Yesterday was a day I was not looking forward to - the forecast for frigid weather, the loss of an hour, the long bus ride… I had a few moments when I even considered bailing on the half marathon I had committed to running, but I dug deep and found the motivation to get my … Continue reading Celebrate Life – even in 5 degrees!

Who are you?
Yeah, you. My reader. It's been more than 7 years, 2 domains and a divorce since DelSo was born. Over the years I've shared a lot of my life and self here, in print.

Trifecta of halves
I may be slightly delusional on this topic, but when it comes to running I don't really consider myself to be competitive. Unless, you're talking about finishing a race strong and trying to pass other runners as we near the finish line. That's different. Early in the year I came up with the idea of … Continue reading Trifecta of halves
