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
Sweetness
I made some granola Saturday and used almost the very last drops of a jar of honey that I bought last spring while I was in Germany.

If that doesn't sound all that exceptional, let me add another detail - our mats were set up in the middle of South Pearl Street. Pretty cool, right? … Continue reading When the spot for hot yoga is South Pearl Street
