I cannot believe it’s eight years this week. Simultaneously feels like eight minutes and eighty years. Linking up with Deborah and Kim, but really all of you who have been a huge part of this running journey. Oddly, started 2025 much the same as I did 2017, bouncing from Rochester to South… Read More »
I didn’t run this year, I raced. I did some mental math when texting with Liz and another friend and realized I’d raced (as in organized race, not speed) about 90 miles this year. That is bonkers when considering Strava says I’m at ~750 miles. “I feel seen” is possibly the most over-used comment, but… Read More »
Nothing wrong, just a super busy week. I’ll be honest, I forgot how hard it was to get runs in pre WFH and between three days in the office and it being museum o’clock, my windows were tight. Also had two mornings where I was in run clothes but couldn’t get out the door. I… Read More »
well not silence, exactly. Serenity? Linking up with Deborah and Kim for some weekly run down of squirrel footsteps never miss a Monday: on a weird pattern of running out of daylight (aka leaving the work later than planned) and running to the gym where I finish my run. Filed under, some > none Tuesday, the Cari… Read More »
who me?! I missed this. I’m back from a wonderful/insane summer and linking up with Kim and Deborah for some recent runs. Oxford: I arrived on Wednesday and was greeted with the tail end of a heat wave, which thankfully broke overnight. Before a marathon day of sightseeing, I headed out for a run. Hotel… Read More »
What a magical, wonderful experience north of the Arctic Circle. Working on a post about the trip for others who travel all that way, but for now linking up with Deborah and Kim for a recap of the Midnight Sun Half Marathon in Tromsø, Norway on June 22. I signed up for this race in… Read More »
because this post was supposed to be done for each of the last two Fridays! So over coffee with Deborah, Kim, Coco and Marcia, let’s have some runfessions and a quick rundown of yesterday’s 10K since it’s, inexplicably the race I’ve run the most (Ted will catch up in December) I runfess that I considered… Read More »
with a side of friends and fun. Linking up with Kim and Deborah even though I missed the linkup window to talk about the shenanigans that ensued last weekend. TL;DR, part of my “why not” year, aka “why not run this race I haven’t run before?” I’d definitely run it again if schedule allowed I… Read More »
There’s always something magic, there’s always something new. And when you really, really need it the most that’s when rock and roll dreams come through Fun fact, Meat Loaf was my first concert, 30 years ago this June! Linking up with Deborah and Kim to talk about my first (but not last!) Rock’n’Roll race. Spoiler:… Read More »
it sounds so much weirder than seven years running, doesn’t it? Linking up with Deborah and Kim on the 7th anniversary of my becoming a Frozen Penguin. I actually forgot it was this weekend until I woke up at o dark thirty to meet a friend who wanted to run during her study break. As… Read More »
