5 Benefits of Recovery Runs

June 10, 2022June 9, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 8 Comments

There were many years that I shunned the Recovery Run, then there was a period when I was running recovery runs on a regular basis. In that period I came to appreciate the Recovery Run. I'm linking up with My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Runs with Pugs, Zenaida and Run Laugh Eat Pie for Fit Five Friday. … Continue reading 5 Benefits of Recovery Runs

Summer Bucket List 22

June 7, 2022June 4, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

If you've ever been involved with caretaking, even if you're not the every day caretaker, you probably know that your life is basically not your own. I'm lucky that I have two siblings and we all play our different roles, but things happen when you least expect it and you just have to do it. … Continue reading Summer Bucket List 22

In a Holding Pattern: 5/30 – 6/5 WRD

June 5, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 22 Comments

Pretty much every day I had no idea if I'd be home, or heading towards my moms. As you read this I probably am -- but I put all that uncertainty to good use and got in 4 runs this week, going up to 8 miles. I actually doubled my weekly mileage from the previous … Continue reading In a Holding Pattern: 5/30 – 6/5 WRD

Will this be “the one”: Tea/coffee Date June 2022

June 3, 2022June 2, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

I'm joining  Coco and Deborah with some of the things I meant to tell you in May, but then I veered course and shared my race photos. There's a few new things, too -- and an explanation for the stress I alluded to in last week's weekly run down. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd … Continue reading Will this be “the one”: Tea/coffee Date June 2022

Compassion: May 2022

May 31, 2022May 28, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Compassion is the wish to see others free of suffering. -- The Dalai Lama I consider myself to be a compassionate person, but I'm not going to lie -- sometimes my mother's complaining gets to me, the way she sometimes rewrites history. The quote above is a good reminder to me to just be a … Continue reading Compassion: May 2022

Hello from ME!: 5/23 – 29 WRD

May 29, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

Well, we're home now, but I managed not to post while we were in ME (you never know who's reading!). So not much running this week, but plenty of cross training. I am currently sharing a day by day recap of our adventures on Facebook (follow me here). So many great photos! I'm joining Kim … Continue reading Hello from ME!: 5/23 – 29 WRD

Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

May 27, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

Long Runs: Time or Length?

May 24, 2022May 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Long runs can be wonderful confidence boosters, or they can completely suck any confidence you've ever had that you could run a particular distance out of you. No matter how many times you've raced that particular distance! Many of us run our long runs based on distance. But should  you? Running for distance: Running for … Continue reading Long Runs: Time or Length?

More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD

May 22, 2022May 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

It was a busy week of errands, visiting mom, and working on projects. A cold front last weekend blew out all the hot air, only to have it come back with a vengeance by week's end. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and going longer again but keeping the "easy" runs short … Continue reading More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD

May 20, 2022May 17, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

My socks stay intact, but I know a lot of runners who struggle with holey socks -- and holey running shoes, too! Knock on wood that hasn't been a problem for me so far. I got curious about what might cause this problem and any possible solutions. I'm linking up with My First 5K and … Continue reading 5 Tips to Keep Your Socks Whole!
