Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I fell off the wagon a bit on my initial racing plan for 2014 - we only did 2 of the 4 Foxy Racing Trail runs. I did have fun doing that new 10k event right in my backyard in September, but I've otherwise been only fitting in runs to keep from becoming a full... Continue Reading →
(I don't care what I've been told) Some damn snakes are really bold (Some damn snakes are really bold) Keep your eyes trained on the ground (Keep your eyes trained on the ground) Because they do not make a sound (Because they do not make a sound) SOUND OFF One, Two SOUND OFF Three, Four...

We interrupt this writing hiatus* to post the races that I've settled on for this year. The first one is coming up in a few weeks and was on my radar last year because it's totally local, largely flat and involves tons of music: I've been back out on the trails on Sundays the last...

Not much time to write - too tired - at the rugby game yesterday a friend gave me her Charger season tickets to use for the game today. Even though I knew it would be pushing the limits of my energy levels, I took them because - hey - Club level! Four tickets! The Giants... Continue Reading →
Friday night: after a week that was not necessarily as frazzling as last week, but included the extra special ingredient that was a Mon-Fri off and on (mostly on) hormonal series of head/shoulder/neck/sinus aches so...yeah...it sort of didn't matter that I only had one football meeting to go to (which was actually quite good and...

I didn't join the usual group on a long trail run today. The IT band on my left knee has been barking way too much, and since I don't have any specific goals to run a long distance anytime soon, I thought it best to just start taking it easy with shorter (4.5 miles) less... Continue Reading →
As I reported a couple of weeks ago, I think aliens have invaded 16's brain. Either that, or maybe there was a threshold of maturity crossed recently that appears to be sticking around. I'm crossing fingers for the latter, but not ruling out the former just yet. He took the ACT test this weekend. And... Continue Reading →
The only picture I took today during the run on the San Dieguito River trail. The depth perception is off, but the lighter rock up top is from a separate peak more in the distance. The sky really was that blue! I love the rock formations on this trail (same one as last week) - we... Continue Reading →
Happy St Patrick's Day! Aren't those awesome socks? Pro Compression and yes, I wore them for the run today. Had to, right? A two hour "easy" run was the plan. We thought we would do some exploring. We've been eyeing the Santa Fe Valley trail which is the west end of the Lake Hodges Trail... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty sure I did that on Thursday and again today. Today I had 8 things on my To DO list - some fun, some chores, some money making blog work. I did 5 so that's not too bad when you consider I also spent time with the boyfriend. Anyway - my whole money saving... Continue Reading →
