I’ll get to it

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. My basement. I keep waiting for the right time to tackle it. I have some of my family’s stuff down there. I could probably throw everything away and no one would notice. I’ll get to it, someday

Trailblazers

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. True to my running name, what first came to mind are the women runners. The first official and unofficial runners. Katherine Switzer, Bobbi Gibb, Nina Kuscsik, Joan Benoit Samuelson. They forced their way into the Boston Marathon and other marathons. They proved that a womanContinue reading “Trailblazers”

80s kids

What TV shows did you watch as a kid? I watched a lot of shows with kids in it, makes sense. (I know that shows should be in quotes but I’m lazy today so forgive me) Diff’rent Strokes (why was it spelled like that?) was a favorite and I had a crush on Gary Coleman.Continue reading “80s kids”

Obsessed

What is a word you feel that too many people use? Ugh. I hear it from influencers and reality stars, and I don’t really follow any of them. It’s a fake word to me. You are not “obsessed” with a makeup brand, drink or clothing line. You like it, you enjoy it, it works wellContinue reading “Obsessed”

Peaceful Easy Feeling

What brings you peace? The beach. Walking along the beach; listening to the waves and seeing the sun rise or set. I was recently on vacation at the beach, there is so much peace being in the sand and smelling the ocean air. We sat on the beach one evening having wine and dinner. TheContinue reading “Peaceful Easy Feeling”

Yes indeed I’m walking

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? Although I have runner in my name I think of walking as my strategy for health and wellbeing. I love running and it makes me feel good but walking is my go-to when I need to “air out”. I walk or run every morningContinue reading “Yes indeed I’m walking”

When I’m 64

What are you most excited about for the future? Retirement and spending time doing what I want. It’ll be a while, hopefully I can get to part time work at some point. I want to have free time to work around the house, volunteer and travel. I’m lucky to at least work hybrid so I’mContinue reading “When I’m 64”

Menswear

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? So I’m going comfortable. A few years ago I was in a local play, playing a female carpenter. I went to the thrift store and found a pair of men’s cargo pants. I was shocked they fit as IContinue reading “Menswear”

When the moon hits your eye..

What countries do you want to visit? I have been lucky to have visited a few countries but on my bucket list is Italy. I have heard how beautiful it is and the food is amazing. I love that everyone walks everywhere, and comfy shoes are mandatory on the old cobblestones. I hope to getContinue reading “When the moon hits your eye..”

Running

What are you passionate about? As evidenced by my name. I could talk endlessly about running. Races I have done, goals I have, gels, shoes, whatever. I’m comfortable talking about running and love when I meet people who run. I have had people tell me that they are training for a 5k and say thatContinue reading “Running”
