Or a Tale of Two Christmas Trees Or really three Christmas trees. Like much of the nation our temperatures quickly plummeted this week. And didn't budge. Just like forecast. Throw in some snow, and I was right about those treadmill runs. The good news is that by Tuesday I was feeling back to normal. Hopefully … Continue reading Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap

Do you think about food: Runfessions December 2017
. . . as much as I do? All my runfessions seem to include at least one about food. Sometimes multiple runfessions about food. I admire you people who eat to live, I really do. I just enjoy my food far too much for that to be me -- but I have gotten better at … Continue reading Do you think about food: Runfessions December 2017
Looking back at 2017
And looking for those silver linings When I picked my word for 2017, I wrote about having the patience to see my training bear fruit (read about that here, and my word for 2018 here). Little did I know, that patience would be rewarded; in spades! January Rachel @ Runningonhappy offered a free month of … Continue reading Looking back at 2017
Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I was going along, running easy, and wham! On Tuesday I came down with some mild (thankfully) flu-like symptoms: extreme fatigue, mild muscle aches. I ran that day, but it was slow and quite frankly I probably shouldn't have, but I didn't realize that until I started to run. The odd thing was that after … Continue reading Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
5 Reasons Believe is my 2018 Word
2016's word was Respect (you can read that post here). 2017's word was Patience (you can read about that here). I am joining the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy to share why Believe is my 2018 word. Oddly, I didn't give Patience must thought in 2017. I didn't even remember … Continue reading 5 Reasons Believe is my 2018 Word
Fabulous Last Minute Shopping
From Fabletics While you know how much I love my Skirtsports, I understand: not everyone can afford them (although you should totally check them out during a sale, and I will try to alert you when there are sales!). I joined Fabletics many years ago. And for a while, I was pretty obsessed, I'll admit. … Continue reading Fabulous Last Minute Shopping
Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap
It was a much needed quiet week filled with treadmill runs, lots of cold, lots of wind, and a little more snow. Just enough to be annoying -- the kind that if I didn't shovel the driveway it would turn into an icy mess. Turns out even with my treadmill runs, icy mess was the … Continue reading Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap

Because tomorrow the price goes up for Laura @ Mommyrunfast's Fit and Fueled nutrition … Continue reading 5 Reasons to Check Out . . .
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/9/17
It was both a PW (personal worst) and a PB (personal best) -- PW in terms of finish time, PB in terms of #holottafun. In fact, I'm kind of wimping out even calling this a race recap and posting it, but I guess you'll need to read on to see why. Packet Pickup After last … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/9/17
Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
Last month of 2017. Last "race" of 2017. Nope, definitely not a PR this time, but it was snowing and slippery and we took our sweet time -- but we had a lot of fun. When I went to shovel the driveway this afternoon, I discovered just why it was so slippery -- it was … Continue reading Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
