Understandably, recreational trails are at the bottom of the list for HOA employees trying […]

When Winter Storm Jonas Turned Into Snowzilla

I felt like my entire week was a lead-up to the “blizzard of historic proportions” that was headed our way. I don’t remember when it first entered my radar, but from that moment on, I was in storm prep mode. Monday’s trip to Costco and two times to the grocery store was to restock the […]

Never Assume…

Usually I write much of my Sunday recap during the week as we go along, but I had several things going on and decided that I’d have plenty of time to get to my recap written on Saturday or Sunday, so I focused on living in the current – like getting to visit with both of our sons […]

Chicken And Broccoli ;-)

Let’s face it, I’m human and even though I work with clients daily on how to help them reach or maintain their weight loss goals, I may need a nudge now and then to remind me to practice what I preach. After slipping a little with our eating habits over the holidays, Bill and I have been […]

A Positive Start To The New Year

There’s nothing a runner hates, but loves to talk about more, than an injury… Where do I begin, and which injury do I discuss? And were they really injuries? I’ll keep it brief, or at least as brief as a runner can when discussing an injury… It started on the Thursday morning after our MRTT Christmas […]

‘Twas the night before race day when all through the town Not a runner was stirring, they were all lying down. Their shoes were placed by the back door with care In hopes new PR’s would soon be theirs. The Cruisers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of age group wins danced in their heads. And […]
