I'm linking up today with Kim and Zenaida for their Tuesday Topics: Why I'm Grateful for Running This Year! 2020 has been quite a year, hasn't it? And it's not even over yet! I know I've been pretty lucky overall, I completely acknowledge that. But that doesn't mean that there haven't been some lows throughout the year of 2020: the death of my grandfather from Covid was a significant Continue Reading

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great week. If you missed it, I shared some of my favorite running brands on Tuesday as part of Kim and Zenaida's link-up. Catch up HERE. I wouldn't say it was a great week in Minnesota; we're essentially back to where we were in March with sheltering-in-place; restaurants, schools, and gyms are closed.

Wow. What a week, right? It felt really long...But it ended on a high note, so it was all worth it! Here's how things went in fitness this week! Monday: I was up early to prepare to teach an interval running class for my "day" job. We're doing a fitness philanthropy initiative, and I was asked to lead a running interval class over Zoom. It needed to work for all levels of runners/walkers, as Continue Reading

After last week's blizzard, this week ended much much milder! It started out cold; in fact on Tuesday's run, it was cold enough to kill my iPhone! But then Halloween was one of the warmest in Minneapolis in quite some time. But enough on the weather, ha! It was a solid week of running, including an actual in-person 10k- woohoo! Here's my recap: Monday: 7 miles on the treadmill, 9:05 Continue Reading

I 'runfess' that I used to blog multiple times a week, and now I barely get out a weekly recap each Sunday! But I'm still really grateful for my little space here on the internet. Someday, marathons and (safe) travel will be back and I'll complete my 50-state and 7- continent quest and have a bit more to write about. But surprise, surprise! Today, I am sharing a second post in one Continue Reading
