This is my second post in a series about my experience running Ragnar Relay Adirondacks. Dear Turtles, Thank you! Running a Ragnar Relay has been something I have wanted to do for forever it seems. Truthfully, it has been two years that I have wanted to run a Ragnar. RagnarADK – for those who do… Continue reading Dear Turtles
This is the first in a series of posts on my Ragnar experience this past weekend. I started and ended my trip with a bus trip, a yellow legal pad and a pen. This post was written on Thursday, September 26. Special work goes into running a relay, especially a Ragnar Relay with 11 other… Continue reading On the Road Again
Friday morning, eleven women and myself will start the journey from Saratoga Springs to Lake Placid. We are running the Ragnar Adirondack Relay. I cannot wait. I am anticipating this relay so much I started packing over the weekend. Big mistake! I need that running gear prior to leaving. Oops! I am runner six. I… Continue reading Ragnar Alert
A few weeks ago, I started a post that was going to be my opinion on one thing that was happening in the world.

I’ve written about my journey to a healthy lifestyle many times. I think I may be up to a part four when I write about it again. I did, though, just realize that maybe I should really think of this healthy living as more of a journey than I have in the past. I should… Continue reading Life’s Journeys
I really wanted the title to be “Training Time is Trying Time” but that might lead you astray. I am not saying that my training is not trying – trying to push my body to a new level, trying to push my patience as it does not come as easy as I would like –… Continue reading Training Time is a Time for Trying
August was a month. That is about all I really want to say about it. I have been in a funk of some sort through most of August and it has shown in both my marathon training and other parts of my life. The funk is undoubtedly influenced by many little things I call life… Continue reading Looking Back on August
