I don’t know about you but honesty is at the top of my relationship must-have list. I want to be able to live my life honestly and talk about it with that special someone. At times, honesty can be blunt and may hurt a little but it is, after all, the best policy, right? Honesty… Continue reading Relationships and Communication
Goals need some form of accountability. We all know that. Let’s look back to my holidays and discuss my overaccounting. Like most people, I hate to think it is a given I’ll gain a few pounds over the holidays. As a runner, I have many times planned my next year’s race schedule to keep me… Continue reading Overaccounting
Even though many runners will post photos of their feet online, mine are currently in pretty rough shape so you can be guaranteed there will be no feet photos here. I’m here to talk more about how we care for our feet, whether you are a runner or nor. Remember, we only get on pair… Continue reading Feet
I’ve found online challenges to help with the accountability of my goals, including some not in my Four Fs I talked about yesterday. The biggest one I want to talk about today is a photo challenge. I have tried before to do a photo a day but have issues with that. I get to a… Continue reading Photography

Both Advent and the laundromat have waiting in common. Advent is the beginning of a new liturgical year, the start of the church year.… Continue reading Waiting
Trust me when I say you should grab a drink because this could get long. I’ll mention the expo but the pre-race fun will wait until another day. I spoke briefly with Marie, the 5:30 pacer, at the expo. I took a pave bracelet but was totally unsure I was going to be able to… Continue reading MCM – The Race
After spending three months out of the last five in the desert, hydration is always on my mind. I know that as the weather here gets colder, I have more and more trouble staying hydrated. Add to that a red-eye flight back from California which means I did not drink as much water on the… Continue reading Hydration
