During my run the other night, it occurred to me that I was 2/3 of the way through my 46th year. The realization prompted a few thoughts... I find myself with increasing frequency wondering if an article of clothing is "too young" or "too short." This is not a bid for compliments, just the reality … Continue reading Observations from 46 2/3

Hand in Hand Run/Walk
Last Sunday I absolved myself for Saturday night's indulgences by participating in the Hand in Hand Run/Walk down in the Hudson Valley. Let me be honest with you, I'll pretty much take any opportunity to visit with friends in the New Paltz area to enjoy some "adults only" time, but the added bonus of a … Continue reading Hand in Hand Run/Walk
An exercise in acceptance

Or, it might be because of the all-things-considered reasonableness of the price of a lift … Continue reading A love letter to Belleayre Mountain
What makes a perfect snow day?
Yesterday was the first snow day my district has had this academic year - and it was well worth the wait. I understand that we don't all have the luxury of a delayed start or the cancellation of our work day due to the weather and think you should know I am very appreciative of … Continue reading What makes a perfect snow day?
Gloves are hand tissues and other confessions from a winter runner
I'm not the only one who uses my gloves to catch the drips from my nose during a cold run, am I? Don't leave me hanging out here, runner friends! It's not like I blow my nose with my favorite striped gloves, I save that for the hem of shirt, but in the winter when … Continue reading Gloves are hand tissues and other confessions from a winter runner
