When last I wrote, I had serious doubts about being able to walk 1900 miles in 2017. But that was still my goal. And then, February hit. On February 8, Scott took me to the ER due to serious coughing… to the point I could not get any air in my lungs. I was admittedContinue reading “Times They Are A-Changin’”

A Novel in 850 Words
PROLOGUE “Of course!” Joe’s eyes gleamed mischievously as he snapped the shears in his right hand together gleefully. “It happens to just about everyone. Eventually.” He took pity on me then, as with a final snap of the shears he said more quietly “But you have time, a few years at least.” CHAPTER 1 IContinue reading “A Novel in 850 Words”
Walking? Again?! Please, bear with me!
Well, let me begin this blog post by saying if you don’t want to read this I totally understand. It IS a bit boring, and I’m sure everyone is just about so done hearing about my walking. But, if you can bring yourself to it, I do hope you finish this blog. I suspect thisContinue reading “Walking? Again?! Please, bear with me!”
First Down and Goals to Go
Well, it’s official. At approximately 4:15 am on December 21, 2015, I passed the 1700 mile mark for miles walked this year. I hope to now end up around 1730 miles before the year is up. Maybe even further! We’ll see. I’ve already set my 2016 goal at 1,900 miles. I’m already feeling intimidated! And,Continue reading “First Down and Goals to Go”
August 6 2015
Yesterday, I appear to have been “Calendar Challenged”. My title should have read “August 5…”. I’ve been asked by one of you to share my dieting secret. Let me just say, before I do, that if I had paid attention to my big brothers’ advice years ago, I’d have been smart! But I didn’t. TheContinue reading “August 6 2015”
August 4 2015
Somehow, I don’t quite know how, too much time has flown by since last I wrote. There’s not been a lot to write about. I’ve gotten those “I really should write something” feelings, and then… well, I just don’t. My mind just isn’t filled with super profound thoughts! So, what’s happened? Health: I’ve been throughContinue reading “August 4 2015”
Recovered
So, it’s now been over a month since the Bataan. I’m finally all recovered. The blisters have receded and are most now just dead skin that is slowly sloughing off. And I’m ready, and rarin’ to get back on the trails. ‘Ceptin’ the rattlesnakes are out, now, and apparently there are more this year. OhContinue reading “Recovered”
Gone Fishing… not really
We’re two thirds of the way through October, and my training is progressing relatively well. The weekend after my last post, I did two back to back walks. On Friday that week I walked 6.5 miles around the old Mesilla township, dodging morning traffic (not much but enough to need to dodge them!) The nextContinue reading “Gone Fishing… not really”
On the Trail Again
It’s been an active week for me. Last Saturday, Scott and I got up early (actually I got up at my usual time, 5 am – Scott got up early) and we loaded the girls in the car and drove over to La Llorona Park. Last November I wrote about La Llorona Trail, you canContinue reading “On the Trail Again”
A Day in the Life
It stormed last night. I woke up just before midnight in response to a biological imperative, and was treated to a disco dance stage of strobe lights. Imperative resolved, I lay in bed, listen to the thunder and the downpour, watching the flashes of light. It was quite refreshing. This morning, before leaving for work,Continue reading “A Day in the Life”
