I try to be a runner. It's not easy for me like it seems for some of the runners I read about. I have to work hard to keep focused. I decided to run a marathon to ring in 40 years this November.

I couldn't stop watching her 🙂 She only ran the first mile with us but it went by very fast … Continue reading Running for the dogs →

First long run of my year!

Yesterday I ran 6 miles.  I didn't plan to.  I've been trying to focus on lifting weights and only running my easy 2-3 miles a few days a week.  Last week Saturday I increased to 4 miles and I figured I would stay there until I improved my time.  But this weekend, I met with … Continue reading First long run of my year! →
