The fractured toe thing has been driving me crazy, in so far as even though I can wobble around and have even gotten my Google fit walks on some days, no running is giving me sort of an edgy, cooped-up feeling. I have been on the stationary bike a few times, but it’s not the…
Well, I looked forward all year to the Great Climate Race 10K (which was this morning), but my toe is fractured and I cannot run until it heals. It seems to get better for a bit until I start running again, and then it gets worse because I’m not letting it heal the right way….
I had a nice run this morning. It feels great to get back in the swing of things–after my toe sprain, after my weird throat issues, and after our storms (which turned out to be heavy in some places but not where we live). I did a short run on Tuesday and then today decided…
I’m still asking this question well into my adulthood. I have wrestled with the idea of going back to school to work on a Masters, and maybe even a Ph.D. Yet other times, I think what I really want to do is to get away from the city…the whole: “I will arise and go now,…
This afternoon I volunteered with the Streamkeepers to go notch a couple beaver dams that were completely blocking fish. It was the first time I’d been in the creek–quite literally in it, in waist-high waders. I was amazed at the time it takes to cover a small area of this watershed. The trail leading in…
I don’t have a lot of time to write at the moment–just wanted to get some quick thoughts down on paper. The more I read about ecological weird fiction, the more I want to read it, and now I want to work on a feature of it at the main site. My toe is feeling…
After my run on Tuesday, I showered and headed back to campus. I noticed my right big toe was very achy. I stubbed it recently, and before that bumped it into a rock (when I fell down that hill). I could barely walk on it for the rest of the day, and it hurt pretty…
Photos taken and copyrighted by Morgan and Mary Woodbury In late August of 2014, my husband and I, and our moms, went to Bella Coola, BC–the gateway to the Great Bear Rainforest. I’m currently editing a PDF of my studies of the rainforest. I had completed a series of articles about the forest, but need…
This morning I awoke to a cacophonous rain outside, wiping away our recent sun and flattening the leaves and pine needles onto the wood of the back deck. I stared at the rain dropping and making tiny puddles and then other drops splashing into those puddles. I felt longing, knowing I had to get out…
We have been having the best weather lately. Cool mornings and nights, hot afternoons, sunny and cloudless skies, and gentle breezes promise autumn. Yesterday was another such day, and I volunteered with the Streamkeepers group at the Riverview Tree Festival. The Maple Creek Streamkeepers are one of the partners of Treefest and are in the…
