Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD

June 4, 2023June 3, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 14 Comments

I didn't realize I'd have to implement my new plan to (maybe) run twice a week and do a cycling workout twice a week so soon -- but this week went sideways quickly. Bandit's cough has been becoming more frequent, but the day after Memorial Day he became a honking goose. Sigh. Like Chester & … Continue reading Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD

Mostly Asheville edition: Tea/coffee Date June 2023

June 2, 2023June 2, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 26 Comments

I'm joining  Coco and Deborah and sharing a laugh at my expense, as well as a few things we liked and didn't like about Asheville. Plus I runfess that I wrote this post a couple of weeks ago, and then completely forgot about it. It's been a week -- I'll explain in the Weekly Rundown Sunday (although … Continue reading Mostly Asheville edition: Tea/coffee Date June 2023

Sunny Skies Ahead: 5/22 – 28 WRD

May 28, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

Just rebuilding my base, and considering how I want to stay fit going forward. I've been toying with the idea of alternating weeks with 2 runs and the next 3 runs, filling in with cycling (indoors, since I still don't like real bikes!). Haven't decided yet. Meanwhile Mother Nature is gifting us some spectacular weather, … Continue reading Sunny Skies Ahead: 5/22 – 28 WRD

Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023

May 26, 2023May 24, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I explain my displeasure with Peloton's new pricing for their app in my last point. Suffice it to say if you want to avail yourself of cardio classes (and you don't already own Peloton equipment), your monthly fee will double: Based on Peloton’s data from its most recent financial quarter, more than half of all … Continue reading Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023

Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD

May 21, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

Alternate title: Baby Steps My Garmin tells me I got enough intensity minutes this week. You know how you're supposed to get about 150 intensity minutes, and if you run, even low mileage, you are way beyond that. I found it hard to believe that I had enough even before today's run, but I'll take … Continue reading Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD

Yet another zero week: 5/8 – 14 WRD

May 14, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 36 Comments

I really couldn't understand why I wasn't feeling better. I mean, four COVID tests were negative (I even took a fifth one, but it was a dud and didn't even have a control line). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and another week with a whole lotta rest. The good news is … Continue reading Yet another zero week: 5/8 – 14 WRD

Exploring NC: 4/25 – 5/7 WRD

May 7, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

If you follow me on Facebook (here) you now know that we visited North Carolina. While there was no running, there was lots of activity! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and staying active without running. Workouts updateWalking, Pilates, Yoga, Hiking. I did actually take running clothes. I only took two pairs … Continue reading Exploring NC: 4/25 – 5/7 WRD

Dogs & Tech: Tea/coffee Date May 2023

May 5, 2023May 4, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

I'm joining  Coco and Deborah and actually have been drinking smoothies a bit more these days with the warmer weather (well, warmer weather when I originally wrote this pose -- although it's going to get warmer as this week goes on). My neighborhood continues to go to the dogs, and an upgrade gone well. If we were … Continue reading Dogs & Tech: Tea/coffee Date May 2023

Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023

April 28, 2023April 20, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 14 Comments

I had to deal with a slight setback to running in April. I am not training for anything, but I just want to keep my running base. Is that really too much to ask? I runfess . . .I was thinking about running my first race of 2023 last weekend. It's a race I did … Continue reading Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023

Crashed & Burned: 4/17 – 23 WRD

April 23, 2023April 22, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 30 Comments

Or is that burned & crashed? I didn't injure myself, if that's what you're thinking. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and resting, resting, and more rest -- although by end of the week I was walking again and that felt good to both myself and Bandit. Workouts updateSome walking and some … Continue reading Crashed & Burned: 4/17 – 23 WRD
