Yesterday's run a mixed bag. Tight hamstrings and hips, never hit my stride. Loved running in the gentle rain. No one else was out. Anybody else like running in mucky weather?

Easy 7 miles today. This week, I've run just over 20 miles, which is something I've never done before. Pretty happy about that! Spring is bustin' out! Made some noise yesterday at a Hands Off rally. Running to stay sane and strong in the dark times we're facing here in the United States. Hold fast!

Nice 4 miles today. Spring in North Carolina is as beautiful as ever. Working on form and running with ease while maintaining my pace. I'm bad to get inside my head sometimes...group run tomorrow on a new trail!

Ran Friday and Saturday. The woods here are waking up and the red buds remain so lovely. Cricket was hoping for a bite of breakfast this morning.

Sweet 4.5 miles of single-track this evening. Barred owl was calling through the trees. Carolina wren was fussing. I was cruisin'...

It's a great day to protest the Trump/Musk plan to gut our public services. Hold fast!

Hey, y'all! Want to share my excitement that I have found a trail running group! Sadly, none of my peeps are runners, so I'm always solo running. It's a friendly crowd, and all paces are welcome. Psyched to run with them again on Wednesday evening!

Beautiful 7 miles by the lake. Red bud trees are blooming. Hope everyone is having a good day.

4 miles of zone 2. Overcast , low 60s. Great way to close out a Saturday. This rock reminded me of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, a book I read every year to my first graders. I always ask them what they would wish for, and I love their whimsy and altruism: to be a mermaid, to feed everyone.

I love running because it clears my mind, keeps my body strong, and teaches me that I can keep going: all things I need to persevere in resisting the Trump/Musk/MAGA Republican debacle. Hold fast!

Spring break...spent the entire morning finishing up my first graders' report cards and grabbed a nap. Now a lovely late afternoon run by the lake. A couple of nice hills. Didn't intend to do any speed work, but Naughty by Nature popped into my playlist, and I was done for...lol

Home in the mountains for a few days. Ran 1 mile to the bottom of the hill and back up. Took almost twice as long to run back up. Steep but a good challenge. Also the dogs...

Meant to run 4 miles, but I felt frisky and did 5. Beautiful and breezy. Birds are super-active. Red-winged blackbirds trilling and flashing their wings. Also, first run with toe socks. Always late to the party...

Three miles by the lake. Frogs are peeping, and temps are mid-50s (perfect!). Grateful for each and every day, y'all...💜

Sweet little 4 miles on a mix of trails and pavement. Soundtrack: The Clash, The Cure, and the Sex Pistols. And I made a pecan pie. Trying to stay energized to cope with the Trump admin craziness. Let's go!!!

Disgusted by Trump's treatment of Zelensky. So shameful and such an act of betrayal to our longtime European allies. I'm gobsmacked but not reeling. Staying grateful for each and every day. Let's go!!!

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.

I love running in the early evening, especially in winter. There's a beautiful loneliness about the landscape.

Psyched to get back on the trail today for an easy run. Never took rest days seriously before cuz I was scared of losing fitness. Mind clear and body rested. Staying committed to discipline and patience.
