“Running” Cedar Park, 2024
Morning Pages Still Going Strong
“Morning Pages” Cedar Park, 2023
I’m still enjoying writing my morning pages every day. I’m about halfway through this notebook (it’s a thick one from Daiso) and I have been using Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun “Winter Shogun” ink in my Lamy Safari broad nib fountain pen. It’s a light cool grey color and so beautiful. Highly recommended!
Best Run
“New Shoes” Cedar Park, 2023
Today I had one of the best runs ever. It started off just like any other, even a bit too cold for me, but soon I was just cruising along. I had so much energy, and the songs that were appearing from my playlist were perfect. A mix of energetic, nostalgic, and feel-good. I was smiling almost the whole run!
“Railway” Cedar Park 2023
In fact, I waved at pretty much all the runners that I saw. I think the combination of morning coffee and two day’s worth of mashed potatoes and stuffing gave me a ton of energy, and I didn’t feel any aches or pains other than the normal muscle soreness. My shoulder usually starts hurting at about 6 miles, but I didn’t feel any pain the whole run!
“Open Road” Cedar Park, 2023
I’m not a fast runner, but today I felt like I was on cruise control. It was lik my second wind kicked in early and never let up. I guess I was experiencing the proverbial runner’s high as well, and I only stopped for drink of water and to stretch.
I mentioned that the music was perfect today, and one of the songs that gave me the most energy was Venus by Hitomi. And I realized that playing the air drums while running is so much fun! 😂
I honestly can’t remember a better run that today’s. It felt so good. And I ended up setting a half-marathon PR. Woohoo!!

On to the Next Notebook
“Notebook Collecton” Cedar Park, 2023
I started writing my Morning Pages a few months ago, and since then I’ve completed two notebooks. Today I am starting a new one, so I need to choose from my unused collection. Most of these are just blank pages (no lines or grid) so I’m not sure how the writing will go, but I’m not too worried about it. I’m mainly just happy that I’ve been able to keep at it almost every day. It’s so therapeutic to write out my thoughts without censorship, editing, or worrying about grammar, spelling, or penmanship.
And it’s such a treat to take the finished notebook and throw it into the recycling bin. Onto the next notebook!
Boosted
“Booster Time” Cedar Park, 2023
I got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s time for my COVID booster. My arm is so sore after this one! Hoping to stay healthy this winter.
