photo (37)

Todays long run was on the trails. This is what I learned: 1) I am stronger than I think – I was able to not only conquer the hills but LOVE them.  I was able to stay pretty steady even tho slower than normal pace.  Felt amazing even on sore quads and calves from yesterdays …

I dont just mean I am back from blogging once a month .. I mean .. I FOUND my mojo.   I dont know if its from the phenomenal PR I had at the Heartbreaker or that I had a nice (not really) break from running, or my diet lifestyle eating has changed.  Whatever it is, …

Madness and Randomness

I am getting old.  Its not Saturday and I am still not recovered from Thanksgiving and Black Friday.   LAME I say! The flu was going around the house here.  Liam and Marc and then Wednesday I started feeling yucky.  I played on my iPad and found a new app.  It helped! Thanksgiving was good. …

My Garmin charger broke, so when I went to get a new charger REI just gave me an entire new watch. YAY!

Its been so long. So long that every time I try to write, I think I have so very much to catch up on that I feel overwhelmed and then write nothing. The easiest and best way to deal with that is  … you know …. BULLETTS!   I ran my first 10k.  It was …

Seems like I start quite a few posts like this lately.  Seems like life has been crazier than normal this year.  Time to catch up .. Time to be present and try to find more balance.  BALANCE.  Why is it so elusive?  So hard to obtain and even when found, so hard to KEEP!?   …

Toughness and Roughness

untitled-206-21

It’s a rough day. Here I sit at the NW Nueropath office sitting for hours while my baby girl is going through batteries of tests. I have not been looking forward to this day.  A day she should be starting her Senior Year.  One that couldn’t be put off any longer. Her whole life she …
