It was a week. Not a terrible week, but it was just super hard to juggle everything this week and running took a hit. Didn't run on Monday due to Yom Kippur. Had plans to run on Thursday, but darn Full Moon gets me every time -- I knew it wasn't in my best interest … Continue reading Live to run another day: 9/25 – 10/1 WRD
They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023
The mosquitoes, that is. I'd stopped burning incense, kept filming videos, and everything seemed fine. Until I got nailed again. I suppose it's better than a couple of feet of snow! I runfess . . .I am so happy I'm not sporting mosquito bites every time I step outside anymore (obviously written right before I … Continue reading They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023
Just Another Rainy Monday: 9/18- 24 WRD
I spent time working on this post yesterday, I really did. Because tomorrow is Yom Kippur and I want to be off the computer. Sometimes I hate WordPress, I really do -- because it completely stripped out everything I did yesterday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and running through rainy Mondays. … Continue reading Just Another Rainy Monday: 9/18- 24 WRD
Happy New Year: 9/11 – 17 WRD
We're not really very observant, but I made chicken, bought a Challah, and made some baked apples to usher in a sweet new year. I have no delusions that 2024 will be a wonderful year, but we did have a potential fun trip dangled out to us for a destination wedding potentially. It's a long … Continue reading Happy New Year: 9/11 – 17 WRD
It was an Oven: 9/4 – 10 WRD
It was a stressful week with a couple of appointments for Bandit and a visit to my mom, but it ended on a high note for Bandit. The 4 day heatwave wasn't fun, but we made it through. I don't want my Summer back, but Fall is definitely welcome! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading It was an Oven: 9/4 – 10 WRD
Blue Moon Bringing me down?: 8/28 – 9/3 WRD
I actually wanted to do my long run on Wednesday, which would have been a pretty good day for it -- except for the morning thunderstorms. I just keep telling myself I'm not training for anything . . . Then I wanted to do a recovery run after my long run. Sure, I could've done … Continue reading Blue Moon Bringing me down?: 8/28 – 9/3 WRD
Thoughts from a run: Tea/coffee Date September 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing thoughts from one August run, and a Bandit update. This was the photo from 2022. No mosquitoes lurking then. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell I set out on a run on a beautiful day in August, stopping to take a photo before the run. Turns out … Continue reading Thoughts from a run: Tea/coffee Date September 2023
Buzzing with Sunshine: 8/21 – 27 WRD
It wasn't sunny all week long -- of course there was some rain! -- but sunflowers will cheer up anybody. A fun day with a friend, short and sweet running, and strength. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and taking it easy this week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), 3 miles with … Continue reading Buzzing with Sunshine: 8/21 – 27 WRD
I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Of mosquitoes. So why am I so tasty to mosquitoes? This article here made for interesting reading. I'm a heavy sweater -- it seems to be almost the only criteria I really fit. Except that, like many runners, I do enjoy a banana sometimes. I wish there was a way to avoid being bitten without … Continue reading I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
It was a busy week (for me, for some this would be all in a day!). We saw Mission Impossible and I gathered with my running friends outside of running for the first time pretty much since the Pandemic. Plus a little drive for lobster rolls & ice cream. So how did running go? I'm … Continue reading Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
