I mean seriously I should know better. So I got on the treadmill Monday, and while the left foot felt reasonable, I'd tried out some new walking shoes the day before. I'd loosened the laces but I guess they were still too tight. I knew it was hurting to run (and doing a little speedwork) … Continue reading Why are Runners Stupid?: 1/15 – 21 WRD
A Rundown Rundown: 1/1 – 14 WRD
Thankfully I'm feeling okay (well, except for the foot -- which is on and off) -- but sleep has been meh for a while. So it was a scaled back week, but there was a nice mixture of fitness all the same and I'm okay with it. I'd rather rest more than get sick by … Continue reading A Rundown Rundown: 1/1 – 14 WRD
Forget Cool Runnings . . .: 1/1 – 7 WRD
. . . chilly running was the name of the game this week! It wasn't too bad though. I got in my runs, but struggled with getting in some strength training (again). At least all three runs this week were outside! Especially as it's supposed to snow all day today. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly … Continue reading Forget Cool Runnings . . .: 1/1 – 7 WRD
Dill that ate the Basil: Tea/coffee Date January 2024
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and grateful that my sister was on hand for the return of my mom's regular aide. I haven't actually spoken with my sister, but I assume things went okay. Although the aide needed to renew her certificate and that made her come later in the day -- just another reason I was … Continue reading Dill that ate the Basil: Tea/coffee Date January 2024
Ready for the New!: 12/25 – 31 WRD
Let's just say all sorts of plans got screwed up in the last couple of weeks, the end result being that we are going to visit my mom today -- and that means only two runs this week. Not at all the plan but it is what it is. On the brighter side, Albie the … Continue reading Ready for the New!: 12/25 – 31 WRD
Where did THAT come from?: Runfessions December 2023
In November if was wrist pain and a very stiff neck for a long time -- both of those pains resolved. But the niggles never seem to end, do they? Although some days this one is more than a niggle. I runfess . . .It seems I've finally fallen prey to Plantar Fasciitis. I think. … Continue reading Where did THAT come from?: Runfessions December 2023
May you feel peaceful: 12/18 – 24 WRD
This week started out great. I've been feeling and recovering better than I have been in weeks. I went to bed Tuesday night feeling fine, and woke up a few hours later feeling not fine at all -- luckily, that only seemed to last a day. Very weird! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah … Continue reading May you feel peaceful: 12/18 – 24 WRD
The Truth is Out There: 12/5 – 17 WRD
My mom got a nice surprise yesterday when Mr. Judy and Bandit came with me to visit for the first time in almost 6 months. Her apartment was still like a sauna, but Bandit's pupsicle kept him occupied once we got him going. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and coasting towards … Continue reading The Truth is Out There: 12/5 – 17 WRD
A Great Miracle Happened Here: 12/4 – 10 WRD

Easy fitness: 11/27 – 12/3 WRD
Not a whole lot going on this week. Well, not so much fitness -- but fitness is still happening. Does fitness mean pushing myself to exhaustion? No, definitely not. My Garmin says I run more than 74% of women my age. Which is kind of funny, don't you think? I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading Easy fitness: 11/27 – 12/3 WRD
