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]
ZOOMA Great Lakes 10K
Running has seasons. There’s a season to chase PRs, a season to run all the races, a season to challenge yourself to a new distance. One thing that’s always in season is the friends we make along the way. This past weekend I had a chance to get away on a girls’ running junket with [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.

Summer In The Rear View Mirror and a Visit from My Old Friend Perspective

With the ZOOMA Great Lakes 10k looming less than two weeks away, I’m trying to build a little running mileage. Think I waited long [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]
Back-To-School S’mores Fun!
The seasons they are a changing. While I’d sort of love summer to hang around all year long, our daylight is slipping away, it’s getting cooler overnight…well a little…the college drop-off is done and our middle schooler headed back to class as well. It’s time to get my head around a new season and all [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]
