Today I chose to eat a turkey sandwich instead of the donut I wanted. My dog Sadie, a 13 year old Weimaraner, watched every bite with great intensity. She loves food. She usually just gets one bowl of kibble a day, but every once in a while, if she’s lucky, or does a certain series [...]
I am not on a diet. This is not a diet blog. I’m not anti-diet when a diet is based on real food and balanced nutrition, they’ve worked for me in the past. But, if you spend a little time reading my stories here on this blog, you should learn that I’m not a woe-is-me-I-wish-I-was-thinner [...]
“I’m going to teach you how to run without using your legs,” said Keith McConnell at this week’s Sunday morning Chi Running Workshop at the Eugene Running Compnay. “You’ll just use your legs for balance, your body to move, and gravity for the rest.” Huh, I said to myself.

I’m running the Eugene Half Marathon in May. So I say. At the moment. So I’d better get in shape, eh? My friend Robin, over at the IronMom blog is helping me train for it. We made a video today of the first “core” training session. Robin’s all about the full body workout stuff. She [...]

We had a baby today! And a dog! Welcome to the club, Rebekah and Ruby. We did the three mile loop today for our Thursday Noon Run in Eugene, and ended up running for at least two miles, by our calculations (which-Robin-calculated-on-her-super-fancy-running watch-I-should-get-one) which made Rebekah and I quite happy, since we’re both starting from [...]
Happy New Year! It’s 1-1-11, which seems lucky, so I think we should talk lucky running. I’ve had a tough couple of months dealing with health problems, which put a real damper on my running career. If you’re a regular reader, you may recall my ongoing love/hate relationship with running. In fact, there was a [...]
