I say it every month, but seriously HOW can we be heading into September already?? Time waits for no one and just like that, it’s time for another edition of the Runfession Friday linkup. Let’s get this party started! I may have become too emotionally attached to my garden, namely my pumpkins. If you’ve ever [Read More]
October Currently and Kindness Update
I’m in that post-marathon place. Many get the blues at this point, but I feel more a sense of relief. Now I can run what I want as fast or slow as I want…or do something else entirely (like laundry). I have a few races left this year but I’m not letting those pressure me. [Read More]
Coffee Date: Cream? Sugar? Hormones?
It’s time for another coffee date so grab your favorite beverage, pull up a comfy chair, and let’s talk. If we were having coffee I’d tell you all about this week’s long-awaited appointment with the new Endocrinologist. I try not to whine too much about how craptastic I’ve felt over the past few years. I’ve [Read More]
Weekend Rewind: Summer Edition
I made Saturday a rest day to accommodate Thing 1’s graduation/birthday party. It was a ton of work but a ton of fun too. Oh and drama. Gotta love some family drama. Not. But it is what it is. At least the weather cooperated. Sunday I got out at the crack of dawn when it [Read More]
Lessons from the Garden…and Running
You may remember the last time I talked here about our community garden, my knickers were getting all twisted because, unlike previous years, all the plots were taken and there seemed to be some serious “players” ie: they came out with hoes blazing. Some even had their gardens professionally planned and planted. I was going [Read More]
Almost-Solstice Fun
I’d like to thank the Academy. Remember just the other day I was whining about how our community garden is overflowing with newcomers this year and they’ve really raised the bar and I’m envious of their technicolor trellises, engraved garden stones, robotic scarecrows, etc. while I struggle to make a dent in the weeds in [Read More]
Currently and a Winner
Books: Just finishing Spartan Up and started The One and Only, which was included in the June Pop Sugar Must Have Box. More on the rest of the box contents soon! Running Path: Here, there and everywhere. I’m completely off of any kind of plan until NYCM training fires up in July and it feels [Read More]
Garden Envy
By nature, I am not a jealous person. In running it’s always been me against me or the clock. Ok I may try to punk a person or two in the final stretch of a race but only because I’ve forced myself to be more competitive at that point, but mostly I just don’t care. [Read More]
Currently
Current Book: No books. I’m barely treading water keeping up on all my mags. Running Path: Cannot get enough of this one lately, as long as I don’t trip on a root. Non-Running Workout: I’m all about plyometric intervals. Drink: My true love: Kombucha. Any flavor will do. Excitement: Well my nuclear stress test was [Read More]
