To be honest I’m not a fan of Spring. I love winter with snow to ski and snowshoe on. I like autumn when the air is so crisp. I tolerate the heat of Summer. It’s not that I hate Spring. Spring has many beautiful lovely days, gorgeous colours, and a sense of starting over again. [...]

Nature takes away
In February I ran a race in Hampton Beach, NH. The stretch along the coast has always made me a little sad. I hate when nature meets commercialization. So I felt a little guilty when the week after the race an entire block of the beach drive burnt down during an insane Nor’Easter. Yesterday I [...]

My Poodle the Conehead
For the past week, my poodle has had to wear a cone on his head. This can be quite amusing at times. He has no sense of how much space it takes up and he crashes into objects (especially me) regularly. He was in the front yard sniffing the ground and his cone behaved a [...]

Celebrating Spring on Cannon Mountain
We have had a strange winter here in New Hampshire. We had some great snow in December, then lost most of it in the January thaw and February rains. Even the White mountains had a relatively light snow year. Most transplants are not complaining, but I am. I didn’t move to a Northern State so [...]

A Surprise on the Way Home
I made my last post only a few hours ago while I was riding a stationary bike at the gym. But I wanted to make another post right away. I live on a pretty rural road. Between my next door neighbour and I is a fair bit of road frontage. Our driveways are both at [...]

Running Shoes – A Girl’s Best Friend?
Is there a genetic marker that makes girls love their shoes? Perhaps, financially, I was fortunate enough to be born with giant feet. Because being able to buy cute girly shoes should certainly kill any hope of a budget we would have. Instead, I drive my husband crazy with the purchase of running shoes. But [...]

Belated Post – Winter Carnival Part 1
Last month was my 28th birthday. I had been having a rough time. My knee was bugging me so I couldn’t really run. I was feeling low because of lots of stuff and was sad that I was bringing everyone down around me. So I decided to grab my dog and go to the loj [...]

Belated Post – Cooper’s Obedience Achievements
So my poodle is smart, very smart. And he’s willing to learn too. He’s probably a better student than I ever was. I’m not sure where I left off on my updates about Cooper’s obedience training, but I figured I would give a full update. Cooper has now completed Basic I, Basic II and Canine [...]

Change is coming… hopefully
I’ve been thinking a little about why this blog was neglected for so long. I had so many adventures, opinions, and announcements in the last few months. Looking through my pictures I clearly had planned on writing tons of posts. At the same time, I didn’t feel like the blog had any direction, any specific [...]

St. Patty’s Selection
My husband has an arsenal of running shoes. When I clean the house and put them all in the mudroom, the shoes take up a large portion of a corner of the room. Well on St. Patrick’s day morning I was trying to convince him that he need to wear green. Me: “You should wear [...]
