People have been talking so much about 2019 being the close of the decade (or 2020 being the start of a new one). Seems they can't even agree on when a new decade starts. So What can Change in a Decade? A whole lot, it turns out! Saying Goodbye There were many losses in the … Continue reading What can change in a decade?

Moving into 2020: 12/23-29 WRD
It was a somewhat challenging week to get in movement, due to travel and weather, but I managed pretty well. Got together with friends, briefly, attended a party, was there for my family. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and continuing my run when I can theme -- and often walk when I … Continue reading Moving into 2020: 12/23-29 WRD
The Cookie Monster . . .: Runfessions December 2019
. . . and #allthechocolate too! Actually, I haven't done too badly with holiday eating. Yet. Why does all the sugar, carb laden food have to come out just when I'm at my weakest due to the cold and almost nonexistent sunshine? I runfess I'm actually glad I don't have to attend #alltheholidayparties. I runfess … Continue reading The Cookie Monster . . .: Runfessions December 2019
Love Hurts: December 2019
I got to racing so much in November that apparently I was too busy writing up race recaps and never recapped November! It's my favorite time of year to race, which is why I have so many long sleeve tech shirts (which I like to sleep in). Running has been going well on just three … Continue reading Love Hurts: December 2019
Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD
Running went quite well this week. Paces are dropping a tad while HR is steady, all while pretty much running by feel. I got in a little more strength training, too. Snow flew, frigidly cold air moved in. Life, however, well, not so great. We have been pushing through getting my Dad into a nursing … Continue reading Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD

Baby it’s cold outside! But . . .
. . . that doesn't mean you shouldn't cool down If you live up North like I do, everything is just harder in winter. Running feels harder because you have to bundle up so much. Running is slower because you have to watch out for black ice. Heck, just getting out the front door can … Continue reading Baby it’s cold outside! But . . .
Thawing out: 12/9-15 WRD
I thought we'd be going to my parents today, but we're going to try for tomorrow since my nephew (who lives in India -- yes, the country) will be visiting. So I didn't need to get that long run in on Friday, but then I didn't have to deal with the crazy wind today. I … Continue reading Thawing out: 12/9-15 WRD
Not HIITing It
Every Winter I go through the same routine, unless I'm training for a mid Winter half: I figure I'm not training for anything, so it's time to really hit the strength training. Often after months of ST taking a back seat to running. Fairytales and Fitness Not giving up on ST, but . . … Continue reading Not HIITing It
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/7/19
No running through the snow but plenty of snow on the ground made the narrow city streets even narrower this year for Last Run Albany. Add in icy bits (my racing nemesis lately) and it's a good thing I always consider Last Run Albany a fun run. Packet Pickup This year they changed the location … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/7/19
