. . . about the weather, that is. Except the lack of sun, but hey, it's the northeast and you better get used to that cause it could snow in a month. Or sooner. Seriously. I spent a lot of my week acting like an ostrich, not wanting to call or email my sister for … Continue reading Time to stop complaining . . .: 9/26-10/2 Weekly Wrap

RnR Cape Cod: 9/19-25 Weekly Wrap
No, Rock n Roll is not starting a race in Cape Cod, but don't you think they ought to? I could probably sweet talk Mr. Judy into that. Maybe. Although I told him he likes the idea of the Cape, not so much the reality (driving there is not fun). We needed some time away. … Continue reading RnR Cape Cod: 9/19-25 Weekly Wrap
Aging isn’t for sissies: 9/12-18 Weekly Wrap
Another very, very hard weekend with my parents -- although just the weekend this time, I actually did get to stay home last week and am back home right now. For those that don't read the blog regularly, my parents are basically in their 90s, my mom is recovering from surgery and the recovery has … Continue reading Aging isn’t for sissies: 9/12-18 Weekly Wrap
Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
I made my escape from my parents last weekend, went back early Monday with the intention of leaving Wednesday morning after taking my mom to her doctor's appointment on Tuesday -- an aid came to work on Tuesday and although she's an aid for the house and not a nurse, and doesn't drive as we were … Continue reading Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
Last week I wrote that I thought things were looking up -- how wrong I was (as I got into a bit yesterday). I did my best to stay a little active while I was away -- it wasn't easy; the only thing that helped was that my parents don't get moving very fast in … Continue reading Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
The heat is on: 8/22-28 Weekly Wrap
A few cool mornings in the beginning of the week, but then the heat and humidity returned. Friday was really unbearable; luckily my first double digit run of this training cycle was Saturday. Find out how it all went down below. I think maybe things are looking up, even so, and I'm wrapping it up with the … Continue reading The heat is on: 8/22-28 Weekly Wrap
Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
I still spent a lot of time on the couch this week, but I returned to the land of the living with some dogwalks, a few runs, and just a tiny bit of strength training. By the end of the week, despite moving more, I no longer felt so worn out. Until Bandit had diarrhea … Continue reading Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Mr. Judy has some nasty allergy/cold thing going on (turned out to be the office virus). I had a slightly scratchy throat Sunday night, and laid there wondering if I should take an extra rest day. I didn't, and I had a great run on Monday. And that was the only run I had all … Continue reading To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Another week, more frustrations, but overall, not a bad week and I'm not even going to rehash the frustrating stuff -- I whined enough yesterday over tea -- except for Tuesday's run -- that was majorly frustrating and most of you are runners and that's why you're here. It's kind of a long one, so grab a cookie or two … Continue reading Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Mountain climbers & Burpees: 7/25-31 Weekly Wrap
I am not gonna lie -- it was a frustrating week. Including Bandit, who up until Friday I would have said was completely house trained, deciding to have an accident in our kitchen for no known reason, as he'd been out twice and done his business both times. I worried about a bladder infection, but … Continue reading Mountain climbers & Burpees: 7/25-31 Weekly Wrap
