As 2016 draws to an end, I’m keeping an extra close eye on my Runmeter App and watching as my total miles for the year draws closer to a previously unimagined milestone – 1,000 miles! It’s funny. I never think of myself as really goal oriented or competitive, but there’s something about running that inspires … Continue reading She runs through the streets

Albany – it’s the most wonderful time of the year
As I close in on 30 years as a resident, I still find myself charmed by Albany.
