizmar’s Gwendy’s Button Box, Gwendy’s Magic Feather and Kevin Chapman’s Fatal Infraction. Mysteries… Read More »
this belongs in either runfessions or coffee talk, but the odds of my getting a post together for those? About as good as waiting for the library hold on the new Daniel Silva — I made it five days and bought he book. No, I haven’t traded in my coffee mug. I will always be… Read More »
Although with the heat this week, there wasn’t always the energy to run the 10K either. Those mornings when I set the alarm for a time I didn’t know existed to go out for a run helped me through some of the toughest tests of my life. Words of wisdom though from a book I… Read More »
That’s all I have to say about the weather, especially as I’m quite lucky compared to those in the Pacific North West. It was miserable here, but not unsafe. To those of you who can run happily in this, more power to you. While I quit chasing steps, I still log them. Here’s where I… Read More »
