A Mountain Lion and Me

I started training again, marathon training that is.  It was a tough decision.  I was getting used to having more time at home to chill out after ten days skipped.  But I went the other day, and then again today.  Beat the heat and got my butt out there before sun-up. 
And then, second day [...]

Marathon Mom

The Preakness

No, I am definitely NOT starting this by comparing my limping old bod to a thoroughbred horse.  But hey!  So I ran early today – 30 minutes, not too long but my long run of the week.  Drove into the park (Grand Canyon) and ran along the rim.  SO beautiful.  I heard robins and it [...]

Recovery Day #1

I went out to stretch this morning before work. I headed to the Grand Canyon rim and looked out over the horizon. The ravens were soaring overhead, flying and dipping in apparent ecstasy at the sunrise. The early spring wildflowers were in bloom, and the air was clean and crisp. It [...]

Marathon Mom has arrived!

OK, so I decided my little one needs a good mommy role model. Yeah, I would prefer to plop my ass down in front of TV and watch a good rerun of “Eureka” on the SciFi channel, and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, but what message would that really send?  No, [...]
