My Husband is a Koala Bear.
Not just because he’s cute and hug-able. Did you know Koala bears sleep 18-22 hours a day? Since his accident, Paul has taken naps. Lots of naps. He’s trying to do more and more things, but for every effort, he has … Continue reading

Sometimes I feel like a nut; sometimes…
I still feel like a nut. Most of all I feel thankful. Yesterday I saw my doctor for the final evaluation to discuss test results. (This post is a follow up to I never said I was Popeye.) In a nutshell … Continue reading

How To Gain 9.4 Pounds in 13 Days. Really.
Let’s get right to it: 1. Go on vacation to somewhere like… sunny, carefree Florida. 2. Pack only drawstring or elastic-waisted baggy shorts. And flip-flops. Loosen up–literally.

When Your Husband Means Well…
A couple of disclaimers: 1. Before the race a couple of day ago, my husband and I had never run together. 2. I am not a natural athlete. He is. When I started running about 6 months ago, he was … Continue reading

Three Triathlons in Eighty-One Days. Now what?
Water still dripped down my neck from the swim as the thermometer crawled toward forty. Except for the burn in my thighs as I shifted into high gear, there was no evidence I was connected to my lower extremities. As … Continue reading

Can Couch Potatoes Change?… or Don’t We All Start as Spuds?
It’s official. I registered (and paid) for the triathlon scheduled for July 16. Pretty good for someone who—until very recently—thought triathlon was spelled Tri-ath-A-lon! If you’ve read any of my last three posts or A Running Journal diary, you’ll know I rather dubiously started running via the … Continue reading

Stand Back (Get Out of My Way) or…Who Says There’s Limits?
When I started running a few weeks ago (see Sit.Desk.Write… and Run.), I never aspired to anything more than… running to lose a few pounds. My athletic husband, who’s mouth is still hanging open because I’m actually moving, tentatively suggested … Continue reading

Sit. Desk. Write… and Run.
