Global Running Day 2019

Got up before work to make sure that I got a run in on this Global Running Day. The girls will be at my house tonight to bake a cake, so I feel fairly confident that if I didn't do my run this morning that it wouldn't get done. I haven't missed a run on …

Something New

I took a nice ride on the Katy Trail last night. I do this fairly regularly - at least once a week. It's good for my soul. I have a stopping point that sits right on the bank of the Missouri River and I normally spend about five minutes just sitting on the bench listening …

Dreaming Of The Day

I've been so cold lately. So Freaking Cold! The weather is stupid. It's stupid COLD! I've been trapped indoors for all my workouts for what feels like an eternity. My mood is SUFFERING from having to do all my runs and bike rides inside! Running and biking were meant to be done outside. In nature. …
