I recently ran my 6th half marathon - a claim I never imagined writing, much less accomplishing. The race, Rosendale Runs organized by the Shawagunk Runners group, was essentially a rail trail course, with a couple of miles at the beginning on the road. It was my first time running this race and I really … Continue reading A half dozen halves

Bees and bruises – Moreau Lake 15K Trail run
This time of year is incredibly busy. There are school meetings and events, soccer games and doctor's appointments all to be worked into a calendar already full of other mundane tasks. This means there's a lot of picking and choosing when it comes to selecting races in the early fall. Last week Lunar B*tch Karen … Continue reading Bees and bruises – Moreau Lake 15K Trail run
Dog days of summer

It's all just too much. But, I do enjoy early mornings in Saratoga. There's a simple beauty to the horses trotting around … Continue reading A Saratoga Trifecta – Track, Farmers Hardware & Violet’s
Day trip – Mass MoCA
Took a quick drive over to North Adams yesterday to see the Nick Cave exhibit. I mean, I had to - too many of my friends have posted pictures of the installation and I needed to see it in person. We did a loop - taking the Petersburg Pass on our way east and coming … Continue reading Day trip – Mass MoCA
Tidal time
Just back from a quick trip to the Cape and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the speed of life. It was a three-day trip and we packed in a lot of time outdoors, a couple of beaches and bike rides and a few margaritas. There were friends in Provincetown to drink with and the weather … Continue reading Tidal time
