I wrapped up my Peloton 5k Training with the virtual Champion for the Chesapeake 5k (folded into my longish run this week). Unfortunately a week of bad news. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing "race" week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk, Yoga (20 min) Tuesday: Yoga (40 … Continue reading Goodbyes are hard: 11/16 – 22 WRD
Weekly Run Down
Sunrise, Sunset: 11/9 – 15 WRD
As I go over in my favs of this week, there were amazing sunsets this week -- and some beautiful Monet-like sunrises, too. No, I'm not outside to see them, although I'm beginning to think maybe I need to grab the patio heater to watch the next one. It was another week with minimal movement. … Continue reading Sunrise, Sunset: 11/9 – 15 WRD
New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
I won't lie: life is much easier without Lola. The sadness lingers, though, of course, and I'd trade the easiness for more time with her, but it is what it is. Is was the right decision. My heart has been heavy much of this week, but we laugh, too, because life truly does go on. … Continue reading New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
It was a long, long week. Physically and emotionally draining. Lola improved, just slightly, then she got worse. The runs were short, although that doesn't always mean they were easy. Even last night, this wasn't the post I thought I'd be writing, but Lola went to her final sleep in my arms last night (at … Continue reading RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
This week didn't start off as I planned, but it was pretty good -- until the weekend. Then things went rapidly downhill. I had targeted a park that was a little further away than we usually go for our anniversary roadtrip. I'd been there, once, and I thought Mr. Judy might enjoy it, too. We … Continue reading Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Yes, there is some running to report this week! Nothing wild, just a few short runs. Still lots of Yoga and walking. Less walking, though, because . . . running. My running miles basically replaced my extra walking miles from the previous week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and reporting on easing … Continue reading Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Not running actually frees up some of my time. Yes, I'm walking more, but that doesn't take as much pre- and post-routines (for me). Of course I could explore by running in the places I'm walking, but one problem I have is that I get so sweaty running that I can be uncomfortable post run … Continue reading Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
Nothing very exciting going on this week. No running to report (planned for break). Although I actually did get in more miles walking than I normally would with running, due to the Run for Ruth distance challenge. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running/walking my virtual Dempsey Challenge races. Workouts update Monday: Yoga … Continue reading Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
Leaves are a’popping: 9/21 – 26 WRD
After our cold snap last week, trees are popping out in color all over the place. Way too early, but there's something about the changing leaves . . . even if I never missed that the 17 years we lived in TX! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running/walking my virtual Dempsey … Continue reading Leaves are a’popping: 9/21 – 26 WRD
Zooming into the New Year: 9/14 – 20 WRD
Another busy week with an unplanned visit to my mom -- nothing new there, I just hadn't been planning on visiting this week. Mainly because I was deep into prep for Mr. Judy's 60th birthday. It worked out well, though, because we had a family Zoom call on Friday (for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New … Continue reading Zooming into the New Year: 9/14 – 20 WRD
