The week started off rough, meeting with the trainer and Gizmo's sudden "illness" (read about it here), but ended on a high note when we finally got to have a rescue evaluate Bandit.

What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Doesn't everyone adopt a new dog the night before a race? Well, we don't know if we've really adopted him. If we don't think it's a match, I guess we'll be fostering. But much to my surprise we have two dogs again at the moment. And oh yeah, I ran four times this week. I'm … Continue reading What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap

Sometimes it’s ok to go overboard: 5/30-6/5 Weekly Wrap
It was another week of minimal movement. Our trip left me feeling on the verge of coming down with something -- I was pretty sure I just needed some rest, though, and I'm happy to say my diagnosis was correct. But I did run a 5k. I'm keeping mum on how it went because the recap … Continue reading Sometimes it’s ok to go overboard: 5/30-6/5 Weekly Wrap

Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon Race Recap 5/14/16
Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon could have easily been a PR, given the right conditions -- it's the flattest race I've run in the northeast. By far! Although my friend Trudy and I were arguing about that on Saturday -- she thought it was hilly; Mr. Judy heard other runners saying it was hilly. What … Continue reading Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon Race Recap 5/14/16
