Tramonto Path in N Phoenix

Nice shade and views

The monsoons are definitely here! We’ve had wicked winds blowing everything into the pool and finally got some rain this weekend. The weather brought us some wild guests: one snake and one baby owl! They both startled us, that is for sure. This was a reminder to mom and dad to watch their footing when […]

Sonoran Parkway / Dove Valley East Path

The Sonoran Desert Preserve

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, mom and I have been running again. We make a most excellent team. She leads me out, and I pull her home! Woof. One of our favorite local spots is the Sonoran Parkway / Dove Valley paved path. It is part of the Sonoran Desert Preserve on the […]

Skunk Creek Linear Park Path – Glendale

Kuma out for a run

Back in February of 2020, mom hurt her left ankle trail running. It has taken some time, but we are back baby! We’ve been taking advantage of the cooler mornings while we have them, and we tried a brand-new path. We’ve lived here seven years, and I have never once seen where mom works on […]

A Marathon of a Story

Kuma loves Boyd Lake

             Okay, it is officially HOT! We broke all kinds of records this past weekend in Phoenix: hottest temp for the day, hottest low, and multiple days in a row over 110…and it is only July! I don’t know about you, but I was a total slug this weekend. I didn’t move unless I had […]

Coaching can help you press on

Press on toward your goals

I shared recently about a challenging hill I am running up and down to exercise because I can (see Not Today blog). Well, the temperatures continue to rise here in Phoenix and that hill feels steeper every day but I press on. The crazy thing is that I am not out there alone. Other people […]

Kuma had a busy weekend

Kuma's buddy Joel is in town

           Boy, am I glad it is raining today because I need to rest! Our weekend started off with our Friday ritual of going to the park where I can visit the grass. Oh, how I love doing my grass dance for everyone to see! If I don’t say so myself, I have great form. […]

Kuma runs to the sea

Seabrook trail, Texas

Texas is a big state, but adventures don’t necessarily have to be far away. Hey, I’m a dog. I find my own backyard pretty darn fascinating! Did I tell you about the time a frog jumped out of the pool filter at my mom? HA! She screamed like a girl. I about fell over laughing, […]

Kuma encounters a Grizzly bear on his morning run!

Kuma encounters a Grizzly bear on his morning run

 Yes, I saw a bear this morning while on my morning run with my mom…right here in North Phoenix! We were turning a corner when another dog came tearing over toward me growling and barking up a storm. He was in full attack mode! I never understand such aggressive and usually just sit and cock […]

Look Who is Leading

About half way through my marathon, I needed to adjust my shoes and loosen up my shoe laces, as my feet had swollen. I pulled over to the shoulder of the road and began fixing my shoes. Unbeknownst to me, I had a group of runners behind me. As they approached, they pleaded with me, […]

Get Intense

Exercise at the right intensity

According to the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), 80 percent of Americans are not exercising enough to get a health benefit. As a fitness professional, this discourages me but doesn’t surprise me. Let me explain the statistic to you. It doesn’t mean people aren’t exercising. Many people hit the gym with the intent […]
