Dodge the Deer 5k Race Recap 6/23/19

June 25, 2019June 24, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

I have only run three trail races. My first was a half marathon -- go big or go home, right? Dodge the Deer, a very family-oriented day  out at a local park with our local running group, Albany Running Exchange, includes a couple of kiddy races and a trail 5k and has been on my … Continue reading Dodge the Deer 5k Race Recap 6/23/19

Freihofer’s Run for Women 5k Race Recap 6/1/19

June 11, 2019June 12, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 38 Comments

The main thing you have to know about Freihofer's Run for Women: the atmosphere is just amazing. Think any race you've ever started in and take it up a few notches. It's why we come back, year after year, despite the heat, the narrow streets, the never ending hill at the start, and the crowded … Continue reading Freihofer’s Run for Women 5k Race Recap 6/1/19

Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/7/19

April 9, 2019April 8, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

I'm not sure what it is about the Delmar Dash that always brings snow with it. The date seems to be always changing -- it used to be in March, and I know some of my slower times were due to snow and ice on the road. Thankfully there was no snow on the ground … Continue reading Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/7/19

“Powering” Through: 2/25-3/3 WRD

March 3, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

Without a goal race on the calendar and bitter cold and snow and wind, I can't say I'm super motivated to run. I want to maintain my base, so after a short runbbatical, it was time to lace up . . . a little. I've been active in other ways. On Monday we lost power … Continue reading “Powering” Through: 2/25-3/3 WRD

R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap

February 24, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 35 Comments

In some ways it seems kind of pointless to join up with the Weekly Wrap, because there wasn't a lot of movement this week. But that's just the point: sometimes recovery looks like being lazy, but recovery is important -- and I don't have anything on my schedule right now, either. Perfect timing. I'm joining … Continue reading R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap

State #20, Half #23 (I think?): 2/11-17 Weekly Wrap

February 17, 2019February 17, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

Training Week 10: Best Damn Race Savannah HalfI honestly don't know quite where I am with the states -- or halfs! I seriously need to update my "Races" page. It might be state #19 . . I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home and wrapping up … Continue reading State #20, Half #23 (I think?): 2/11-17 Weekly Wrap

The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap

February 10, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 38 Comments

Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him. When you're in caretaking mode, you don't realize just how much time that caretaking consumes. I didn't really think that he was that … Continue reading The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap

Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap

February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

Training Week 8: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Normally running is my go-to for stress; it has gotten me through many difficult times in my life the last 10 years. I did not want to run this week after we put Giz to sleep, although I did my runs and have kept as active as … Continue reading Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap

Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap

January 27, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Snow. Check. Ice. Check. Extreme cold. Check. Pouring rain. Check. Mother Nature sure threw a lot at us this week, but I did my best to keep on keeping on. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to … Continue reading Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap

Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap

January 20, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 40 Comments

Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Alas I think that was our last week with no snow on the paths -- mostly, anyway, as I ran through just a little snow on Friday (yup, we got caught in the big snowstorm today). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll warm up and melt the … Continue reading Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
