In some ways, this week was a repeat of last week: nothing particularly exciting going on, another trip to my parents -- which I thought would be the last one, except it took much longer than I expected and I think there's more left to do than my sister realizes. Still a bit back and … Continue reading Burning up the trails: 4/3- 9 Weekly Wrap

Best Damn Race New Orleans Half Marathon Race Recap 3/26/17
Another half, another inaugural race. Just call me a trailblazer. Packet Pickup I give BDR kudos for being able to switch packet picket on such short notice-- and communicate it to the racers -- it was the right call. It was supposed to be at Louis Armstrong park, where the race began and ended. But … Continue reading Best Damn Race New Orleans Half Marathon Race Recap 3/26/17
Recovery Week: 3/27- 4/2 Weekly Wrap
Occasionally I just get mild flu-like symptoms. They used to be tied to my cycle, but I no longer have a cycle (but still am not post menopausal). Maybe by the end of the year. So I came home, and yup, there they were: slight muscle aches, slight temp, fatigue. Even though there were a few … Continue reading Recovery Week: 3/27- 4/2 Weekly Wrap
Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Lucky 13? Racecations are both terribly exciting and a little bit crazy, what with all the work that goes into the front end. For some reason this time I found myself oddly calm. Was it all the meditating? Getting so used to "traveling" every week? Getting really organized because of my extra "travel"? No idea, … Continue reading Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
You'll notice, probably, that there wasn't as much activity as normal. Not a lot of dog walking. Not much cross training. Not as much strength work. Yes, a lot of that was due to the blizzard, because when I wasn't running on the treadmill, I was shoveling. Maybe Stella came along at a good time … Continue reading Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Indeed Well, March is certainly marching in with plenty of wind (apparently there isn't much truth to the whole in like a lion, out like a lamb rhyme, according to this article from farmer's almanac). If my half is windy, I'll be well prepared. What I won't be prepared for is the heat. Because snow … Continue reading Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
What goes around . . .: 2/28-3/5 Weekly Wrap
. . . Comes around I'll get to the title in the Favorites of the Week. Nothing super exciting about this week, again, other than the fact that I survived the workouts Rachel @ Runningonhappy cooked up for me and had a real confidence building long run. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading What goes around . . .: 2/28-3/5 Weekly Wrap
Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap
Read the title anyway you wish: I'm thankful we got some sunshine and warm temps, or I'm sad that the sunshine (and warm temps) are gone just in time for my long run. Both are true! Nothing super exciting about this week. Good runs, challenging runs, a run with Bandit. The snow finally melted, so … Continue reading Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap
Zzzzz: 2/6-19 Weekly Wrap
This week was still long, still tiring, but minus the snow shoveling, not nearly as bad as the previous week. And I had a nice birthday (more on that in my weekly favorites). The best part? I slept a whole lot better than I have in a long, long time. And I really needed that. … Continue reading Zzzzz: 2/6-19 Weekly Wrap
Devoloping Character: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
So last week I wrote about how we're not buried in many inches of snow. All you people who kept bemoaning our lack of snow -- can I please have it all directed at you? Cause it changed for us big time this week, with no end in sight. It's February, though, and it's pretty … Continue reading Devoloping Character: 1/30-2/5 Weekly Wrap
