You know how they say how will you know someone has run a marathon? Don't worry, they'll tell you. At every opportunity. Just like I will probably be telling everyone I ran in a Nor'easter for a long. long time. Don't want to walk the dogs in a little drizzle? Really? Glad I took … Continue reading REALLY soaking up that sea air: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2018
Tuesdays on the Run
October 2018: Did I pass?
October was a lot less busy than September, and after a couple of months of travel -- mostly fun stuff -- I was ready for a slower pace. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know that I did run a half marathon on Cape Cod this weekend. In a Nor'easter. I was … Continue reading October 2018: Did I pass?
Couch to Active: Book Review + Giveaway
There's a good chance that you're intimately acquainted with Couch to 5k if you read my blog. You're probably already pretty active. But do you struggle with your motivation? Is it still hard to get out the door -- to run, to get to the gym, or even simply get out on your lunch hour … Continue reading Couch to Active: Book Review + Giveaway
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
This year I got to ride with friends so there was no mad dash to make it to the starting line like last year (read about it here). We had a fairly large group, with most doing the 5k, but this year there were a couple of friends doing the 10k, too. It's always fun … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/13/18
Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
I went into this race half believing I could push through the heat -- after all, my last two long distance races had been even warmer -- and half believing it wouldn't be my day. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know it was the latter. Many have assured me of the fact … Continue reading Ocean City Half Marathon Race Recap 9/30/18
Soaking up that sea air: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2018
Anyone that follows me knows last weekend didn't go as planned, other than soaking up some sunshine (way too much sunshine, actually) and basking in the sea air by the Ocean. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . . . I … Continue reading Soaking up that sea air: Spilling over tea/coffee October 2018
September 2018: Did I pass?
September found me resting from the 1812 Challenge (read about it here), very briefly, then training hard for my next half, which is this weekend. And we traveled to NYC to celebrate Mr. Judy's birthday the week before my half, which included fasting for Yom Kippur, so it was a whirlwind of a month. I … Continue reading September 2018: Did I pass?
Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
When did I first start running in a skirt? I have to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I know I didn't run my first two 5ks in a skirt. Or my first two halfs, for that matter. I believe the first half I ran in a skirt was the Runner's World Half in 2014. … Continue reading Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
I won't lie: I spent much of the summer kicking myself for not running this race last summer. Last summer was so much cooler. And race day last summer? I happen to remember it because it was the trail running festival where I did the 5k and then volunteered -- it was a gorgeous, cool … Continue reading 1812 Challenge Race Recap 8/26/18
Bouncing Back: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2018
I had this post completely written and scheduled before my race last weekend. Except I scheduled it for Friday the 7th, totally missing the fact that last Saturday was actually the first Saturday of the month. So I'll be a little late to our coffee/tea date . . . Pull up chair and mug … Continue reading Bouncing Back: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2018
