Have you ever asked a writer, someone who writes prolifically whether for money or for joy, if they ever read? You will find that good writers read all the time. I am a voracious reader. I average 20 to 25 books a month when I am not at a peak training period for a race.… Continue reading Reading and Writing
I’m not talking about inability to stand on one foot for very long. I’m also not talking about the fact that if I were to take a field sobriety test I would likely fail it stone cold sober. I have no balance. Today, as I was looking over where I am on my goals for… Continue reading Balance
I’ve been searching a lot lately. Part of that search has included not writing here very much. What have I been searching for? I’ve been searching for my direction. I always said as soon as my youngest graduated from high school I was out of here. I never thought I would live my life about… Continue reading Searching
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
I am seriously thinking that each month goes by quicker as we get older. That can be the only explanation for how fast July went by. I need to start cracking down to get to some of my goals by the end of the year as these months are going by so quickly. Top that… Continue reading Monthly Goal Check-in
Yes, another month has come and gone in 2013. I am really finding it hard to believe we are starting the third month of this year. Anyway, the start of that third month means it’s time to look over where I am with my goals. I made no progress at all on my running… Continue reading Goal Check-In
I don’t think I truly coherently – and I may not be coherent about it again this year – wrote down any goals for 2012. I did post my running goals on my profile at Dailymile.com but did not blog about them extensively. This year I have more goals, though not resolutions. These are goals… Continue reading 2013 Goals
Upstate New York is finally paying for the lovely October – okay, so there was one small snow storm, beautiful November and almost pristine December weather that was had. It is January, a new year, a new decade and evidently a new weather trend – cold. What is one to expect when living in Upstate… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Not only do I love to read, I really think that is what summers are all about – friends, family, maybe a beach or two, tons of music and good reads! Some of my favorite summer reads have been discovered by accident. I love Jimmy Buffet’s novels. Two summers ago was the discovery of this… Continue reading Summer Reading
I have to admit that I am a huge “Sex and the City” fan. I never watched it when it was on HBO as I didn’t have HBO but my daughter would watch it at friends’ homes. We would rent the season’s DVDs and watch an entire season at a time. I still watch the… Continue reading Summer Movie Time
