The weather is finally warming up and even though we have piles of snow and ice around the driveway, it actually looks a bit like a tunnel as you enter, it feels as though we can go outside again to exercise.  It must be February!  Truly, no one in my running group wanted to venture […]

The snow fell all through the night and I awoke to 17 inches of really fluffy powder on my deck.  It is gorgeous outside, white, cold and lovely.  I look in my backyard and see trees bending to carry the extra weight , bowing lower and lower to the ground to compensate for this extra […]

Runner’s know that they have to keep running especially when their food intake exceeds the amount of calories burned.  So this morning, a bit reluctant, since it’s almost a holiday and because a winter storm advisory was issued, I met up with Lori, Melissa, Teri and Denise and we ran from Granatos parking lot through […]

I’m so grateful for dear friends.  Years ago, when our children were little some couples in our ward would take trips together.  We’d head to Sun Valley for skiing and leave our children and responsibilities behind.  And then we would ski and I mean ski.  This was in the 80s and Nate and Alex were […]

 I live among an amazing group of running women.  We’re all different shapes and body types but we have this one thing in common- we love to run.  And we love to run in each other’s company.  And because of that, we get up early, even when it’s dark and wintery outside, even when the […]

Quote of the Day:  “Thank God– every morning when you get up– that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not.  Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you a hundred virtues which the idle never know.”  Charles Kingsley One thing I’ve […]

Quote of the Day:  “We can accomplish but anything within our ability if we but think we can.”  George Matthew Adams Last Saturday, I ran my second marathon, post cancer treatment and BRCA 1 surgeries.  In a lot of ways, the conditions were optimal.  I had dropped five pounds about two weeks before the race […]

Quote of the Day:  “For we must share, if we would keep, that blessing from above; Ceasing to give, we cease to have; such is the law of love.”  Richard C. Trench As I reflect on this past week, I am reminded how gratefuI I am for good health.  It’s a funny thing, when you […]
