Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD

January 29, 2023January 29, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 38 Comments

Last Sunday it was goodbye to my high school friend's mother. This week it was goodbye to Mr. Judy's uncle. Although relatively young (early 80s) and relatively healthy, he'd been in the hospital with pancreatitis almost a month. They were actually talking about him going home -- and then in a few days he was … Continue reading Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD

Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023

January 27, 2023January 26, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 22 Comments

2023 running is off to a rocky start. I thought I was doing everything I could to be off to a better start than last year, but it's actually worse. I know I don't sound like one, but I actually am an optimist. Each year I do have hope it will be better than the … Continue reading Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023

A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD

January 22, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

. . . in a very gray week Another week, another pop up chance to visit my mom. Trying to reframe here! Had nothing to do with her, actually -- I'll talk a bit more about it in the favorites section. Oh, yeah, I ran, too. A teeny bit. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD

Finally some quiet!: 1/9 – 15 WRD

January 16, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 13 Comments

The title of this blog has a double meaning: More R & R New, quieter dishwasher I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and still staying active with Yoga, Pilates, and dog walks. Still not running . . . I did consider it, but all in all it was a busy -- and … Continue reading Finally some quiet!: 1/9 – 15 WRD

R & R: 1/2 – 8 WRD

January 8, 2023January 8, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

Not much to report. Taking a bit of a break -- you may or may not have noticed I didn't even post last week. I didn't do much. Heck, I didn't do much this week either, but I wanted to check in with y'all. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and staying … Continue reading R & R: 1/2 – 8 WRD

Mom Edition: Tea/coffee Date January 2023

January 6, 2023January 5, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 35 Comments

I'm joining  Coco and Deborah for our first hot beverage meetup of the year! Luckily my family doesn't read this blog, so I'm sharing some observations from my recent stay at my mom's. At her 94th birthday If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . . I'd tell you that my mom is diabetic, and yet she basically … Continue reading Mom Edition: Tea/coffee Date January 2023

Last Runfessions 2022

December 30, 2022December 29, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 18 Comments

Running in December started out strong, and then petered out at the end of the month. Since this is a typical Winter pattern for me, I'm not surprised or worried -- I know I can rebuild when the time is right. If I rest now hopefully I'll be back out there running soon in 2023. … Continue reading Last Runfessions 2022

Happy Holidays!: 12/19 – 25 WRD

December 25, 2022December 25, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

The plan was to try to squeeze in three runs in this week, but after two runs my body clearly wasn't really digging the lack of rest so I let that go. I've worked really hard to try to relax more this December, even though that got completely hijacked by last week. I'd rather rest … Continue reading Happy Holidays!: 12/19 – 25 WRD

I lied to you: 12/12 – 18 WRD

December 18, 2022December 18, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 38 Comments

Okay, it was a lie by omission. Remember when I told you Mr. Judy asked "you know it's snowing, right" when I told him I was running last Sunday? What I didn't tell you was that he asked that question from Seattle. Because he was out visiting his mom. I had a busy week of … Continue reading I lied to you: 12/12 – 18 WRD

Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD

December 11, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 19 Comments

Sleep was spotty this week, which led to many senior moments. There was a trip to mom, so there was a short hike but a bit less running than I wanted. As usual I just tried to do the best I could. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and wondering why that … Continue reading Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD
