It may say coffee date, but I don't drink coffee. Just tea. But I am joining up with Coco, Deborah, and Lynda for their ultimate coffee date anyway. If we were enjoying high tea . . . I'd tell you that everyday it seems like something else aches. Well, almost every day. Some days I wake up and nothing … Continue reading Spilling over high tea:
Friday Food Porn #9: Do I need a plaintain intervention?
I keep getting lost in the #purelytwins site. These women are just geniuses in the kitchen. And try out their workouts, too! I might just need a plaintain intervention right now and I'm nowhere near done with the plaintain recipes I want to try. I teased on instagram today (@chocolaterunsjudy) with the start of the … Continue reading Friday Food Porn #9: Do I need a plaintain intervention?
Fall in love with racing
I was a bit stumped when I saw that 5 Fall Races was the theme for the Friday Five linkup this week from Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, and Mar from Mar on the Run. What possible interest would other bloggers have in my local races? And the one local blogger … Continue reading Fall in love with racing
Be your own coach
Several years ago I attended a seminar on preventing injuries. Big surprise, right? I think the biggest thing that stuck with me was when the presenter said "be your own coach". I know many runners who swear by their coaches. Although I've never hired a coach, I have thought about it and I have had … Continue reading Be your own coach
Accountability, People Pleasers & Getting it Done
Accountability breeds response-ability. -- Stephen Covey Here's what accountability mean to me: you say you're going to do something. You tell someone. And because you've told someone, you feel you must go through with it -- and you get it done. There are many reasons I love to run in groups. And one of those reasons … Continue reading Accountability, People Pleasers & Getting it Done
Who’s afraid of the big, bad, long run?
I started to write a post about hydration, since that's the suggested topic for this week's Tuesdays on the Run, but I have to admit the subject didn't really grab me and really, what could I add that the 20 or more other bloggers won't already throw out there? So I took a cue from some … Continue reading Who’s afraid of the big, bad, long run?

Friday Food Porn #8: Cool waffle recipes
There wasn't a whole lot of cooking/baking going on this week. Getting into the heaviest part of my HM training and a trip to my folks to continue help decluttering their house took a lot out of me. But in the end, I put my waffle iron to good use. Blue headings = links, by the … Continue reading Friday Food Porn #8: Cool waffle recipes
How I spent my summer vacation
5 things I did this summer. That's what the Friday Five crew, Cynthia from You Signed Up for What?, Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, and Mar from Mar on the Run, had for a subject today. Except we seriously didn't do anything this summer. Well, nothing super fun anyway. Just the same old, same old, for the most … Continue reading How I spent my summer vacation
Who are you and what did you do with Judy?
Do you ever stop and think about just who you have become? Last Thursday at the track made me do just that. When I started running I spent almost a year on the treadmill because I was too afraid the running police would pull me over or laugh at me for not being a "real" … Continue reading Who are you and what did you do with Judy?
