Banana Peel Life Lessons

A few weeks ago, on a predawn run, I suddenly slipped on a crack in the pavement in the dark, falling hard, face down onto pavement. I hit my head and shoulder on the ground. For some reason, I wasn’t wearing a headlamp. It was my earliest run in 3 months so my...

Happy Spring!

Our Chinese Adoption Miracle: Gotcha Day

Dearest Cecilia, our dear sweet daughter and dancing princess, Ten years ago today, on Feb. 27, 2005, we “gotcha” in China. We can hardly believe how quickly the time has gone. You’re growing up so quickly, sometimes maybe too quickly. You’ll always be our “little girl”. I’m so proud of the young lady that you […]

Runstreak Day 444: Halfway to 888

Today I ran 6.02 treadmill miles on day 444 of my runstreak of running a mile or more each day that began Nov. 19, 2013. My goal is an 888 day runstreak minimum. If there’s still some gas in the tank, maybe I’ll try to stretch that to 1,000 or more. We’ll see. Half of […]

Outfoxed by Snowfall 50k

What a month January was! 271 miles of running! A new record perhaps. Or slightly less than what I ran in college when I was in marathon training. I logged miles then but didn’t really care about the quantity of miles so much as long as I completed my long runs, it was more about […]

Run to Infinity and Beyond!

So halfway through January, with a broken treadmill, trying to keep running going. Yes, treadmill broke last week. Not a crisis as we are having warmer than usual weather here. Today we’re going to talk about how to keep running once you’ve started. Sometimes this means adding a mile to a run. Or taking a […]

Blazing New Trails

Happy New Year! Now that 2015 has begun, many of us have set new goals and new challenges to achieve. Some set resolutions. I don’t like to call these resolutions as resolutions are frequently forgotten and/or broken. Goals tend to linger like the illumination of a distant torch, calling us forth to find it somehow. […]
