Running With Dogs

It's my little guy's birthday today. He's four.   He's supposed to be all mellow and laid back and what-not. He's not. He's crazy and energetic and everything a Bernese Mountain Dog is NOT supposed to be. My freak-boy. Being a not-normal-BMD has its benefits. I can take him for runs with me, providing it's …

Luck Of The Irish

I don't normally run races in my town. Not because I don't want to, but because they're rarely available. Every year the color run comes here, and there's a pretty good turn out, but the last two races I registered for here were, shall we say, less than stellar. So I should have known better. …

HUMAN!

For the first time in a month I am feeling human! I woke up this morning and let the dogs out and it was in the upper 50s/lower 60s and my first thought was, "Ohhhh, it would be a good morning to go on a run!" That is the first time in a month (maybe …

The Times, They Are A-Changin’

It has been a ROUGH end to 2018. It was a ROUGH beginning to 2018. It's just been a long, long year! Started off the year with a friend going into the hospital and never fully recovering. He passed a couple of months ago. My husband and I bought the business that he and his …
