It’s already been a year since I started running regularly for the first time in my life. Does that mean I’m officially a runner 🙂 ? Though if the term was up to me, I’d say anyone who runs any distance is part of the club – so welcome 🙂 . A while ago, I went into detail about my shock and surprise that I started running a year ago and ENJOY it. It was aptly called: From Hate To Love: How I Became A Runner.

Well, 2022 continues to barrel through time at a break-neck pace. Another month down and I need to start thinking about more seriously about the broad strokes of my travel in 2023. Oh the problems of retirees 🙂 . In the meantime, let’s see what I got up to in July!

2022 is half over…which is strange since my brain still seems stuck in 2020. Oh well. This month we headed back to the States for the first time in several months only for the supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade and take us back 50 years…Welcome back to America I guess.
I keep writing the date as March instead of May in case you’re wondering how my perception of time has been affected by retirement 🙂 . So let’s see what I got up to in May (not March!).
Ok – seriously, how is 2022 1/3 over? Traveling internationally has seriously made this year fly by. I need to recalibrate 🙂 . Anyway, after our month in Thailand, we hung out in the northeast that was flirting with spring before heading to our next adventure: México! Let’s see what I got up to this month 🙂 .
We’re back in the Northeast USA! After a month in Thailand, I landed in NYC, went to Connecticut for a hot second, and have been bopping around New York State, Massachusetts and Vermont ever since. It’s been a wild time – mostly because of the weather. It’s gone from a sub-zero snowpocalypse to 65 and sunny and back in the Northeast. I’m getting whiplash 🙂 .
So, I DESPISED running. I hated it with a burning passion every time I had to run more than a few feet while training for sports in middle school and high school. I couldn’t understand people who said they liked it or that it kept them sane or that they looked forward to it. I thought they were a bit looney if I’m being honest 🙂 .

So I haven’t experienced real winter since living in NYC in 2015 and a few months ago I had the (not so) bright idea of spending December and January in the northeast. I was born and raised in Georgia and even during that time, my Mom and I usually went somewhere even warmer like Florida or the Caribbean to tan over Christmas. Well, these last few months were my first foray into snow and sub-zero temperatures in years. Let’s see how it went 🙂 .
