January in Five Pictures 1.  It snowed.  Not a lot at any one time, but often enough to mess with the streets and delay or close schools.  I had a very blonde moment when I couldn't figure out how to put my Honda Pilot into 4WD.  Turns out it does it on its own... 2. I ran a lot of miles on the treadmill.  In fact, this was my highest number of miles on the … [Read more...]

(Yes, I realize it wasn't that long ago when I stated I wasn't bada$$ enough to run outside in the cold weather. Sometimes you just have to.) According to the company: The Yaktrax Run is an ice traction device anatomically designed for use with running shoes. … [Read more...]

Running late on my runfessions

Running late on my runfessions

That seems to be the story of my life lately. I’m desperately trying to catch up on everything that fell through the cracks this fall. In the last week, I’ve had a mammogram and a skin check (both came out fine), as well as figured out our health insurance for 2020 and sent in all […]
