One of my unwritten 2023 goals was more self care. Sometimes the tool to accomplish that is a screen break. I was grateful too to be able to spend some time outdoors, which is always medicinal. While I worked from Mom & Bob’s one day, it was also wonderful to take a true vacation. Linking… Read More »
one of the things I’ve missed since 2018* is travel spontaneity. With COVID-19, the planning life cycle was both longer and shorter, if that makes sense. I’d be thinking abut a trip further in advance, but I hesitated to book because I wasn’t sure if the thing I was going for would happen, flights would… Read More »
so I runfess, that I missed my running anniversary. Strava told me when it showed last year’s celebration run, and then I saw Facebook memories marking the trip back from Florida that launched this running journey. But that’s OK, because it has always been an anniversary “season” because I had the date wrong the second… Read More »
While I have no idea how Christmas is in literally a week, I’m slowly getting festive. I have a Twig hiding somewhere but in the mean time the Christmas spirit is coming from an awesome penguin advent calendar supervised by one of my Christmas dinosaurs from Manhattan Toy.

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 love fall running. This week’s routine was all out of sorts with the Monday off and a busy work week, but the runs still happened. That generally doesn’t happen in other seasons, but I hate to miss any run in this perfect weather. And three days in a row at a museum? HAPPY CARI!… 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 »
