I have never been a particularly speedy runner. I can manage splits in the low 7:00 minute range on the flats, but not for long ; ) Most often I find myself in the 8:30-9:30 range on long outings, depending, but I'm much more comfortable measuring my runs in hours out, vertical gain, terrain, and summits … Continue reading slowing down

2015: A year of intention
We look with uncertainty beyond the old choices for clear-cut answers to a softer, more permeable aliveness Anne Hillman 2014 ended with some wild swings of the weather pendulum--each one carrying with it its own seasonality, memories, and sense of place. Late autumn brought an early winter, with temps … Continue reading 2015: A year of intention
the art of running in the rain
My dog Dragon and I sat nestled by the woodstove on the couch one late fall evening on the week before the solstice, listening to a fresh access of wind that caught against the house a moment. I had put off (I would say we, but that would make Dragon equally culpable in my procrastination...) the day's run, … Continue reading the art of running in the rain
Supporter Spotlight: Newton Running!

an evening out
A run on my favorite 5-miler at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center trails with Dragon....with a few extra hills mixed in. Soon we'll all be skiing this same stretch of trail, but for the time being, it's a great end-of-day workout ; )
on losing a running partner
A post from Canicross Quebec on Facebook on Monday morning led with: Courir avec deux jambes, c’est bien. Mais avec six, c’est encore mieux. C’est justement ce en quoi consiste le canicross, une activité sportive où chien et maître courent de concert. At the time I clicked 'like,' I had no idea that one of … Continue reading on losing a running partner
Ready to Run
Thursday afternoon....the clouds have covered nearly all the openings of blue; it's a grey, fall day. I'm looking forward to a run on the campus trails with the team in a couple of hours, and I'm hoping the rain will hold off until we're back, but chances are this'll be another run in the cold … Continue reading Ready to Run
