Another week of training for the Paris marathon complete. Still struggling with the loss of Matilda; if you missed my tribute to my best good girl, here it is.

There were some crisp mornings this week Continue Reading

The love of my life. On Monday January 6, 2025, I said goodbye to my sweet Matilda Sloan Benson. We were so lucky to have her for 15.5 years- nearly the length of Dustin and my marriage.

I'm back! Have you missed me? I went on a bit of a blogging hiatus after the Cape Town marathon; I did share a recap of our wonderful trip to Cape Town South Africa (catch up HERE!) but then I took a bit of a break...
