Happy New Year! Over coffee I’d tell you I’ve not had one single Starbucks holiday cup so far this season…until today. I finally treated myself to a half-sweet peppermint mocha. Join me as I link up with Deborah and Coco for the first Ultimate Coffee Date of the New Year. Over coffee I’d tell you [Read More]
Running through the Winter Solstice
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a fun holiday weekend! It was different this year, with the mandates against gathering, but we managed to have a pleasant week. Before I get to that, here’s how my workouts went: Monday: Walk 4 miles + Track Intervals Tuesday: Walk 4 miles, 25-minute Beginner [Read More]
Final Runfessions of 2020
I hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) and that Santa was good to you. While most everything is closed on Christmas Day, the Runfessional is open. The scent of fresh pine is in the air and strains of the London Symphony’s version of White Christmas play as I sip [Read More]
Birthday Week and Cruising Toward Christmas
This week I completed yet another trip around the sun. Having a birthday so close to the holidays means it’s often lost or combined with holiday festivities. My youngest brother is a Christmas Day baby and, as a kid, felt very ripped off about sharing his special day with Baby Jesus. I never cared too [Read More]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
It was yet another week of glorious, mild weather, although we started with three solid days with zero sun. Mom Nature more than made up for it with mid-week temps in the 50s, before it all came crashing down with #alltherain. We did however manage to miss out on the snow…again. Here’s how the workouts [Read More]

Coffee at the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It’s December and that means it’s coffee time with Deborah, Coco and you! I’m going with my usual Starbucks Winter Blend with collagen and Chobani Peppermint Mocha creamer. Over coffee I’d tell you it’s my birthday month. It seems to sneak up faster and faster every year. The Caveman asked what I wanted and I [Read More]
Thanksgiving Week in Maintenance Mode
We’re winding down a long Thanksgiving weekend. While 2020 is the year that keeps on giving, can you believe we’re just about to the final month of it?? Here’s how the week in workouts went. More of the usual, and my Garmin let me know about it, by giving me a “maintenance mode” status. Apparently [Read More]
Black Friday Runfessions
Welcome to a special Black Friday edition of the Runfession Friday Linkup. It no longer matters if Costco’s been selling Christmas stuff since September. It is now OFFICIALLY the holiday season. Before partaking of any holiday shopping though, it would do a body good to step into the Runfessional. I’ll start. We’ve all sent texts [Read More]
Running Toward Thanksgiving
The big news here is Thing 1 tested negative for Covid (she tests weekly) and flew home from Atlanta on Saturday. Hooray! I’m not sure how she’s avoided Covid (she’s done her best with masking and social distance, but still) but I am grateful! The week in workouts was pretty much more of the usual, [Read More]
