Read this Post: Random Thoughts Thursday 75• How is it Thursday already? This week is going by fast! I’ve been busy with working with other committee members to plan next year’s reading and social studies curriculum. It isn’t fun because it is a lot of work.

Tuesday Topics: Celebrating Global Running Day
Read this Post: Tuesday Topics: Celebrating Global Running DayI will confess that I’ve never done anything “special” to celebrate Global Running Day. Last year I was in a professional development class and signed up for two RnR races (which I ended up not going to). And honestly I don’t remember what I did in previous years. I might have gone running but don’t…

Read this Post: Weekly Run Down: One more week of school and running at the lakefrontLast day of school is this Friday! I spent this week packing up more things in boxes and lockers.

Tuesday Topics: I am a solo runner
Read this Post: Tuesday Topics: I am a solo runnerYes, I am a solo runner and I am OK with it. When I first started running back in 2005, running wasn’t a “thing”. At least to me it wasn’t. I didn’t know many people that ran nor were any of my friends runners. Over the years I met more people that ran and now…
