The Road to Boylston Street When I first started running, I was a young mid-20’s mom of three babies, crippled with postpartum depression.

I LOVE that berries are in season! They are my favorite! So since we have raspberriesContinue reading “Mixed Berry Cobbler”
Finding Joy in the Journey
A few years ago I wrote a song called “Where I’ve Been”.

SaltAir Half Marathon
I had the pleasure of running the Saltair Half Marathon today as a pacer. The race started and ended at Old Saltair. It’s kinda of beautiful building, in a creepy haunted sort of way. href=”https://pianorunnerdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/img_1314-0.png”> </a The course was a flat out and back, one I wouldn’t normally consider to be a fun route, butContinue reading “SaltAir Half Marathon”
