“Cycling has encountered more enemies than any other form of exercise.” 19th-century author Louis Baudry de Sagnier Now that summer has arrived, I've been riding my bicycle to the restaurant a couple of nights a week.

Best race of the year – so far!
I’ve got a few running goals for this year that involve total miles run and participating in some races which I’ve never done before. I’m a little off my mark for meeting my goal of 1,000 miles in 2016, but hope to make up my deficit over the summer. As far as new to me … Continue reading Best race of the year – so far!
Mother’s Day 2016 –3 sons, 7 Sisters and two many moms with lost children

I would bake my own bread - sans high fructose corn syrup and other bogus ingredients. The thank you cards and other correspondence I would … Continue reading If I had two more hours in a day…
Doing the Delmar Dash – 2016
It wasn't so long ago that I imagined 5 miles to be farther than I would ever run - it just didn't seem like a distance that I would ever be able to run. My, how life changes... On the snowy morning that was Sunday, the Lunar B*tches united and ran one of the most … Continue reading Doing the Delmar Dash – 2016
Taking a hike with a runner
My very first vacation with my former husband was a trip to Washington State where we spent a week or so camping and hiking. It was a memorable trip for many reasons (the San Juan Islands – oh my goodness!) but by no means did the experience turn me into an outdoors women a la … Continue reading Taking a hike with a runner
