I have been looking at half marathons in Savannah forever, it seems. But I'm picky; just ask Mr. Judy. Many of the halfs there are in April -- too hot and humid (and maybe rainy)! Of course sometimes you can catch a break, but no. Just no. Then Best Damn Races announced they would be … Continue reading Best Damn Race Savannah Half Marathon Race Recap 2/16/19

R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap
In some ways it seems kind of pointless to join up with the Weekly Wrap, because there wasn't a lot of movement this week. But that's just the point: sometimes recovery looks like being lazy, but recovery is important -- and I don't have anything on my schedule right now, either. Perfect timing. I'm joining … Continue reading R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Shoegate: Runfessions February 2019
I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to share my thoughts on Shoegate 2019. Don't know what that is? I wish I didn't! I runfess . . . The black hole saga continues. I've written about the black hole in my house somewhere that possessions seem to fall through -- many times! The newest additions were my … Continue reading Shoegate: Runfessions February 2019
I ruined running
Did you catch this article from Steve Jones: "Starting and Finishing a Marathon Doesn't Make You a Marathoner". The article was published three years ago, and I started this post almost as long ago. It languished on the back burner a long time. If you missed it, you can read it here. It didn't sit … Continue reading I ruined running

So you wanna go on a Racecation . . .
Now watcha gonna do? It's tempting to do all the things when you go on racecation, but if you actually want to race, you'll be better served by taking it easy. That doesn't mean you have to lock yourself in your hotel room! Walking Tours This may seem conterintuitive, but the truth is most walking … Continue reading So you wanna go on a Racecation . . .
Change your morning, change your life
What is the first thing you do in the morning? I'll bet for many the answer will be check their phone: email, facebook, instagram, etc. Maybe before you even got out of bed. Now think about this, and be honest with yourself: do you feel energized to tackle your day after that? Does it make … Continue reading Change your morning, change your life
The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him. When you're in caretaking mode, you don't realize just how much time that caretaking consumes. I didn't really think that he was that … Continue reading The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
What will keep you running?
It was just earlier in the week that I wrote tips for getting in more activity in Winter (read that post here). Well, there's a dark side to that story. It's no secret that Winter is not my favorite season. There was a reason I interviewed with companies in more temperate climates when I was … Continue reading What will keep you running?
Adventures with a creamsicle cat
I'm sharing more stories about Gizmo (for those that don't know, we helped him cross the Rainbow Bridge last week -- read more about him here). As I was sorting through photos and trying to choose them for the post above, there were so many that told stories. Gizmo enjoying some time outside safely This photo … Continue reading Adventures with a creamsicle cat
