It’s Monday morning and back to the normal route early. Mornings are so great this time of the year and the run just feels so good. Enjoying a good book and the fresh air. Run Happy!

Went back to Green Gulch Trail in Dewey, AZ today for an out and back. The beginning of the trail is rocky and no shade. Close to a mile in and the trail narrows into a more wooded type terrain with lots of shade. The two days in a row and each day I only…

The Green Gulch Trail is near my mom’s house and this is the first time I ventured out to it. Located in Dewey Arizona and off the beaten path I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily there was a lady with her two dogs just coming off the trail as I was setting out. She…

Another attempt to run the trail around Watson Lake in Prescott and the third time was the charm! A beautiful sunset trail run was just what the doctor ordered! The first time we tried this as a casual hike around the lake, took a wrong turn and ended up hiking about 12 miles around Prescott….

I’m listening to The Happiness Advantage (yes still and again) as the lessons and principles have to become practice in order to benefit. Just knowing something isn’t enough. You have to put it into practice. One of the principles, I don’t have them memorized yet so I guess I do need to keep listening, is…
