I had company for almost every run this week, although there was a lot of confusion -- mostly on my part. Did you see my runfessions about senior moments? You can read it here. For the first time I "raced" the day after my long run (and I use that term very loosely). I'm joining … Continue reading Still challenging myself: 8/21-27 Weekly Wrap

Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
There was a lot of solo running this week, including my first double digit run in a while. Next week looks to be much more sociable. I hope the forecast is right -- there's a trail festival on Sunday and I'm hoping to do the 5k as a recovery run. Right now the forecast looks … Continue reading Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Potty talk: 8/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Apparently skipping a run last week did me a world of good -- my first instinct was to make it up later that week, but I decided not to, and it was definitely the right decision. This week I was able to get in all my runs, add strength training back in, and so far, … Continue reading Potty talk: 8/7-13 Weekly Wrap
I love a conversion!: 7/31-8/6 Weekly Wrap
I was still feeling run down this week. In fact, more so than last week. Not actively sick, mind you, but like I could go over my tipping point if I don't take it easy. So I did. I even skipped a run. And missed some speed work. And abandoned Pahla B for the week. … Continue reading I love a conversion!: 7/31-8/6 Weekly Wrap
No Trails for you!: 7/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Running went well enough this week. No swimming, unfortunately, because I felt super run down on Monday and ended up taking an extra rest day (which did the trick) and I just wasn't able to squeeze it in later in the week. It was a cool, rainy week. Until today -- a beautiful summer day … Continue reading No Trails for you!: 7/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Fig Bars vs S’mores: 7/17-23 Weekly Wrap
I'm still enjoying lower mileage and mostly easy runs. I've been getting in some cross training, and keeping up with my strength training so far. The one thing I'm not enjoying -- and I think most of us aren't -- is the ever-present humidity. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia … Continue reading Fig Bars vs S’mores: 7/17-23 Weekly Wrap
BBQ vs Grilling: 7/10-16 Weekly Wrap
It's been a quiet month but I'm digging it. My body is also enjoying the fact that right now there's only one semi-hard run per week . . . I'm sure that won't last long. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin and a guest host for the Weekly Wrap … Continue reading BBQ vs Grilling: 7/10-16 Weekly Wrap
Skirting Around: 7/3-9 Weekly Wrap
A quiet fourth, a fun race with friends, and more "hiking" on an easy trail. Despite more rain and humidity, the week ended on a high note with a beautiful day today. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin and a guest host for the Weekly Wrap to share how … Continue reading Skirting Around: 7/3-9 Weekly Wrap
The turning point: 6/5-26- 7/2 Weekly Wrap
I got in my runs, despite it being a real steambath on Saturday. And I got the family out for a short hike at one of the major battlefields of the American Revolution -- just half an hour or so from our home. It seemed like the thing to do this holiday weekend. The title, … Continue reading The turning point: 6/5-26- 7/2 Weekly Wrap
What the doctor ordered: 6/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
No, I am not sick (knock on wood). But it was another nice, uneventful week and I continue to ease back into a more normal routine. A swim, some runs, a little strength training, a little Pilates, and even a hike. Because I haven't been doing much strength training and also working on reigning in … Continue reading What the doctor ordered: 6/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
