I'm working on upping my cross training game I took it mostly easy this week with running because despite my 5k, it was a low mileage week and I didn't want to bump it up too quickly when I'm not really training for anything yet. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading X marks the spot: 6/6-12 Weekly Wrap
5 Ways to Enjoy Oatmeal
Mr. Judy used to think he didn't like oatmeal. Until I introduced him to the ways I eat oatmeal. I'm not sure he's really a fan, but he eats what I give him without complaint. Occasionally we have actual oatmeal, but more often oatmeal appears in different forms in our house. I might actually have … Continue reading 5 Ways to Enjoy Oatmeal
So what IS a healthy lifestyle?: TOLT
After my little "episode" with my Freihofers chocolate chip cookies (you can read more about it here), I'm Thinking Out Loud about healthy lifestyles, all or nothing thinking, and balance. A healthy lifestyle How people love to hate the phrase above. And I am not sure I have yet achieved a healthy lifestyle, despite Mr. Judy once wondering … Continue reading So what IS a healthy lifestyle?: TOLT
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
Or is it? When I started looking at quotes for today's Wednesday Word, consistent, that particular quote popped into my mind. I'll bet I'm not the only blogger who thought of it. But where did the quote come from? Obviously I am not well read enough, because, as it turns out, it's actually a misquote from … Continue reading Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
It's a 5k -- that means the recap ought to be short, right? Wrong! So wrong! So here's the short story: always a fun race that starts too late on a hot day (usually); plenty of water, thank goodness; and while no PR, it was a PB (personal best) for me, for this race. Read … Continue reading Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
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
Women’s Races: Spilling over high tea June 2016
Today is the large women's 5k in our city. It's a big deal around here, with prize money and elites, even though I'd tell you that the expo sadly gets smaller and smaller every year. I get a kick out of my more casual runner friends who train diligently for months for this race, and … Continue reading Women’s Races: Spilling over high tea June 2016
The long and winding road of CRJ: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about what I've learned, what I've gained, and some of the highlights of my first year blogging as Chocolaterunsjudy. Actually it's 364 days . . . tomorrow is my blogoversary. I'm going to run down a few stats from the blog, why I blog, and what I hope to do with the blog going … Continue reading The long and winding road of CRJ: TOLT
Empower: To give power to someone
Most of my blogger friends are women. I firmly believe that it is better to build someone up than to tear them down. Women can be catty, snarky, body shaming; the list goes on and on. Yet women can also lift other women up by sharing their knowledge and helping to empower one another, today's … Continue reading Empower: To give power to someone
Genie, May I?
That's the question this week's Tuesdays on the Run linkup asks. What would you ask for if you rubbed one of your race medals and a Genie popped out and granted you three wishes? That thought just popped into my mind last Tuesday and I decided to run with it. I love those people who are … Continue reading Genie, May I?
