Rachel @ Runningonhappy had nothing on my schedule this week. Only I'd decided before the 1812 Challenge that if I finished feeling good, I'd be signing up for another half at the end of September. You'll have to read on to find out which one. 😉 I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap

Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
It's always a busy week before a race, but driving instead of flying means that I have more wiggle room with when we leave (although the pet sitters really do like a time!). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wish the Weekly Wrap Happy … Continue reading Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Here be dragons
Before you could see pretty much anywhere on earth via Google maps -- way before -- map makers would write "here be dragons" for unexplored lands/seas. I've always loved that phrase! How far can you go? For many years I've wondered what lies beyond 13.1 miles (or maybe 14.1, because sometimes I do a warm … Continue reading Here be dragons
Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Weather stalking. Cross training. Lots of baking -- I needed to restock the pantry! Humidity. All easy runs that never feel easy due to the weather. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home as I'm winding down (or is that up?) for my first race past … Continue reading Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
It was a miserable week when it came to running. Although the heat wave broke mid week, the humidity didn't -- not until my 10k on Saturday. Then we were blessed with temps we haven't seen in weeks and cloudy skies. It was also a week filled with friendly getogethers, family, and maybe a bit … Continue reading Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
I don’t want to be in the 1%: 7/30 – 8/5 Weekly Wrap
It seems that every blogger who's ever run a marathon -- and some local friends -- have made the comment that with my mileage and long runs lately I might as well just do a marathon. No, just no! I really do not want to. I had all kinds of respect for marathoners to begin … Continue reading I don’t want to be in the 1%: 7/30 – 8/5 Weekly Wrap
Home sweet home: 7/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap

Workouts update Monday: 5 miles easy Tuesday: Travel home Wednesday: 6 TM miles Thursday: 3 miles easy Friday: Rest … Continue reading Home sweet home: 7/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
But it’s a dry heat: 7/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap

I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share how race week went. Congrats to e everyone who slogged through RnR Chicago! … Continue reading But it’s a dry heat: 7/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap
Do you race wisely?
Let's face it: there are times when all the stars align and training goes well and you have a fabulous race. And then there are the times it wasn't a good idea to even start training -- and if you stopped to think about it, you knew it. How did your race go then? Thought … Continue reading Do you race wisely?
Packing it Up: 7/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
And taking it on the road. Most of this week was spent getting ready for our upcoming trip. It was its usual slog. And why did my dentist appointment have to fall a couple of days before we left? How about the moment I was afraid I'd lost my license (I didn't)? I'm joining up … Continue reading Packing it Up: 7/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
