It was a week of highs and lows, races and easy running, and mad decluttering in the house. I'm joining up with Holly of Hoho Runs and Tricia of Misssippipiddlin to recap last week. I'm a bit behind on comments right now, as I'm a bit busier than normal carting Chester around to vets, medicating him, refilling his water … Continue reading Pushing to enjoy: 11/2-8 Weekly Wrap

Fall Decluttering — it’s a thing!: 10/26-11/1 Weekly Wrap
There were some really beautiful fall days this week. Except I didn't run on them. Well, Friday wasn't bad (except when it clouded up towards the end and I had more cold drizzle). The weather on Wednesday really sucked, but I still got out there. And I attacked a lot of areas in my kitchen/dining … Continue reading Fall Decluttering — it’s a thing!: 10/26-11/1 Weekly Wrap
Pitiful Strength Training, Good Running & Doggie Hospice: 10/19-10/25 Weekly Wrap
Another tough week. Probably going to be a lot of them in the next couple of weeks. I swear I'm going to try and remember to be in the moment more, and dwell less on what will happen.

A Sad Farewell to Group Running — or is it?: 9/28-10/4 Weekly Wrap
Since May I have been running with my USAFit Albany group most weekends, and sometimes for hill work and track work. This week that came to an end. Most likely it's the last time Darlene, from My First 5k & More, and I will get together to run at night, too. Today I'm linking up with Holly from HohoRuns and Tricia … Continue reading A Sad Farewell to Group Running — or is it?: 9/28-10/4 Weekly Wrap
Spotlight on testing my limits & racing: 9/21-27 Weekly Wrap
It has been a long time since I raced. Since July 4th, specifically. I wanted a sleeping IT Band for my upcoming half next month (2 weeks!). And that meant weeks of not running as much, weeks of taping, giving up a planned race/mini racecation. This week, however, it was time to test myself with … Continue reading Spotlight on testing my limits & racing: 9/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Too good to be true? Or hard work payoff? 9/14-20 Weekly Wrap
I did sleep better for most of this week, except for one night when I woke up at 3 am and just couldn't get back to sleep. We've been taking the dogs for a short walk in the evening, and even though they're really not terribly enthusiastic about it -- it got warmer again, although … Continue reading Too good to be true?

Spotlight on Maintaining My Base: 9/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Another week with not enough sleep. Chester continues to wake me up in the middle of the night to go out. I'm hoping with cooler evenings this week I can get him out for a second walk and maybe he'll let me get some sleep. This week was mostly easy runs, with one tempo run … Continue reading Spotlight on Maintaining My Base: 9/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Strong September Start: 9/1-6 Weekly Wrap
This week was looooong, but the running was good. Despite being completely and utterly exhausted Saturday due to two nights of really bad sleep. Luckily I'm a morning person, so even after sleeping badly I'm usually okay the next morning. But by saturday evening I could barely move -- not from my run, I felt … Continue reading Strong September Start: 9/1-6 Weekly Wrap
