This will be an interesting week with running. It's gonna be hot and humid and I'm sure my heart rate will skyrocket! Or will it? Does it even matter? Maybe it doesn't; some of my research said it really doesn't. I just like to understand things. I have a curious mind. Definitely still no expert, … Continue reading Why Your Heart Rate Varies
The highs and lows of running: 7/4 – 10 WRD
Highs and lows is a bit of a wordplay on my runs this week, playing with heart rate -- which has been high and low on the run, indeed. Four runs baby! I finally made it to the elusive 15 miles per week, too, LOL! Next week will be a cut back week, I think, … Continue reading The highs and lows of running: 7/4 – 10 WRD
Make Running Fun Again
There are runners that love Summer running. That's not me. I am highly suspicious of anyone that actually loves to run in heat & humidity -- joking (sort of). If you're with me and humidity can feel soul sucking, I want to share ways to at least make it more bearable -- if not actually … Continue reading Make Running Fun Again
Explorer: 6/27 – 7/3 WRD
A week at home felt good. Tomorrow I will spend the holiday with my mom, but just the day and will have Mr. Judy on hand to help with the driving. It was a good week for a little local exploring!

It’s a Wild Life, Baby!: Tea/coffee Date July 2022
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing a lot about the wildlife in our area recently. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you about the Merlin App. It's so cool! You can record birds in your area, and it will show you what type of bird it is. After the first time it finds … Continue reading It’s a Wild Life, Baby!: Tea/coffee Date July 2022
Compassion: June 2022
There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. -- John Holmes Compassion continues to be a struggle. So I picked a great word for me, right? It's not that I'm not compassionate, just that I'm human. How did June go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsRunning continued to … Continue reading Compassion: June 2022
No Place like Home: 6/20 – 26 WRD
After about 3 days at my moms, not gonna lie: I was dragging this week. Everyone needs a little downtime sometimes. So far this Summer has been much less wet than last Summer (I know, it's early days!) and I've really enjoyed my reading outside in the backyard -- and being able to film in … Continue reading No Place like Home: 6/20 – 26 WRD
Multitasking doesn’t pay off: Runfessions June 2022
I runfess . . .As tempting as it is to leave the foam rolling until after practicing Yoga in the morning, I have learned my lesson and know that I have to do it before -- or it just won't get done. I runfess . . .I mentioned last week that my Garmin has been … Continue reading Multitasking doesn’t pay off: Runfessions June 2022
Good Karma 5k Race Recap
How could you not want to run a race called Good Karma? Add to that that it's at a park that's quite close to me that I know very well. It's a good cause, too -- from the Website: All net proceeds from the Good Karma 5K Run/Walk will benefit AIM for Seva and the Regional … Continue reading Good Karma 5k Race Recap
The Need for Speed: 6/13 – 19 WRD
Another busy week, but some fun things in there. A movie -- I think you might be able to guess which one if you like movies, although it's a nod to the original; a race, and pierogis! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and giving thanks for unseasonably cool weather on race … Continue reading The Need for Speed: 6/13 – 19 WRD
