Here we are: A new year and a new chance to have coffee and catch up. Special thanks to our lovely hostesses Coco and Deb for getting us together. If we were having coffee I’d tell you one of my goals for 2017 is to stop procrastinating my runs. Especially when it’s cold and dark, [Read More]
Vacay in Florida and the Running is Easy
Our first Tuesdays on the Run topic for the year is: What else? Running resolutions. Because I shared my resolutions yesterday, I’m going to stray a little and tell you about my holidays in Florida and the running I did there, among other things. We arrived in Fort Lauderdale on December 21, 5 days [Read More]
Abject Resolution Fail and It Feels So Good
I am back from Florida where we celebrated the MIL’s 75th birthday. If you missed it on Facebook and Instagram, the trip was pretty amazing and went 1000x better than I ever imagined possible. More on that to come. Right now let’s get to the New Year’s goodness. According to many, 2016 was kind of [Read More]
Last Runfessions of 2016
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays as we get ready to say goodbye to 2016. Time waits for no one and neither do Runfessions so let’s seize this final chance to cleanse our sweaty souls (and soles) for the year. I runfess I learned the hard way (twice) that wearing something from a race [Read More]
2016: The Final Wrap
Our final Tuesdays on the Run for the year asks you to wrap it all up. Was 2016 everything you hoped for? More? Less? 2016 was one wild and crazy adventure around here. I told you all about my races for the year so I thought I’d leave you with some of my favorite pics. [Read More]
Noom Review: What Can a Health Coach Do For You?
With the year just about over, many of us are thinking about 2017, setting goals and mapping out plans to achieve them. I’m speaking for myself here, but at the top of my list are health goals. I’m working toward being the best version of me in mind, body and spirit. I suspect I’m not [Read More]
Race Bling of 2016
Is it that time already? Yes, most of the year is in the rearview mirror at this point. All of my races for the year are finito. So let’s take a sparkly, blingalicious walk down memory lane, shall we? I’d hoped 2016 would be all about destination racing, and indeed that’s exactly how it turned [Read More]
Another Trip Around the Sun
Since I’m firmly ensconced in the running “off-season” and hamstring rehab, I’ll spare you the nitty gritty on my workouts. Let the record show I’ve been getting to the gym (empty) and to the pool (empty too). Running has been slow and sparse because my hamstring is still not feeling so hot. The final week [Read More]
New Balance Chicago Goodness and a Giveaway
This week I’m going to stray from our Tuesdays on the Run topic of Best Running Books because I’ve been off on a blog field trip and the details are too good not to share! Us runners love our shoes. Recently I was invited to visit my local New Balance Store, have a fit and [Read More]
Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bark
It was a low-key week, which was perfect. Thing 1 came down with a bug and I promptly caught it. There was hardly any running, a mere 3 miles on snowy, foggy trails was all she wrote. There was strength work and core and swimming and hamstring rehab too so don’t add me to camp [Read More]
