Seriously, the warm thought machine felt a little stuck. Yesterday, I ran with the Learn to Run clinic participants, or those hardy souls willing to come out during -26 with windchill. It felt colder than that, and I wore pretty good layers. The edges of my hair turned frosty, and my glasses fogged up a few … Continue reading Yes, I Ran. Yes, It Was Cold.

It’s Snowing on My Blog
My blog is snowing. I don't know how I feel about it. I tried to remember if I had it last year, or not. I tinkered with the layout of my blog so much, I can't keep track of things like snow, much less write something. Over my lunch hour I took my journal and … Continue reading It’s Snowing on My Blog
In Pain Yet Happy
The 'pain' alluded in my topic line involves one sore back. I threw it out by simply getting off the chair. I occasionally have these back spasms, the kind reducing me to the mobility of a 90 year-old woman. After gingerly getting dressed, I went to my local Superstore to get something for the pain. … Continue reading In Pain Yet Happy
Drifting Off to La-La Land
When the oral surgeon's office ran down the list of thing I needed to know, having someone with me for twelve hours AFTER the implant surgery left me confused. My mom agreed to spend the night just in case, and I did the usual fast to get ready. I got in, signed my consent form, … Continue reading Drifting Off to La-La Land
Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
Since the last episode of As The Broken Bicuspid Turns, I had a temporary filling put in to await my September 14th surgery. It's a simple plan, really, to wait to get the tooth out then put in the implant. As fast as someone can say 'Bob's Your Uncle' I get a new tooth screwed … Continue reading Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
Last week I returned from my running clinic with a bounce in my step. I put my key into the door and had an epiphany: My sense of fun started to come back. I met a lot of people fixated on speed. One got on my case for running the same pace all the time. … Continue reading The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
I have a busted bicuspid tooth needing to come out. While my Midweek Geekiness feature went live, I took my throbbing, aching tooth to a new dentist. To make a long story short: I fired my last dentist. The new dentist requires new patients fill out a two-page questionnaire to make their visit as comfortable as possible. Dentists … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
Sweating to the Tune of Om
Hot yoga. To some it's a trend practised by puffed-up hipsters. To others, like me, it's a return to yoga with a twist. Way back in the day, alright the early 2000's, I made a beeline to a yoga studio close to my work place. It did mostly Hatha yoga, the perfect kind of yoga … Continue reading Sweating to the Tune of Om
Who Stole My Head? (or Your Brain Without the Usual Caffeine)
Yesterday I had a list of things to do on Saturday. I watched a few episodes of Justified on Netflix, then changed into some errand wear until I noticed an ache begin at the back of my neck. I noticed it enough to lay down and hoped it would pass. The neck ache then turned … Continue reading Who Stole My Head? (or Your Brain Without the Usual Caffeine)
The Courage to Start (Again)
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." -John Bingham Yesterday was my graduation run. After ten weeks starting what feels like an eternity ago, the For Women Only Clinic at The Running Room embarked on their last run together. (At least those who can make it … Continue reading The Courage to Start (Again)
