Musings on Adaptability

The month of June has arrived and it’s hot. 🥵 We only just turned on the air again last Friday — after running a fan for a few evenings, we realized that the furnace was still set to heat, rather than to cool.

Training and Racing Insights

Despite many of the large May races being canceled or postponed, I was overjoyed to see so many in the running community complete smaller, local races this past weekend. Waking up at 5am yesterday to support our running group was a breeze for this night owl because the prize was seeing many of our runners run their race. (Race day is one of a few special reasons for getting up early with a smile on my face and a very happy heart.)

An Outsized Return

Exercise is one of those activities that gives you an outsized return on your investment. When you spend time exercising, you experience benefits that are not necessarily contained in or confined to the time you are exercising.

K and I took Scooter, our cat, to the vet for a check-up visit last Friday. Scooter never enjoys the experience, but this time he seemed to be more upset than usual.

Are We There Yet?

Are we there yet? Years ago, this was the big question my brother and I would ask my parents as we were driving to Geauga Lake. The amusement park seemed so far away from our home on the west side of Cleveland and the journey so long.

Preparing for Opportunities

The snow is beautiful when it’s falling and still relatively undisturbed, isn’t it? When the light reflects off of the white powder, the world is brighter. If only we could leave the snow as it is when it covers everything…

Manage Your Expectations

What a windy weekend. And the rain, hail, and power outages, too. Wow! We didn’t lose our power; I hope that you didn’t either (or if you did, it has since been restored). Speaking of which, we expected to lose power.

Who Are You?

Can you hear it? (“Who, who? Who, who?”) It’s been years since I’ve seen a CSI episode, but I can hear the theme song in my mind right now (and will probably be humming the tune all day). So, who are you?

Have you ever had a day when you just didn’t feel like exercising? Maybe it was too cold or you were too tired, or you had a lot on your list and didn’t want to stop and switch gears to work out…

Changing Seasons, Changing Routines

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 1 comments tags: adaptability, change, seasonal routines, well-being
Wow — September begins tomorrow, and the autumn weather that is sure to be coming will be here in a blink. I love this time of year for many reasons. As a runner, the shift from hot and sticky to cooler temperatures generally makes for faster running times with less effort. As a coach, races at this time of year typically provide an opportunity to celebrate the hard work done throughout the summer training season and create a natural transition into the slower winter training season.
