So today’s run was more like a short run and an extended walk, then another short run, then a stop for some pics, then run, then walk, then stop. My run to the hermitage and back – approximately 2.4 miles – took 44 minutes. That is record slow time. To make up for the record… Continue reading Run on a Clear, Sunny Sunday Morning

So, when I had to crawl outside this morning to get child #5 to physical therapy by 7 am, it was 1F. Thankfully, the car was parked in such a manner that I didn’t get… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside …
