This picture (enhanced by Google) is from a trail run last week. It has been frosty overnight, and quite beautiful. There isn’t much other running news to report, but we’re thinking of going on a New Year’s Even run, right around midnight, at the end of the year. I think this would be a beautiful…
Inspired by my friend Jessica’s post on Words from the Wild about a photograph she took, I thought I would do a similar post in my running blog. Jessica is a moderator in our Google+ group, Ecology in Literature and the Arts, and I admire her vast experience and travels, which inspire her nature writing….
Sometimes it’s easy to turn to social media for being social, and I have realized lately how much time it takes. How unreal it feels. I use it for my business and to create awareness about climate change and other environmental problems, but I have a hard time getting into any kind of online social…
I’m the crazy chick you’ll see running in a downpour as if it were chill and sunny. That was me today, as I decided that over lunch I’d run up to the pharmacy and back, which is about 5.2K all around. I was smart to wear the one long-sleeved wool running shirt that I borrowed…
Lots of people are taking not only to the streets but to the deserts and through snowstorms to get to, or march in, rallies around the globe–calling for climate action–coinciding with the climate talks in Paris, which begin November 30.

Unlike the summer, and even into the recent fall warm days, this has been a year of much heat and drought. But autumn is here, for sure. Sugary snow has frosted nearby mountains due to recent heavy precipitation. Today, a short 2-mile run, was sunny, very cold, and just beautiful. Living and running in the…
I am back to running twice a week now with the goal of a big hike or bike ride on the weekend, and have added 2-3 days of gym on top of that while I build up my back muscles and core. When I run, it takes about 10 minutes to get warmed up….
If you read this blog, you would likely guess that after a summer full of heat, drought, and then a windstorm, I couldn’t wait for autumn running. It has arrived! I saw many geese yesterday flying southward–a beautiful sight–and I said to my husband, “Maybe it’s about to get colder.” Well, it has been very…
As you may have noticed, I have moved this blog to its own space so that I can give it a style and face that is different from the Eco-fiction site, while still being on that network. The last time I wrote, I was seriously doubting my ability to run more. I was diagnosed with…
