June is not the middle of the year but May is basically over so we are fast approaching a half a year gone by and I am not totally sure where that half a year has gone. I spent January deep in a relationship. When I looked back on myself in that rendition of this… Continue reading Where Has The Year Gone?
Ten days ago I ran my first race for a charity. Many of the races I have run donate money to local charities but this race I ran as part of a team of runners for ZERO Prostate Cancer. I just want to tell you all my experiences in raising money – something I am… Continue reading Running for Charity
Have you ever told someone they were an inspiration to/for you? I spent this past weekend at my 35th – yes, that means I graduated from high school in 1979 – high school reunion. I know I can always go home again as I currently live about 20 miles from where I grew up. What… Continue reading Inspiration or Inspiring?
The desert is hot and is getting hotter. The sunrises are beautiful. I am beginning to love the early morning runs. I have settled into a routine and sat down on Friday evening and plotted out an almost nine mile run that would include a midway stop at Old Town Coffee Company for some nourishment… Continue reading New Running Challenges
Partially written on paper as I waited with my daughter’s car to get a new rim on. I have had some horrible cell phone issues and just now managed to get the photos off the phone.

Helen, while a one time marathoner, has recently just started back running. She had run the route before but… Continue reading 41st Annual Forks XV – Race Recap
All photos are from various races or training routes I ran this year. I had several 2013 running goals. Many of them I reached or even exceeded but a few I lapsed on or didn’t come near at all. One of my big goals was to do a short – somewhere between a quarter and… Continue reading Running 2013
Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay, a set on Flickr. Where, oh where, did I go? Absolutely nowhere. Not this past weekend but the weekend before was very busy. I was longing for a quiet week but that was not to happen due to the activities of the weekend. I photographed at mile 21… Continue reading Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay
With the end of September comes the last quarter of 2013. I cannot believe that we are that close to being done with this year. The entire year has just flew past.
