How I Defeated Achilles Tendonitis

February 12, 2021 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

Seriously I can't tell you how many times I've thought that since I started to run. Running is time consuming, especially if you train to race longer distances. It requires support from your loved ones, whether that's just time to run or helping out with chores or being your literal support crew! Running can be … Continue reading Running is silly!

January 29, 2021January 28, 2021 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

Well, there weren't many running miles in January, and I suppose I should come up with some clever headings for my runfessions, but we'll just call them that anyway. My brain is fried from all the work I've been doing the last few weeks! You might notice a common theme in most of these runfessions … Continue reading I Killed My Carrots!: Runfessions January 2021
