Seeing that this is probably my last free weekend for the foreseeable future, I decided to indulge myself. While there are times when that could mean shopping or a pedicure, Saturday it meant taking a run, and on such a beautiful day, with a trail half marathon coming in up in less than a month, … Continue reading In for the long run

The best intentions
While my focus these days is on looking forward, I want to take a moment to reflect upon my success in achieving some intentions I stated months ago when 10 weeks of summer loomed on the horizon.

Last week was a crazy, busy week for me with an activity or event every single night other than Monday, which ended up … Continue reading Running out of my comfort zone – and county
