Last weekend I did something I’ve never done. After mostly enjoying a mostly glorious run between rain showers, I cut my run short and walked the rest of the way home (about 1/2 mile). My left hip wasn’t having it. The slight tug had turned into a searing burn and there was really no question of “pushing through”—and certainly no reason to. 😟

After gorgeous weather for the Lawyers Have Heart last weekend, temperatures soared into record-breaking territory on Monday and Tuesday (98F!) and then plummeted into the 50s with rain most of Thursday, all of Friday, and into the weekend, setting us up for a mucky Memorial Day weekend.

The weather was perfect for the 2026 Lawyers Have Heart 10K—upper 50s/low 60s, blue skies, cool breeze. That didn’t keep me from having my slowest race ever, but I probably did had the race I trained for.
I did finish smiling!
Happy Mother’s Day! There’s something about Mother’s Day weekend that makes me want to fill my flower pots. Even though gardening generally does not bring me joy, it doesn’t take much motivation to pick out pretty flowers and get them potted.
I thought I went berry-picking early, but looking back on last year, it seems like I have a tradition of making a berry good start to May. 😉
13 lbs of fresh-picked sweetness!
