Lately it's been cool and cloudy most mornings, with the sun eventually breaking through and warming things up. Generally the second I start to run! Except for this weekend. Cool and rainy this weekend. All the lawns, trees, and flowers are looking pretty good because they're getting water -- naturally -- on a regular basis. … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine: 5/14 – 20 Weekly Wrap

Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
It's been sadly lacking this week. I got my workouts done, and other stuff, too, but I spent more time just sitting at the computer not being productive than normal. Of course I get to blame the weather -- once again, it was crazy! On Monday I was wearing a beanie and Skirt Sports Wonder … Continue reading Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
Cherry Blossom 5k Race Recap 4/29/18
My original plan for this year was to actually train for a 5k for a change. Outside of my first (and my slowest), I've never specifically trained for one -- I just run one every now and again. Well, being sick on and off for January and February and some of March, too -- that … Continue reading Cherry Blossom 5k Race Recap 4/29/18
Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
We got a couple of Spring-like days and then we descended back into gray skies, chilly temps, and rain. Well, it's almost May so it's time for those April Showers to get lost -- don't you think? There was a lot of synchronicity going on this week, too: meeting the DJ from the station I … Continue reading Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap
I know, I know, it's Spring. Tell that to MN. This week was so incredibly foul weather-wise until the weekend -- endless gray, pouring cold rain on Monday, and I felt kind of meh for much of the week. I'm blaming the lack of sunshine (and yes, I take a Vitamin D supplement). I'm joining … Continue reading Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap
Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
This race keeps getting later and later in the year, and yet the weather doesn't seem to improve. Two years ago, the last time I ran this 5 mile race, it was the beginning of April and it snowed. Our forecast was for an ice storm the night before -- but for once, thankfully, the … Continue reading Delmar Dash Race Recap 4/15/18
First Race 2018: 4/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
As I was gearing up for my first race of 2018 my body was rebelling a bit with some unexpected tiredness. Or maybe it was just the weather? Not to mention the forecast for the race today was giving us all fits -- ice! I kid you not. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from … Continue reading First Race 2018: 4/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
Mother Nature Won’t Let Up: 4/2 – 8 Weekly Wrap
I try not to complain about weather too much. Let's face it, no matter where you live, weather is a challenge. Our first week of April went like this: Snow, rain, rain, very cold and windy, snow changing to rain changing back to snow, very cold and windy, snow showers & cold. Did I mention … Continue reading Mother Nature Won’t Let Up: 4/2 – 8 Weekly Wrap
Happy Knees, Happy Life: 3/26- 4/1 Weekly Wrap
Welcome to my last relatively easy week. It's time for the training to begin! My goal races may be months and months away, but I'm the type of runner who really needs to train properly -- or it hurts. And I don't think it's fun if it hurts. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from … Continue reading Happy Knees, Happy Life: 3/26- 4/1 Weekly Wrap
