Posted on November 16, 2015December 8, 2015 by arunningmess

Prior to Friday, I hadn’t fully settled on the song I was going to select for today’s Music Monday post. But, later that day something happened in Paris (actually many things happened in Paris) and my heart was broken.

getting out of funk-ytown

Posted on November 5, 2015November 5, 2015 by arunningmess

Had I initially wrote and posted this last week, the tone would’ve most likely been a little more subdued. The past couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least. To be completely honest, running has been a struggle, and I’ve had to fight for every inch of every mile.

Initially I had planned to post another piece but I decided to scratch it last minute. Writing these thoughts I’ve had this week and getting them out of my head is very therapeutic to me. It’s one reason I have a blog in the first place. Of course, I also have a journal and I…

Currently, I have a few friends suffering from ailments which are preventing them from running, or enjoying running more. The following song list is for…

Posted on October 7, 2015October 6, 2015 by arunningmess

Last week was a big first for me. I ran on Monday evening. I ran on Friday evening. And I ran late Sunday afternoon/early evening. That quite possibly was the first time I ever did that! In the same week! Wait, let me think….
