I didn't mention the fact that Mr. Judy was off visiting his mom last week, since I don't like to broadcast that -- that was the main reason for a lack of sleep mid week. He came back in the middle of the night before my Wednesday run. The title refers to the fact that … Continue reading Mosquitoes 6, Me 1: 8/7 – 8/13 WRD

Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
At the beginning of the week it was beginning to feel -- and actually look -- a lot like Fall. Yes, I've noticed a few trees already beginning to turn. A very welcome break from the heat, humidity, bad air, and rain of most of July. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
A Biblical July: Tea/coffee Date August 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and expecting Noah's Ark to go by any second! If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you in June we were all, in this area, complaining about how dry it was. Remember to always be careful about what you ask for, because July turned into the wettest July ever since … Continue reading A Biblical July: Tea/coffee Date August 2023
Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
It was another busy week, but this time at least there were some fun things on the calendar! Normally I'd be going to see my mom again next week, but when a BBQ took my sister there this week, I decided I could use a little breather. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
Striding through Summer: Runfessions July 2023
Whether you love or hate Summer running, it's no secret that this Summer has been tough on runners in my neck of the woods. What can make it easier? How do you know when you're really ready for a harder run? These are what I meant to grab -- they actually do look a lot … Continue reading Striding through Summer: Runfessions July 2023
How to get strong?: 7/17 – 23 WRD
When three of my friends in their early 70s broke something in the last six months, I stood up and took notice. I vaguely remember my mom, too, breaking or fracturing a foot or ankle at around the time (in addition to the breast cancer diagnosis) -- and my Dad also broke a wrist from … Continue reading How to get strong?: 7/17 – 23 WRD
Brighter Days: 7/10 – 16 WRD
Well, the weather continues to be mostly wet, hot, or humid -- or all three, so that's not so much brighter. But Bandit continues to improve, even going into his crate of his own volition to eat again towards the end of the week. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and yeah, … Continue reading Brighter Days: 7/10 – 16 WRD
I tried it: Bob and Brad’s Q2 Mini Massage Gun
When the team at Bob and Brad (two physical therapists) reached out to me to try their mini massage gun, I jumped at the chance. Have I long wanted a massage gun? Yes! Do I own what seems like every other myofascial relief tool? Yes! Well, not really; there are tons! It’s way smaller than … Continue reading I tried it: Bob and Brad’s Q2 Mini Massage Gun
In the Groove: 7/3 – 9 WRD
We are, for now, in a decent place with Bandit. He seems to be feeling perkier and we've narrowed it down to meds in tuna 3 x day with 3 small meals a day -- and he's eating better. Before it was like 6 mini meals which he wouldn't even necessarily eat plus the meds … Continue reading In the Groove: 7/3 – 9 WRD
It’s a zoo around here: Tea/coffee Date July 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing the entertaining antics of "wildlife" mostly in our backyard. I don't think it was this big (this photo is really cropped in!) but probably just a bit smaller | Photo by Aaron J Hill on Pexels.com If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you I had my very … Continue reading It’s a zoo around here: Tea/coffee Date July 2023
