🌷Spring Flowers🌷

Spring flowers are almost in full bloom in my gardens around my house.  The azaleas in the front where it's very shady all of the time still have some blooming to do. 


 This is definitely my favorite season in my garden.  Luckily the former owners of my house liked to garden and planted most of what you see here. However this year, to replace a hole left by a dead tree that we removed, I planted about 20 tulip bulbs.  About 14 bloomed!

Ragnar Richmond Recap!

First Ragnar Trail relay is in the books and boy, was it an adventure!  Notice I said, "first"...I had originally thought I was "one and done" with these things (as I am with the full marathon) however, I think I could enjoy another go of one. Definitely a fan of the trail version and not interested in a road Ragnar though (the thought of sleeping in a van horrifies me more than camping!).  I think I need to wait til 2019 (or even 2020 ) though - not ready to train for another in 2018!  Gotta let the paint dry on this one...So, here's a detailed recap of our adventure: Proof that I CAN camp!

Our start time was one of the earlier times on Friday (10am) so we didn't want to be worried about s

I enjoy being fit and am proof of the results so have found it's so fun to share that with others to get them started on their own journey. Singing with the preschoolers is one of the highlights of my week as director ! Never thought I would have a 6 pack!! On a fitness level, I am almost done with my 8 week program of LIIFT4 and at the end of week 7 I am 3 lbs down and have more muscle tone (especially in my upper body!) than ever before!  This makes me down a total of 11lbs since the beginning of summer when I started the 80

New running socks review!

Today I tested out abother pair of procompresion socks.  I have always worn Feetures and still will but these will be my new go-to pair...luckily they came in a two pack!  They are seamless and so soft and have special areas that are more cushioned (right where I normally get blisters). I am excited to try them out on a longer run!
