My brother talked our parents into letting me join the high school track team when I was in eighth grade. At the end of the season, I won the 110% trophy. It was the coach’s way of saying, “You’re not the fastest, but you’ve got heart!” I was hooked! I ran intramural track at […]
When was the last time you felt well hydrated, truly hydrated? Today I’m going to talk about why water is so important to us. In fact, I’ll give you ten reasons (in no particular order) to drink plenty of water. Ten Reasons to Drink Water Water plumps up our cells and makes our skin […]
As a couple, Bill and I have never gone out and cut down a Christmas tree. For several years, we purchased our Christmas tree from a nursery, but eventually started buying them from our local volunteer fire department. I reasoned that the fire department would surely sell the freshest-cut trees in town. Looking back, I’m […]
I first posted this in December 2015 and it remains one of my favorite DebRuns posts. I hope you enjoy! The basement was quiet without any noise, No banging or clanging of any gym toys. Just a few empty bottles, and a little spilled water, I nervously wondered if we had a free-loading squatter. Forgetting the season, forgetting […]

As sad as I am that our youngest son Daniel won’t be with us this year for Thanksgiving, his first for not being with us for at least part of the day, I’m happy that he and Jess are having a fun trip to Ireland with Jess’ family. I’m grateful that if we can’t have […]

Some days it seems like it’s been forever since my dad passed away, and at other times it seems like it was just yesterday that I last hugged him goodbye before driving home from his hospital room. Today is the five-year anniversary of his death and in tribute to my amazing dad, here’s a rerun of […]

Sometimes Mother Nature throws us a curveball, like dumping six inches of snow the day after the first day of spring, making it somewhat difficult to get outside and run. On days like that, we have to be a little creative to find other ways to burn off the crazies and get our daily […]
