A Week In Boston Part II
Now that you’ve gotten through Part I, let’s finish it off with Part II. Even though Marathon Monday was so dreadful, we were still up and at ’em in the morning Tuesday, to be sure we were packed up and ready to go in the afternoon. We arranged our bike tour to be changed from…
Catching Up || Recap: Week 11 + 12 2018
After my so called “hard reset” I still had some work to do. Training Week 11 was supposed to have minimum three runs, but once again I had only two. Monday night with Vincent’s Group was again intervals and technique but we mostly ran easy due to the Stevensloop Half Marathon that most of us…
Catching up || Recap: Week 6 – 10 2018
Let’s see if I can’t just give a brief overview of what else has been happening: Training: It’s not going that well, I have to say. When we were in Poland – week 6 – we did run quite a bit, including participating in a local park run in Lodz, but I didn’t manage…
A Hard Reset
Right. Just as I was back from Poland and putting together a lovely recap of our trip, my mother-in-law became ill again. Only this time, she didn’t get better. We’ve gone through this before, but each time she got better, she found the will to go on just a little longer. But this time… …
Week 3-18 Wait, what was my word this year?
Oh yeah. Focus. It was a weird week. But I think a lot has to do with still being away and traveling back at the beginning of the week. Monday – we were still in Naples, but had to be at the airport around 12:45 so it was breakfast, pack, check out and…

2017 – The Expected Unexpected
Can you guys just believe it? this year is OVER. And what a year it was! In a nutshell: Music: It was a throwback kind of year as far as concerts goes. We used to go to gigs all the time! In fact we used to travel to see bands. Now we travel to run. …
(The Recent)Past, Present and (Not so distant) Future
`OK. So, yeah. That blogging thing. Kind of sad really. But, you know, life. In October, we went to Chicago. What can I say? It was fabulous! I ran the Chicago marathon international 5K – and YAY before the race I got to meet KIM!! But the star of the show was obviously my…
Week 35: The Road to Another New Year
You guys. I’m officially on the road to 50 now. I now have an idea what people mean when they say “mid-life crisis”. Not that I’m in crisis mode. But I’m thinking more deeply about things and wanting to change things in my life that I have joy rather than obligation, guilt, sadness. So, no new red…
August Round-Up
Right. Instead of trying to catch up on everything I’m just going to round up the month: The Good: Dublin Rock’n’Roll Weekend with Babette was fabulous! Not only did we have a great time, we met several runners there and spent time hanging out, eating, drinking, laughing and having fun. I’ll do a post with…
