Meandering and musing

I love running with friends.  It guarantees I'll  get the miles done.  Sadly, I can't always find a willing partner for my dark o'clock weekly morning runs so I usually head out solo.  Boo hoo, right? Well, don't cry for me Argentina because I've figured out the key to the Universe.  That's right - running …

Happy Birthday To Me!!

Today is my 45th birthday! And while I have some wrinkles I'm not thrilled with, some sun spots from summers  spent with just a spritz  of  SPF 2, and more silver on my head that I'd care to admit, I feel fit, strong and full of energy and excited. A birthday would be useless without …
