I won't lie: life is much easier without Lola. The sadness lingers, though, of course, and I'd trade the easiness for more time with her, but it is what it is. Is was the right decision. My heart has been heavy much of this week, but we laugh, too, because life truly does go on. … Continue reading New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
Sourdough Fail: Tea/coffee Date November 2020
Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me and a bunch of bloggers for the ultimate coffee tea date: How do sourdough pancakes with that coffee/tea sound? If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . . I'd tell you that they had just opened up inside visitation where my mom lives. Then a staff member … Continue reading Sourdough Fail: Tea/coffee Date November 2020
I Tried It: Making My Own Nut Milk
I have known that you could easily make your own nut milk in a Vitamix for a long time. It still just seemed too much effort. I read someone's recommendation for the Almond Cow and was really intrigued. As I dug deeper I read the almond milk from a Vitamix was actually creamier than from … Continue reading I Tried It: Making My Own Nut Milk
RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
It was a long, long week. Physically and emotionally draining. Lola improved, just slightly, then she got worse. The runs were short, although that doesn't always mean they were easy. Even last night, this wasn't the post I thought I'd be writing, but Lola went to her final sleep in my arms last night (at … Continue reading RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Between all the colorful leaves, the lakes/ponds, and grasses, it's been easy to find my rainbows out in nature these days. Hopefully these memories will help sustain me through the long, cold, dark, dreary Winter. Or maybe I'll find more beauty in nature this Winter; who knows? I runfess . . . During our 3 … Continue reading Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Hold On: October 2020
October had no races, virtual or otherwise. In fact, it was probably the least amount of running I did in 2020 with a 2 week running break, and now trying to squeeze in running around hopefully coaxing Lola back to health. October also saw tempers fraying, the election getting on everyone's nerves, and COVID once … Continue reading Hold On: October 2020
Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
This week didn't start off as I planned, but it was pretty good -- until the weekend. Then things went rapidly downhill. I had targeted a park that was a little further away than we usually go for our anniversary roadtrip. I'd been there, once, and I thought Mr. Judy might enjoy it, too. We … Continue reading Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
Just Respect & Compassion
Have you seen the memes? The ones about not living your life in fear because of Coronavirus? This is a highly personal post, and one I put a great deal of thought into. It would be much easier to not to write this post, but in the end, I felt it was important for me … Continue reading Just Respect & Compassion
I Finished It: 40 Day Kriya
Remember that 40 Day Kriya? You can read about it in this post here if you missed it. I finished it! What did I learn? It was a lot like running! In some ways. Get it done first thing It is suggested that you do it before 6 am; the effects are supposed to be … Continue reading I Finished It: 40 Day Kriya
Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Yes, there is some running to report this week! Nothing wild, just a few short runs. Still lots of Yoga and walking. Less walking, though, because . . . running. My running miles basically replaced my extra walking miles from the previous week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and reporting on easing … Continue reading Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
