Sunday morning started in the dark and me in a running skirt and tank top. My sister was wondering what else I was going to wear. It was warm enough that that was it. I put on my shoes and grabbed my #runchat hat and heading to the Palm Desert Civic Park to get lined… Continue reading Weekend in the Rearview – Part Two
… try to find old friends? When I went to Richmond to run the marathon in November, I looked up one of my dearest friends from my childhood. The last time we had seen each other was when her father had died. She had come up to get some belongings. She had her daughter with… Continue reading Do You Ever…
I have wanted to run Wineglass Marathon for over a year. I decided in July 2010 I was going to run a marathon. I just didn’t get registered in time to run the 2010 edition of Wineglass. Fate had it that my first marathon was the 2011 Myrtle Beach and Wineglass – a local marathon… Continue reading Wineglass Marathon – Race Recap I
After my day at church on Sunday, I went with my fifth child to a live music festival. We both love live music and have somewhat similar tastes or can at least tolerate each other’s varied tastes in music. There will be more about the music in the near future. I saw a friend there… Continue reading The Long Solo Run

There have been days when I have put up three or more posts – short but still. Then, Yahoo! announced 360 was closing. There… Continue reading What To Blog About?
I have spent a lot of time this new year – and yes, the first month is just barely halfway through – reading and commenting on balance, perceptions and judgment. The problem, personally, is that I was not relating these readings or my comments to my own situation. While balance is, and seemingly will always… Continue reading Balance, Judgment and Some Personal Thoughts

I also have some poetry that has not yet been put online so here is one I came across recently and want to share with my readers. Let’s Be Friends “Let’s be friends”… Continue reading Poetry – Let’s Be Friends
Okay – I know I don’t want to be the person I was in high school, but I miss my high school friends. We had so much fun when we were in high school. With few exceptions, since college, I have not seen very many of them. I went to my ten year reunion but… Continue reading High School Friends
