I love the farmers market. Who doesn’t?! Bay View has one Saturday’s mornings the rest of October. Then West Allis is where I go thru Thanksgiving. Walked over with my cart this last weekend as I had squash and pumpkins in mind. Living less than a mile away- this cart is FANTASTIC for hauling the heavy stuff. I do wish the cart wheels were a little bigger, and that it had a ‘second’ layer hatch like a friends of mines… but hey for a few bucks thrifting it has been doing just fine for years now. But seriously.. should I … Continue reading Falling for the Fall Farmers Market

So I couldn’t get my final training run in today because the back left knee area is just saying NO! And rather than risk a real injury – tried some biking today and will work on recovery the rest of this week. Hopefully that goes well and I can run 12 miles or so next weekend before the Fox Cities marathon in two- yikes but YES it’s only TWO weeks away. My better half wanted to get in a bike ride so he came along! Here was our haul: I like yard decorations, especially plastic light ups that last a … Continue reading Biking or Rummaging? Both!
Last weekend was my 20 mile training run. Started off slow and the fake hubby was with me … 3 miles and he turned around for a total of a 6 mile run (he mowed the lawn then!! Yeah!) and I kept trucking on. As usual my pit stop was at the golf course before heading into Grant Park. I love this part of the trail, who am I kidding I love the entire section of the Oak Leaf Trail has been my home court these years.
