THE JOY OF A GADGET-FREE RUN (guest post).

by

Look at me! I'm gadget-free! Disclosure: I love me some Shauna Reid. Like we used to do a podcast together love. Like if I had the chance to kidnap someone and could force her to be my sisterwife it would be Shauna love.  Secondary disclosure: I invited her and her co-author, coach Julia Jones, to share thoughts on gadget-free running and to PROMO! PROMO! their new book (which I've read and ... Continue Reading

A #wycwyc book trailer casting call (<---this means you!)

by

my mantra. my anchor. I may have mentioned at some point how Roni Noone and I have a book coming out soon (wink). I may have mentioned (or not? no wink.) how this has been an overnight success fourteen years in the making (yep. that's how long Ive had agents, not sold manuscripts, pitched, created proposal packages, almost sold, not sold etc). I'm sure I never mentioned how one facet of the ... Continue Reading

2015’s word is silence.

by

Last year was all about the truth. talking sharing nudging others to talk stopping the Fakebooking sharing our hards. I talked and talked and talked. *We* split wide open. *We* were candid about our struggles & the unspoken truths of our lives. We rallied to support each other rather than tear each other down (except for a few of us and those few cracked ... Continue Reading

The world is full of nice people.

post-race celebrating with Oakland friends. It's the first day of a new school. Again. Third elementary school by third grade for those of you playing along at home. And the thing is, while it entirely feels like kinder all over again to me, so far the Tornado seems fine. She's more excited than nervous. She still views the world as just filled with friends she's not yet met. She's ... Continue Reading

Maintaining weight loss isn’t sexy.

In this season of resolutions & weight-loss maintenance tips---I return, again, to the lessons learned from our rescue-canine. It may initially seem convoluted but trust me.  We get there.  Even if Coop never did. When last we left Coop he was happily drooling all over his new home. He slid effortlessly into our lives---but not so much into the lives of the neighborhood ... Continue Reading

Before you go out on New Years Eve…

I'm wearing my PARTY SHOES! Stop and consider, again, how you will introduce your friends to each other. Before I go out this New Years Eve I'm pausing and considering precisely how *I* want to be introduced. In the most wonderful of ways, the words we choose to define others impact the way they view themselves.  It doesn't interest me what you do for a living... ... Continue Reading

A gift to me (guest post).

by

Please to enjoy Jennifer's post-response to my musings on gifting myself a DO NOTHING holiday season. A couple of weeks ago I walked into an electronics store and a friendly salesperson came right over to me. “Can I help you?” I stared blankly at him, tempted to walk away. Poor guy. Let me start in the beginning. I went to the store to get a Garmin GPS watch to use for running, an early ... Continue Reading

It’s time for coffee-maker eggs.

by

LOOK! Packing happened! I move tomorrow.  Pots, pans, dishes---everything kitchen is packed.  This necessitates returning to my TRAVEL APPROACH for procuring protein. For hard boiling eggs.  A tip which may also work for those you not moving but *traveling* this holiday season. I love to travel. Given my focus on active play it's pretty easy for me to maintain my fitness on the ... Continue Reading
