Groovy Girls Go…….Y Not? Minot! Are you really running in Minot, North Dakota? Texts back a running friend of mine from Detroit. I certainly am, and these hills are certainly no joke. He concurs. The prairie must be what surrounds the city of Minot because I assure you, there are some monster rolling hills […]
The starting line is a pretty amazing place. The view, of different colors, nervous smiles, tapping toes up against the starting line, and just right laces tied just right. The view is made all that much super when the shoes however, are actually mini shoes……the shoes of kids. The kids we love who are trying […]
To no one’s surprise, I was running with a friend and we were both huffing and puffing, yet still telling stories. Stories of all shapes and sizes and after a couple of emotional stories and a few choked back tears it dawned on me…….I like runners. I like runners for their guttiness and for their […]
As my feet took me past places along Cass Avenue that bring me back to my first days in Detroit, I look down just in time to spot a lucky penny, and a woman down on her luck. I pick it up and put it in her gloved hand, telling her it’s her lucky day. […]
…….Melon Ballin’ That Is 😀 I woke up Friday morning to my phone flashing with a message from Coach Stef. My name had been drawn by TimeFrame Photography for a free entry into the Mellon Dash (a local run during a local festival). Obviously I hadn’t planned to run it, didn’t have a babysitter, had […]
There are days, or mornings, that often seem easier for me than others to get out the door. I enjoy starting my week, regardless of weekend mileage, lacing up and getting out the door……for at least something! Monday Motivation I find the Monday morning run as the one that is the most relaxing and simply […]
I’ve never needed a crowd of fans, but I’ll tell you what, when those five horses just stood along the fence line, watching me run, I smiled my biggest smile and waved my biggest wave. Me watching them them watching me, the biggest and bluest sky outstretched behind, it was my own private Montana Moment […]
Another weekend and another long run. I plan out the 16-17 mile route in my head as I fall asleep. I’m leaving from my childhood route in town and I’m carefully trying to construct something that may offer a new view. I drift off to sleep, nothing new having sprung up, but then again, it’ll […]
Missoula Marathon Part Next: Groovy Girls Go…………Inspiration “Mama,” Montana’s questioning voice begins, “why are you crying?” We’re walking back from having just had coffee and visiting with my family and friends after crossing the Missoula Marathon finish line. After crossing the finish line I find myself bending over to catch my breathe, it’s then that […]
Groovy Girls Go………..Up a Missoula, Montana Mountain I looked to my right at the rugged rock that had been blown away to create this road that went up the SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN! I was desperately scanning for the rope that must have been left for me to hoist myself up this……this……this……Mountain! Wait, maybe it […]
