October was a lot less busy than September, and after a couple of months of travel -- mostly fun stuff -- I was ready for a slower pace. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know that I did run a half marathon on Cape Cod this weekend. In a Nor'easter. I was … Continue reading October 2018: Did I pass?

State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
. . . Well no, MA is a repeat state for me, so just two new states added this year (ID & NJ). However, Mr. Judy (more so than me!) and I have spent many happy hours on the Cape, as his parents retired to there (but then moved away about the time we moved … Continue reading State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap

5 Ways to Take off Pressure
My running friends know that when I train, I train hard. I rarely cut runs short. It's even rarer for me to skip a long run. I'll choose to run by myself when my schedule and my friends' schedules don't match up. Just because I train hard, though, doesn't mean that I am certain of … Continue reading 5 Ways to Take off Pressure
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
This year I got to ride with friends so there was no mad dash to make it to the starting line like last year (read about it here). We had a fairly large group, with most doing the 5k, but this year there were a couple of friends doing the 10k, too. It's always fun … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18

Fall arrived in a big way this week, but not before Summer battled for it and almost finished me off.

I'm joining … Continue reading Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Your Mom was Right
Who knew that moms are the best coaches (and no, that's not me and my mom up there)? Seriously, just think about all those little nuggets of wisdom your mom has been telling you all your life.

Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
