Here we are wrapping up the first official week of fall and Christmas is already busting out at Costco as well as my mailbox via the Pottery Barn catalog. Rush the seasons much? It was a single parenting week here, not that that’s a bad thing. Wrangling a 14 yr old is nothing like those [Read More]
Hello Fall! Let’s Runfess
Here we are, winding up one of the shortest months in what seems to be the fastest year ever. Why must time fly so fast? Nevertheless, it’s time once again to open up the Runfessional for the Runfession Friday Linkup. Let’s get started shall we? I have the weirdest people at my gym, but you [Read More]
It’s Officially Fall Y’all!
Okay it’s not officially fall. I lied, as fall doesn’t OFFICIALLY arrive until Monday, 9/23. Not that I’m rushing the seasons or anything. It’s been a blur this past couple of weeks. In a good way, but still. Why does every single thing hit the fan at once? Just why? Weather wise our heat and [Read More]
The Week Everything Broke
Welp, I’ve been riding Blanche the trusty road bike for over 10 years now, pressing my luck and not carrying a spare tube (not that I’d know what to do with it) and finally the inevitable happened. Yep, flat tire. Serves me right, don’t you think? Here’s how the week in workouts went: Monday: Bike [Read More]
Coffee and a Coolown
It’s cooling down around here. Even though we’re not quite to mid-September, the nights are cooler and the humidity is way down. That’s a divine combo if you ask me. It likely won’t last, but let’s enjoy it while we sit down and catch up over a steaming cup of coffee, shall we? I’m linking [Read More]

Settling In To A New Normal
The college move-in dust has mostly settled and we’ve officially transitioned into our “fall” schedule here. Ozzy and I are on our own for a good part of the day. While my early morning window of time to workout has slammed shut, other parts of my day have been freed up to some extent. Here’s [Read More]
Why College Drop Off is Like Marathon Training
The day I’ve been dreading for 18 years arrived all too quickly. I swear time waits for no one. You have a baby one minute and you’re dropping her off at college the next. Before I get to that, here’s how the week in workouts went. Workouts? What are those? Monday: Rest Tuesday: Trail Run [Read More]
One Last Week Then Back-to-School
I runfess it feels kind of inappropriate to even share my workouts since, while I do have ZOOMA Great Lakes coming up in no less than 34 days, my focus is elsewhere and I’m not really training. My bad. Monday: Rest Tuesday: Trail Run 5 miles Wednesday: Sick Thursday: Sick Friday: Trail Run 5 miles Saturday: Bike [Read More]
A Soul Food Weekend at Empower Summer Camp
Life is about making choices, setting priorities, embracing adventures, and rolling with the flow. As much as I try to embrace adventure, many times obligations take precedence. When the opportunity arose to attend Fit Approach’s Empower Summer Camp, I was excited…but at the same time I was hesitant because at this time of year I’m [Read More]
