Therefore. let’s play that highlight…and lowlight reel, shall [Read More]

The Comeback Trail: Third Time’s a Charm
T’was a chaotic week. The kids went back to school so summer is unoffically over. I’ve been dealing with this post.-tib. tendon injury for 2.5 weeks now and seeing Dr. Miracle (not his real name, but it should be) on the regular. This week I was permitted to very gradually ease into terrestrial running. I [Read More]
Coffee Please But Hold the Flood Water
If we were having coffee, of course I’d use one of my new mugs acquired on our summer vacation. I’d invite you to kick back in my summer sanctuary (that’s code for the deck) and we’d catch up. I’d tell you that the basement flood really threw us for a loop. While plenty was damaged [Read More]

Tuesdays on the Run: January Progress Report
This week for Tuesdays on the Run, I’m taking inspiration from Janelle, one of my favorite bloggers, and giving myself a “report card” assigning a grade(s) to running (and whatever else) for January. You’re invited to do the same, but keep your eyes on your own paper. Just kidding. For me this is going to [Read More]

This post is sponsored by EverlyWell in partnership with Fit Approach. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own. As a health-conscious individual I’m good (mostly) about eating well, getting plenty of exercise and making it in to see my doctor for regular wellness checkups.

A Big, Fat Sciatic Nerve in the Road

Watch Out 2016, I’ve Got Goals
I’ve never been a resolutioner. In fact I’m kind of a crappy goal setter. This is the closest post I could find that remotely discussed plans for 2015. My mileage tracking is ponderous at best. I may log it, I may not. I’ve never set a yearly mileage goal because I know whatever I run, it’ll be [Read More]
5 Running Injuries and How to Overcome Them
That dirty little “I” word. Let’s face it: Injuries suck. They keep us from doing what we love. Let’s talk about some common ones. Any of these sound familiar? Plantar Fasciitis.
