We did a 10-Mile trail run this morning. Another deer crossed my path, only this one had big antlers. I got scared for a minute because it seemed like something (besides me) spooked him and he took of BOUNDING across the woods parallel to me at first. Then he leapt across the path ahead of [...]

This morning the running schedule was like a treat. 3 miles. Only. I ran it at a faster pace and ended up making my personal best for this year. 9:50 minute p/mile. No way I could possibly keep that up for any longer. It’s close to my “normal” time from 2 years ago. They say [...]
No creative juices…

My creative juices today are gone. Gone, gone, gone! Don’t know what happened. I think I must be over-tired and needing to catch up on some Zzzz’s. I came home and started a new scrapbook project. Found out the new box of envelopes…they’re made crooked! Then my circle punch broke. Just…fell apart. The insides and [...]
Notes on trail running…

Early morning wake-up to beat the heat! We had a 9-mile run in our midst and we’re in the middle of this killer heat wave. Like trying to breath through a wet towel is how someone described it. Hmm, yes, accurate. Had one of my scarier moments out on the trail this morning. I saw [...]
Angry Birds

I went out back with the dog yesterday and noticed that a young bird had (apparently) fallen out of its’ nest. It was unable to fly yet so it could only hop around and scream it’s head off as the dog tried to sniff it (she’s curious). Meanwhile, the rest of the bluejay clan was [...]

Alarm set for 3:51am (we went over this in our last post, yes?) Slam the snooze button and roll out of bed at 4:05. On my own this morning but it’s surprisingly not as difficult as I thought it would be to get out the door. This morning was a 4-mile run. I’m starting to [...]
Trail run and a successful yard sale…

Wasn’t sure if I’d finish the trail run this morning – 8 miles – but I kept my pace and pushed through. The weather was beautiful for a run…the humidity has temporarily called in sick apparently! I also saw two deer in the woods which sometimes kinda freaks me out but I guess they are [...]
Notes on early rising…

It’s 3:51 a.m. and my alarm clock is dragging me to the surface with its’ incessant buzzing. Want. To. Resist. To rebel with every fiber of my being. But I set the alarm clock to “loud” for a reason. Why 3:51 and not 4:00 you ask? Because my snooze button gives me 9 additional minutes [...]

I’ve just entered my 6th week of half marathon training. I never thought I’d ever WANT to do this. I never thought I’d even get this far in training to tell you the truth. But what I did want was a challenge. CAN I do this? How will I ever know if I don’t try, [...]
Where Has My Knitting Gone?

There has definitely been no knitting going on this week! Well, except for that one evening I did manage to get a couple inches done on my Basic Cardi. I think I’ll plan on doing some knitting today, Happy 4th! Do you have any special plans for today? Are you going to see fireworks? We [...]
