I'm not sure if it was just things catching up with me, the travel, the stress, or all of the above, but I felt a little off for most of the week. Nothing serious, pretty sure I'm not really coming down with anything, just my body telling me it's time to respect it a bit … Continue reading Respecting my body:10/24-30 Weekly Wrap

Speed FOMO: October 2016 Runfessions
So yeah, we're now married 31 years, I completed half #13, and my parents are moved into their new apartment. It was a busy month, y'all. Not too busy to scare up a few runfessions (like how I got in a little Halloween theme, there, even though it's not really my thing). I'm hooking up … Continue reading Speed FOMO: October 2016 Runfessions
Bandit/Houdini: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about the shorter days, the benefits of someone cooking for me and the furkids -- of course. Did you catch what I did? With my subject for the Weekly Wrap? There's no place like home. It made sense -- it was nice to finally get home and stay home after just about two weeks … Continue reading Bandit/Houdini: TOLT
Is it a Nuisance — or not?
Nuisance: a person, thing, or situation that is annoying or that causes trouble or problems The quote above is so true -- I say it often, happiness is a choice. We can't change many things, but we can change the way we feel about them. Yet that's not the nuisance I'm going to write about in … Continue reading Is it a Nuisance — or not?
The 2 that got away
Today I'm talking about half marathons that didn't go quite the way I expected, and what I learned from them. Las Vegas RnR: the first time I chose (sort of) Las Vegas to be my first half marathon because: Running with friends (or so I thought) I love Vegas Mr. Judy also loves Vegas Running … Continue reading The 2 that got away
There’s no place like home:10/17-23 Weekly Wrap
There wasn't a whole lot of organized exercise going on this week; it was a busy week of travel. Flying across the country to get home, one day at home, driving down to move my parents into their new home. Although I didn't do much (if any) yoga or or strength training, and always planned … Continue reading There’s no place like home:10/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Just because you can . . .
. . . should you? It seems like multi event weekends are all the rage now. And Ragnar, of course, which is sort of a multi event weekend. I haven't done either. And I'm not saying you absolutely shouldn't, but sometimes it's wise to stop and give some hard thought to why you're really signing … Continue reading Just because you can . . .
Epic trip, epic fails: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about all the shenanigans on our most recent epic trip. And there definitely were some! Missing all the bloggers When it came to blogger meetup, my recent trip was an epic failure. Patty @ Mynoguiltlife lives in Phoenix -- but guess was she there when I was? Of course not. Then I saw that … Continue reading Epic trip, epic fails: TOLT
Opportunist: how will you use your minutes?
Opportunist: a person who exploits circumstances to gain immediate advantage rather than being guided by consistent principles or plans I have to admit, in general I don't consider myself to be an opportunist, except, perhaps, when it comes to training plans. I like to experiment, which means while certain elements of my half marathon training remain the … Continue reading Opportunist: how will you use your minutes?
What’s left to accomplish in 2016?
Not having goals is like setting out for a road trip without your GPS (which used to be a map, of course). Yet I've been cruising through most of 2016 without much thought to goals. First there was losing Chester, then going through the grief process, things finally started to look up, then there was … Continue reading What’s left to accomplish in 2016?
