Don’t fence me in
Running around my neighborhood and the Whitehall Road area, I notice things. It is amazing how no two runs are exactly the same because there's always something new or different to mentally note. We've been so fortunate that all of the additions (The Cheese Traveler, All Good Bakers, the newish branch of the public library, … Continue reading Don’t fence me in

My first 10K or, I run for donuts
On a recent morning that could only be described as glorious, I ran my first 10K. Slowly. I was kind of nervous about it since my body has continued to feel uncomfortable (polite euphemism for pain) from my tailbone/glute issues, and I really wanted to run the entire 10K even though there was a 5K … Continue reading My first 10K or, I run for donuts
