Scrolling through Instagram one day I stumbled across a post about Running is my Therapy by Scott Douglas and was intrigued. I immediately went to Amazon to read more about it. And then pre-ordered it. I struggle with anxiety and mild depression. I have since at least high school, more anxiety than Read more
In April I read the book 80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald. I had heard how great heart rate training is and it seems every runner I know has moved to it. I decided to give it a try and started May 1st. It’s been eye-opening and a challenge but I Read more
St. Patrick’s Day Runs I did three St. Patrick’s Day runs this month. I may be a tad crazy, but you already knew that. On March 11th I did the Lucky Clover 4 miler and this past weekend, the 16th and 17th, I did the Kiss Me I’m Irish Kilt Read more
Coyotes 5k Wrapup Yesterday was the inaugural Coyotes 5K. As a Coyotes fan, I hope this can become an annual thing and grow into something popular, like the Diamondbacks 5K. According to the results, there were 44 runners. I am not surprised as there was very little push or advertising for Read more

165.8. My current weight. I am putting it out there for all to see. I am not where I’d like to be. I gained 25 pounds since my celiac diagnosis. First, I was in denial. It was only 10 pounds. I’ll lose it easily. But it just kept coming. Then Read more
July is coming to an end. How have I done the last few months? Not that great. I have given up on working out. I was being so sporadic I didn’t feel it was worth it. I did better in June than July but I can’t get my head in Read more
June 21st is international yoga day and I’m taking that as a sign. I need to get back on the horse. I used to do yoga after *most* of my runs and all my long runs. I stopped running and therefore I’ve stopped doing it. I probably need more yoga Read more
