During my training run today I was pondering a few of the things I’ve learned in life – So far… When am I at my best? I thought about it and I came up with when I check off these three squares everyday. Number one, feed my soul; When I wake up I say thank… Continue reading Three Squares

Run Pretty?
Ok, I so got this from Carrie Underwood’s Cry Pretty… In my defense I’ve thought about this topic frequently — Almost every time I run! Let me begin by saying I dress for comfort and function. I own two pairs of dressy shoes one pair for warm weather the other pair for cold. So if you… Continue reading Run Pretty?
Life Odometer @60
Remember when the odometer on a car just flipped instead of flash? If you do then your life odometer is close to mine… I remember my first car when I’d try to recall each major odometer milestone 1000 miles happened on President Avenue Fall River, and so on… Now that my life’s odometer hit 60… Continue reading Life Odometer @60
Sharing The Path…
Sometimes I feel like Rip Van-Winkle and I just woke up and realized how much time has passed! I’ve had two such realizations in the past two days; The first was during a kickboxing workout with my staff – I realized my age 56 was the sum of their ages 33 and 23!

Compromising…
I find the older I get the more compromising I do! Ironically I had this thought as I ran back from my walk/run. (I walk the out and run the back on a two mile out and back.) This got me to thinking on how many other “little” compromises I’ve made lately. A pumpkin latte… Continue reading Compromising…
Questions on Aging?
Okay I admit it I’m 54 years old. Most days I’m okay with that and I take the Popeye philosophy ” I am what I am.” Then there are the damp rainy days when I walk up and down the stairs and can’t tell if it’s the stairs or me creaking. This got me pondering… Continue reading Questions on Aging?
Stalled Out…
I’ve noticed a theme to a lot of the conversations I’ve had with friends, seems delays, or unexpected stoppages or just lack of time, energy or discipline has us “Stalled Out”… I’m thinking we somehow are all sharing the same issues, since we’re pretty much in the same age category known as the”Oreos”sandwiched between raising… Continue reading Stalled Out…
