A while back when commenting on my post, Five Favorite Race Memories, Sherry at Run To The Mountains said, “Awesome! Running provides so many great memories it is hard to narrow it down to just five! Some of my favourite memories are relatively minor interactions with other runners – words of encouragement, laughing about our […]

Yesterday morning I looked out our kitchen window and saw Pegasus, the winged divine stallion….. He wasn’t white like the mythical creature, but his wings were. I called for Bill to grab his camera and a long lens and come quickly! One of the wild horses was munching away on sea oats in our neighbors’ […]

A race on a Wednesday? Of course! Every day is Saturday at the beach! Last summer without realizing there was a 5K every Wednesday in Corolla, we came down to our beach house for a quick stay in August from Wednesday to Wednesday, and weren’t able to run in the race. I decided to plan […]

It’s that time of year when vacationers are flocking to the beach for a week of fun in the sun, relaxing by the water’s edge, napping, and perhaps enjoying a little too much good food and drink. There’s nothing wrong with that because we’re a nation of hard workers and deserve our well-earned vacations; however, […]

Once a year, my mom’s siblings and families gather along the North Fork of the Holston River for a two-day family reunion, and that two-day reunion happened to be this past weekend. There’s something for everyone with a dammed up pool for swimming and relaxing on rafts, baby rapids on which the the little kids […]

Her answers were quite entertaining, and I hope to make mine half as fun… What is something people might be surprised to learn about you? If I hadn’t gotten my degree in health and physical education, I would have loved studying either turf […]
