Didn’t get up early and took my time this morning. Started off slow, not unusual, and then just said to myself to let my legs go however fast or slow they want to go today. Nothing special, just listening to The Happiness Advantage and learning lessons as I go. Run happy!

RSD #1,563 and #1,564 Too many happy hours
Two happy hours two days in a row has me feeling it today! Temps in the mid 70’s the last two days have made a huge difference. The sun is coming up a little later and the change is weather is coming. Enjoying the morning run so much. Run happy!
RSD #1,561 and #1,562 Getting out of a funk
I’ve been stuck in a mental cave of negativity and spending way too much energy on something that is now outside of my control. I was dwelling on it the other day while driving and I asked myself, “If I wasn’t thinking about this, what would I be focusing on?” The answer didn’t come to…
RSD #1,558, #1,559, #1560, & #1,561
Whooooweee! Guess my days are running together and I am slacking!! Who knew writing every day would be more difficult then running every day? The reason I started the blog was to get more in touch with my creative side and to learn to write more. So, with that in mind my intention is to…
RSD #1,556 & #1,557 Days going by
Thinking about Eliza Fletcher when out on my morning runs and am more aware of my surroundings than ever. It is truly blessed to feel safe in my surroundings and pray that no more female athletes suffer the same fate as Eliza. I love living in a trusting, beautiful world. Run happy.
RSD #1,555 Are You Thinking About a Restart?
When I started running again in my mid 40’s it was a complete shock to both my body and my mind/ego. It is SO much harder to get back into shape as we age. The starting over is painful and humbling. Day by day it got better and the first few days and weeks were…
RSD #1,554 A sad day in the running community
Today the headlines were filled with the horrifying news of a young woman in Tennessee who was kidnapped while jogging and murdered. Eliza Fletcher went out for a jog on Friday morning and didn’t return home. Her body was found today. She was a wife, mother of two, and kindergarten teacher. Her picture is one…
RSD #1,552 & #1,553 Labor Day weekend
Nice having the three day weekend to have the extra day to relax and catch a breath. Running up in the high country in cooler weather was a treat despite the altitude and hills! Back to the heat today with a run in the mid 80’s. Not many people out which surprised me. Still listening…
RSD #1,551 Pinetop for the weekend
So nice to run among the pines and the lower temperature. Slept in and it was still only 70 degrees when I went for my run at 9:00am. Took my time tunning a loop around a golf course. So beautiful and ended up just short of 4 miles with a 9:34 min/mile pace. I feel…
RSD #1,550 Friday
I made the mistake of drinking a Diet Coke to stay awake during an evening meeting which helped since the meeting didn’t end until after 10:00pm. The problem was that I tossed and turned until after 2:00am. The late night meant a late run with the temp at 88 degrees at 7:00am. Same route as…
