When Things Don’t Click
Sami woman on skis, adapted from Olaus Magnus, 1883 (an excellent skiing goddess I found on Wikipedia). When Things Don’t Click Having reduced my cold to a pesky cough, I returned to Sewall woods a few days ago. We’d gotten … Continue reading
Ripples It’s a new year, and as I look back at the first eleven entries of my blog, it occurs to me that each post has rippled wonderfully into new adventures, side conversations, and tidbits of knowledge that have been … Continue reading

Remembering to Play
Repeat Race Tomorrow morning I’ll return to the scene of my first running race ever, Portland’s Annual Thanksgiving Day 4-Miler. My goal is to beat my first race time by a substantial margin. With ongoing hip pain, I may not … Continue reading
Toe Damage
Running Buddies This afternoon, I had a wonderful run through Brooklyn—from the Heights through Red Hook and back. I ran with my cousin, Katie, who’s recently picked up running after an extended hiatus. Dodging downed trees, cars, and pedestrians brought … Continue reading
