Runners who live in cold places often bemoan the arrival of Fall, because that means Winter is not far behind. You know I am no Winter lover, but it's going to come whether I embrace Fall or not, so why not enjoy all that Fall has to offer up here? Nowhere near peak but Fall … Continue reading Embracing Fall Running: Runfessions September 2022

Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
Yes, I got boosted. All my other shots have been Moderna, and I had horrible reactions to them and ongoing fatigue and sometimes joint pain for weeks afterwards. This time there was just a very slight reaction and I felt relatively back to normal pretty quickly. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
Cutting back: 9/2 – 18 WRD
It was a week filled with errands and appointments for both myself and Mr. Judy. I had planned to go see my mom, but between the weather, her schedule, and ours, there wasn't really a day available. Not great for my mom but good for me. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, … Continue reading Cutting back: 9/2 – 18 WRD
Missed opportunities: 9/5 – 11 WRD
Mostly I kept trying to take photos or videos of animals and not getting the shot -- I'll talk more about that at the end! For the most part it was a quiet week but I got in some solid movement. It helps to be home! I am, however, writing this post on Saturday, LOL, … Continue reading Missed opportunities: 9/5 – 11 WRD
More firsts: 8/29 – 9/4 WRD
Despite the very warm stay at my moms, I rallied back this week -- which still only meant two days of running, but it is what it is. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and grateful to be feeling better -- I think some cooler weather for a couple of days helped; … Continue reading More firsts: 8/29 – 9/4 WRD
Hitchikers: Tea/coffee Date September 2022
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing random odd encounters lately. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you about the woman with the walking shorts. As in she walked in the same shorts every single time I saw her for days. Does she own multiple pairs? It just seemed odd. Eventually I did see … Continue reading Hitchikers: Tea/coffee Date September 2022
Compassion: August 2022
It's easy to give cheerfully when life is going relatively well. It's more difficult in difficult situations, but I am working on it and this quote is a great reminder! How did August go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsAs mentioned in my goals, I'm still pretty much winging it. I got to almost the … Continue reading Compassion: August 2022
Rolling with the River: 8/22 – 28 WRD
There wasn't much going on this week. I realized part of why my paces was so slow in my trail race last week -- I was coming down with something. Not apparently COVID, and not terrible, but enough to make me rest a lot, especially since I have to go to my moms a few … Continue reading Rolling with the River: 8/22 – 28 WRD
Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
Sometimes that's literally hitting the trails, as in falling onto them. Thankfully the falls are not often. My worst fall ever was on pavement. Not as pretty as the last cloud photo I took in this spot but still nice I runfess . . .I am really loving all the shade on the trails I've … Continue reading Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
Nope, not for you, Bandit This was my third time at the Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, my second time running the 10k -- to be totally honest, if the 5k was still an option as it was the first time I attended this festival, I'd still be running it! I last ran this race … Continue reading Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22
