. . . all the food Oh, how I wish that was true: that I could just eat whatever I wanted to because I run. I found out quickly, training for my first half marathon, that that is just not the case. Nor for me, anyway. But I do love the fact that I do … Continue reading All the miles . . .
Tuesdays on the Run
5 Reasons I Love Racing
You don't have to be fast to love racing. You don't have to race a lot to love racing, either. I don't race as often as many of my friends race; OTOH, I race a lot more often than some of my friends race. That's life -- right? There's always someone faster, slower, doing more, … Continue reading 5 Reasons I Love Racing
Anatomy of a training cycle
You've probably seen the facebook memes using emojis for running a half marathon or a marathon. No? Well, you can see one on a blog here. Today I'm going to write about the training cycle, not the actual race itself. Yippee! I'm signed up for a race! I am so excited (how many times have I … Continue reading Anatomy of a training cycle
January 2017: Did I pass?
I may have been slacking (somewhat) on recording my fitness this month -- I used to do a monthly review in my journal. But I've never before done it online. I must say, after working on this post, I'm glad that I did (and hope that it becomes a regular Tuesdays on the Run topic). Getting … Continue reading January 2017: Did I pass?
Second verse, same as the first

The 2 that got away
Today I'm talking about half marathons that didn't go quite the way I expected, and what I learned from them. Las Vegas RnR: the first time I chose (sort of) Las Vegas to be my first half marathon because: Running with friends (or so I thought) I love Vegas Mr. Judy also loves Vegas Running … Continue reading The 2 that got away
What’s left to accomplish in 2016?
Not having goals is like setting out for a road trip without your GPS (which used to be a map, of course). Yet I've been cruising through most of 2016 without much thought to goals. First there was losing Chester, then going through the grief process, things finally started to look up, then there was … Continue reading What’s left to accomplish in 2016?

I feel like that's what happened to me when the folks at ShinTekk reached out to me and asked if I wanted to review it. I love to try … Continue reading ShinTekk: The best gadget I didn’t know I needed
