This week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic is best/worst race pics. Do you have some you love? Not so much? I thought about the race pics I have…I don’t have that many professional ones….and only one from my first Boston is displayed in the pain cave. I started going through my “stuff”. Apparently I have [Read More]
7 Ways to Overcome Junkfood Cravings
Can you relate to this scenario? Almost like clockwork, a few hours after lunch, afternoon boredom sets in, concentration wanes and you start craving something…usually sweet but salty snacks are fair game too.

Tales From the Comeback Trail
Can you believe it? It’s just about time to wrap up April. The Tuesdays on the Run Linkup asks you to grade your month. Did it pan out the way you’d hoped? For me, April was mostly about coming back from my knee injury. Slowly, I’m building back…up to 6 miles so far…I’ll take it. [Read More]

For as long as I’ve been a runner though (20+ years), spring means The Boston Marathon. Memories of [Read More]
Running Through Crazy Weather and a Field Trip
It’s sleeting as I type. No wait…now it’s full on slowing…and blowing…you get the idea.

Let’s Chat Over Coffee
A new month means it’s time to sit down and catch up over a brew. I’m linking up with Coco and Deb for the April edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date. I runfess I’ve had lattes before but never one with a fancy heart until I got to California and had TWO within days of [Read More]
What Injured Runners Do When They Can’t Run
Our Tuesdays on the Run topic this week is Favorite Spring Running Stuff. Because I spent most of March on the Injured DL, and because it feels nothing like spring here in Chiberia, I don’t have too many favorite spring running things right now, unless you count this BIG ONE: I just completed my first [Read More]
