Last year, quite frankly, we were not sure my Dad would make it to 89. Last Friday he celebrated his 90th birthday. My parents were the babies of their families by quite a few years; I am the baby of mine, also by quite a few years. The upside to that is that I come … Continue reading Celebrating the Big 9-0: 3/21-27 Weekly Wrap

Running 9 miles allows me to eat anything?: 3/14-20 Weekly Wrap
NOT!!! It was a fairly quiet week. I wasn't feeling well, but I got in all my runs. Just easy runs, recovery after last week's race. No hill repeats, no speedwork, unless you call a few miles at race pace during my long run speedwork. Don't forget to let us know how your week went … Continue reading Running 9 miles allows me to eat anything?: 3/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Celebrating Life: 3/7-13 Weekly Wrap
My Skirtsports order finally showed up Thursday, and I was able to test out an outfit I thought I might wear for my race Sunday (remember use code CRJ20 for 20% off your regularly priced items).

Definitely team cupcake: 2/29-3/6 Weekly Wrap
Mostly it was a quiet week, but I was able to run outside for all my runs -- been a while since I've done that.

My body is just a running tendinitis: 2/15-21 Weekly Wrap
This past weekend was the polar opposite of the previous weekend, no polar vortex in sight. Yes, I went there. Why couldn't my birthday be 60F? Oh my, Saturday was such a lovely day. And so tempting to run, but it was a rest day, and right now my ankle needs some TLC. Don't forget … Continue reading My body is just a running tendinitis: 2/15-21 Weekly Wrap
Runners need pampering, too: 2/8-14 Weekly Wrap
It was a week of good running, lots of yoga, lots of good eats, and not enough strength training. And some much needed pampering. And lots of peanut butter (well, almond butter, really) and chocolate.

Listening to your body does a body good: 2/1-7 Weekly Wrap
This past week did not start off well. Slight temp, muscle aches, I wanted to keep running according to my schedule but I knew rest was better for me so I took a couple of extra days off of running and exercise in general, other than yoga and walking. I was rewarded for listening to … Continue reading Listening to your body does a body good: 2/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I love you, Old Faithful, but let’s not see so much of each other!: 1/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Hello February! February tends to have the worst weather of the winter and I should know -- my birthday falls in it. As my mom likes to remind me, she almost didn't make it to the hospital because of a snowstorm and I was almost born in the car. Almost. Although at least the first … Continue reading I love you, Old Faithful, but let’s not see so much of each other!: 1/25-31 Weekly Wrap
A cold, productive week: 1/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Snowmaggedon 2016 missed us completely -- this time. But the cold air and wind didn't. I hunkered down at home and spent Monday through Wednesday inside the house in joggers or leggings (except for getting that pesky mail and putting out the trash). I got back on my #yogastreak. Poor Lola didn't get walked much … Continue reading A cold, productive week: 1/18-24 Weekly Wrap
