Resolution Race

I’m behind in positing my 5K race results. My New Year’s Resolution is to do one 5K per month. We’re now in March and I’m 3/3. On New Year’s Eve, there was the Resolution Run at Crocker Park. I finished 345 out of 384. Overall, I was happy with my time. I think it was…

Will Run For…

Tacos! Today was my 3rd 5K of the year. I had more energy this time so my time was better. The weather was really good. It was overcast and about 65 degrees. There wasn’t any rain while I was racing. The race was in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland. One of Tremont’s claims to fame…

So Proud

In the last few years, I’ve really started to enjoy working in the flower bed in front of my house. I’ve slowly been adding perennials each year to make things easier for me as I get older. There are still annuals in there, but they haven’t grown as big as in the past. Last year,…

Ivory and Peonies

My grandma loved the peonies in her yard. My brother who lives in the house hates them. However, he hasn’t followed through with ripping out the last of them. And he won’t let me transplant them into the yard at my* house. As usual, they were in bloom on Memorial Day, so I cut some.…

Another 5K in the Books

Last weekend was the Cleveland Marathon and associated races. This was the second year I’ve participated in the 5K, and I think I’m going to make it an annual event. Last year I had four goals: Finish Not be the last one across the finish line Finish under an hour I accomplished all three. I…
