Not a Gift Guide 2017
| December 24, 2017 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Merry Christmas! As has become my tradition I’m going to share with you the things I bought this year that I really enjoyed. Trailer Jack Stand I bought this as an impulse buy when getting tire covers for my brand new trailer tires. This stupid looking plastic cone that my trailer jack rests on when […] more
Time off – it does the body good
| December 15, 2017 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I haven’t been very good about writing here, mostly because I’m uninspired, tired, and not doing any riding or running which doesn’t lead to much of that third (w)R. Instead of waiting until life is full steam ahead again and the inevitable stories that come with it, I’m going to break the silence by writing […] more
Universe vs. Mel part 2
| December 9, 2017 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Thursday was once again a scheduled Mel Holiday. Bearing in mind the tragedy of my last scheduled holiday, I wasn’t that surprised to see some sort of something parked in front of my trailer.

Pyramid of Running
| November 23, 2017 | Posted by Melinda under Ultra Running |
For the last couple of weeks I haven’t been able to get the image of a running pyramid out of my head. I finally sat down and drew it out. It wasn’t a surprise that sleep is the foundation of the pyramid. For me, nothing happens without enough sleep. It’s also the reason I have […] more
Why I didn’t run this week…
| November 19, 2017 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
…and I won’t be running next week either. And probably not the week after either. Sunday mornings from whatever time I drag myself out of bed until noon are MINE. Enough time to hit the trails for a long run, a trailering out adventure, a group run, or maybe even a local race that is […] more
