Wow the luster of this bright, shiny new year sure faded fast, didn’t it? The recent events in our nation’s capital make me sad. Since the election I’ve made a point to watch as little news as possible so I didn’t hear about the “incident” right away. I don’t even know what to think anymore. [Read More]
2020 Goal Check up and Running Into a New Year
Happy New Year! This was the week where I awkwardly worked between my 2020 and 2021 paper planners. Everyone at home laughs at my “stone tablets” but it’s how I roll. This past week was that glorious one where the days all meld together and you sort of forget exactly what day it is, except [Read More]
Coffee and a New Year
Happy New Year! Over coffee I’d tell you I’ve not had one single Starbucks holiday cup so far this season…until today. I finally treated myself to a half-sweet peppermint mocha. Join me as I link up with Deborah and Coco for the first Ultimate Coffee Date of the New Year. Over coffee I’d tell you [Read More]
Running through the Winter Solstice
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a fun holiday weekend! It was different this year, with the mandates against gathering, but we managed to have a pleasant week.

Final Runfessions of 2020
I hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) and that Santa was good to you. While most everything is closed on Christmas Day, the Runfessional is open. The scent of fresh pine is in the air and strains of the London Symphony’s version of White Christmas play as I sip [Read More]
Birthday Week and Cruising Toward Christmas
This week I completed yet another trip around the sun. Having a birthday so close to the holidays means it’s often lost or combined with holiday festivities. My youngest brother is a Christmas Day baby and, as a kid, felt very ripped off about sharing his special day with Baby Jesus. I never cared too [Read More]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
It was yet another week of glorious, mild weather, although we started with three solid days with zero sun. Mom Nature more than made up for it with mid-week temps in the 50s, before it all came crashing down with #alltherain. We did however manage to miss out on the snow…again. Here’s how the workouts [Read More]
Running Through the Season of Giving

Monday: Walk 4 miles, Track Intervals Tuesday: Walk 4 miles, Upper Body Strength +Core Wednesday: Walk 4 miles Run 4 Trail Miles Thursday: Walk [Read More]
Coffee at the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It’s December and that means it’s coffee time with Deborah, Coco and you! I’m going with my usual Starbucks Winter Blend with collagen and Chobani Peppermint Mocha creamer. Over coffee I’d tell you it’s my birthday month. It seems to sneak up faster and faster every year. The Caveman asked what I wanted and I [Read More]
Thanksgiving Week in Maintenance Mode
We’re winding down a long Thanksgiving weekend. While 2020 is the year that keeps on giving, can you believe we’re just about to the final month of it?? Here’s how the week in workouts went. More of the usual, and my Garmin let me know about it, by giving me a “maintenance mode” status. Apparently [Read More]
