It’s a good day to be thankful - for all the major things, of course, like health, family, God’s providence, freedom, and chocolate. Today I’m especially thankful for opportunities to laugh, as they just make the rest of life so much easier. It’s hard to feel sober when your four-year-old is “breakdancing” with […]

Today, I went out and ran 10K for the Worldwide Festival of Races! As of right now, I’m in fifth place for the 10K race, and first place for women! Of course, the Festival lasts all weekend, so I doubt I’ll stay in that position for long. Still, go me! […]

I’d say, “Don’t ask me how I did it,” but I’m well aware of how. Starting off a race way too fast, and knowing it, and deciding, “Ah, what the heck; it’s only a 5K!” may be a recipe for a personal best time, but it’s also a good way to get a stitch […]

Yesterday was Sam’s duathlon!
It was a pretty day. I went out that morning for a bike ride, intending to follow the trail south to the Illinois border, but I made a mistake in the next town south where the trail jogs east a bit, so I got very lost and had […]

Well, would you look at that? I took first place in my age group in today’s race!
The Steve’s Encore race is on that gorgeous cross-country course, and I went out early today to put in some miles on it before the race; after all, the start time wasn’t until 9, […]

The official results have me finishing a lot slower than what the clock said! I wish I’d remembered to hit “stop” on my Garmin, but I was too stunned. They also have me as a man; that’s probably the fault of the people at Eric’s company, through which team I was registered. […]

That was fun. I mean, it was a blast! It was drizzly and rainy when I woke up (after a terrific thunderstorm the night before), […]

Well, it was freezing out. I mean, it might, just barely, have reached into the 40’s, but it was extremely windy and gray, so that it felt much colder than it probably was. The other woman from the family club who was supposed to do the run with me (she was going […]

Well, I did it!
It was as bad as I could have predicted, weather-wise. At least 60%, if not more like 70%, of the course was completely covered in snow, ice, or slush. It was very slippery in patches; in the third and fourth miles, I was repeatedly losing my footing, though I […]
