Valentine's Day seems the perfect time to express my adoration for Winter. In all honesty, it's a love I never imagined experiencing. Winter was always the cruelest of seasons, I thought. Endlessly long, yet filled with days which offered mere hours of daylight. Cold in a way that kept one indoors, in isolation. Yuck. Our … Continue reading My love affair with Winter

Yaktrax and making tracks
It's been a rough couple of weeks for those of us who like to exercise outdoors. I mean, 5 degrees on the plus side just doesn't beckon to me, especially when the skies are grey and the wind is kicking up. After nearly a week without a run, I finally got out last Saturday during … Continue reading Yaktrax and making tracks

All I can say is this: I mentally made it a grey squirrel rather than the despised red squirrel … Continue reading Another squirrel story!

Albany Urban (redhead) Raid 2013
When was the last time you leaped hurdles? Climbed a knotted rope? Swung on monkey bars? If you're anything like me and your response is "middle school," last Saturday's Urban Raid in downtown Albany would have given you an opportunity to revisit those glory days. Minus the one-piece polyester P.E. uniform, of course. This event … Continue reading Albany Urban (redhead) Raid 2013
