I have been asked frequently what I do all day as some people think I sit on the computer and play. Well, I don’t. Imagine that! My day has, though, evolved from when it focused on the six kids and their lives only. One of the six – number 2 – is married and owns… Continue reading My Day
Saturday dawned very foggy at my house. I frequently get fog here as I am in a very sheltered valley and live by two creeks that are good sized. Realize that this plan was odd but looked like my 18 year old would get up and take me to the race. I would walk home.… Continue reading Vestal XX Recap
Strong. Strength. Healthy. Solid. Stable. No, they do not all mean the same thing but they make me think of an active, healthy person. I run. I run a lot. I sometimes bike. I sometimes swim. I sometimes walk. I need to do something else to be strong. This morning I was reading Barbara Grufferman’s… Continue reading Strong
I bounce around a lot here on the blog with topics but this one has been gnawing at me for some time. We – as in the parents out there – need to be better at knowing what are children – and that goes for those who are almost adults, too – are doing online… Continue reading Parents, Take Heed!
I can remember saying, more than once, how green everything was when I was down in Roanoke for the Blue Ridge Mountain. Good reason! They are a bit further south than I am sitting up here in Upstate NY. I have always loved when the earth greens up. We’ve had quite a bit of rain… Continue reading Green, Green and More Green
I think I have finally filled out the rest of my year’s racing calendar. There is a mix of local and not so local races. June will be race 10 and possibly race 11.The Vestal XX this Saturday is a favorite of mine. I couldn’t run it last year due to injury so am excited,… Continue reading Races and My Ever-Filling Calendar
Last Thursday, after a quick trip to the grocery store so I didn’t leave my kids to starve, I headed out on a road trip to Albany. I had been planning this road trip for quite some time. I was kind of excited as the date drew closer because I not only was going to… Continue reading Mother Runners and a “House” Party
Wooot! Happy National Running Day! Disclaimer: I am being compensated to tell you about the below contest. I think it’s a great win-win concept so would tell you about whether I was being compensated or not. Opinions, as always, are all mine because we all know I am very opinionated. Do you own a Timex?… Continue reading National Running Day
Disclaimer: I was approached to help promote this series of videos by Dick’s Sporting Goods about why people run. I agreed and cannot stop spreading the word as I love these videos. I have been compensated for my sharing the word about these videos but the opinions on them are all mine. Do you ever… Continue reading #RunFor
Wow! I truly do not know where the year is going. I use to tell my days by a school calendar because my children were in school. That all ended last year so June is no longer the busiest month of the year. It’s still pretty busy, though. And, all that busy, that is how… Continue reading Monthly Goal Review
