I think Magic Yogess and I took our relationship to the next level last night. I'm not good with the baseball terms despite all of the games my Re Re spent trying to teach me, but I think one of us may have gotten to second base yesterday. When I felt that magical yoga goddess, … Continue reading Guess Who’s Back
My Pride Ran Out
It's 4pm on a Friday. I'm in my jammies. Just brewed a fresh pot of coffee. Got my new library book waiting patiently beside me. Running Partner and I had a plan. I don't remember exactly when this plan was established. I think it was sometime last weekend after I managed back to back days … Continue reading My Pride Ran Out
Fully Clothed and Fairly Comfortable
Got this message last night. Seemed odd. She said she found me in an outdoor group on the social medias. And I guess something about my demeanor suggested that I have "outdoor survival skills..." I think maybe it's the number of trees I'm in pictures with. And that I haven't died of a bear attack … Continue reading Fully Clothed and Fairly Comfortable
You’re Not Gonna Wanna Miss Martinsville
Got this in an email last night. GJB got it, too. But it wasn't directed at him. It was applause specifically for me. Because I'm winning the pre-Sunshine/GJB Lifetime Championship race. Or as others call it, the Martinsville Half Marathon. GJB has been pretty quiet about this lately. I mean, I've tried to make it … Continue reading You’re Not Gonna Wanna Miss Martinsville
Pride Makes You Do Stupid Things
Pride and relentless friends just don't mix. Or maybe they mix a little too well. Or maybe I just wanted to make extra special sure that Regina was fully back in her place for a while. But Running Partner offered to go with me, so I went back out on that damn mountain again today. … Continue reading Pride Makes You Do Stupid Things
Me and Regina on the Mountain
It has been an ugly week. I mean hideous. I can't really explain it beyond life is hard and my emotions were in full shut down mode. They just didn't have time for me. I'm gonna go ahead and blame hormones. And single parenting. And the government. And what the hell, let's go ahead and … Continue reading Me and Regina on the Mountain
Found My Limit On A Mountain
Sometimes I go to dinner with my badass fitness chicks to celebrate finishing another monthly fitness challenge. And always someone mentions some random run or other physical challenge we should do. And because of who I am and because I'm already feeling all badass and because Rogue is always sitting there with her piercing blue … Continue reading Found My Limit On A Mountain
WazUP With My Body?
There was a definite moment of panic. And confusion. And trying to remember... Initially, I was like, "Ummm, no...why.....?" But then my dad was pretty insistent that he had seen a new cat in my house. And he's spent a lot of time at my house over the years. And around my cats. He's a … Continue reading WazUP With My Body?
Totally Normal Jealousies
I didn't used to think of myself as a jealous person. Recent events have suggested that I may have a teeny tiny jealous streak in me. Like, just a small, itty bitty, totally emotionally healthy jealous streak. My quick "hmph" at my BFF's post about how much she loves her best friend. Which is not … Continue reading Totally Normal Jealousies
I’m A Struggle
I may have just asked a random stranger if I could try her glasses on. And possibly if I could have her prescription. She responded with, "Bless your heart, honey can you not see very well? Are you ok? Do you need someone to drive you home?" No. No I'm not ok. And also, I … Continue reading I’m A Struggle
