Today’s #BlogEveryDayInMay prompt: Something difficult about your “lot in life” and how you’re working to overcome it Sigh… I almost decided I didn’t want to do this post. Today I’m feeling somewhat overwhelmed. Not as overwhelmed as yesterday. Last night I took the time to do a hatha yoga practice …
I keep seeing things about how you need to have a 5-year or 10-year plan in terms of your career and I honestly cannot think of what I would want. I’ve been in my current job for 12 years (and 4 months, but who’s counting?) I guess it’s not the …
Recently I read the book Approaching the Natural: A Health Manifesto by Sid Garza-Hillman, the in-house nutritionist at the Mendocino Center for Living Well at the Stanford Inn. I kind of want to take a solo vacation there to decompress. Maybe next year during my hubby’s busy season… when it’s …

I mentioned that I haven’t felt very happy lately. I’ve just been so stressed and overwhelmed by life, happiness has eluded me. That’s the reason why I made the “Laugh More, Stress Less” resolution. I remind myself of this every day. And I know that we can’t wait for happiness …
New Year Resolutions… I usually make some of these, but I also am in the habit of making “resolutions” year-round. I think almost any time can be a time for a fresh start or to set new goals. And my resolutions usually evolve and change throughout the year. Sometimes I …
G.O. H.A.R.D. = Globally Organized Hug a Runner Day A holiday declared by the guys at Run the Edge, Adam Goucher and Tim Catalano. This is the second year this event has been celebrated, but I’m all for it being an ongoing event! Read their post about ways to celebrate …
We all know that to run well you have to put in the training and log miles. Hill repeats, tempo runs, intervals, fartleks, they’re all part of the plan… but is that the whole recipe? Next we add in nutrition, bodywork, stretching, etc. Still we don’t have the full formula. …
