I headed out for my run a little earlier than usual this morning in hopes of catching a magnificent sunrise. You know the saying, “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.” Well, I figured with the winter storm warning we are under that we would have a beautiful sunrise. […]
Last night we invited friends over to watch the Olympics (I didn’t realize that no actual competitions would be going on – oops), but we enjoyed catching up and watching the festivities. We ordered pizza from our favorite local delivery place, and our friends brought a kale salad from Costco (with added pomegranate seeds), and […]

We’re a quirky bunch, we runners… We do odd little things and don’t think twice about it, yet our non-running friends think we’re nuts. When I tell my friends something about a one of my runs and they don’t understand, I say, “Never mind, it’s a runner thing.” So buckle your seat belts, sit back, […]
