Do you ever feel like you can run a certain distance -- doesn't matter if you've trained for it or you're injured -- you've done it in the past so you know you can just go out and do it, right? Maybe not This post isn't aimed at any one person, which I say because … Continue reading Respect the Distance
Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
Another super challenging week. I actually have hopes that life will get just a little bit better, the reason may seem odd: my Dad is now on Hospice. No, nothing changed, although everything changed. I plan to write more about that next Friday. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and share how I … Continue reading Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
There’s a little dog in all men: Tea/coffee Date January 2020
Mr. Judy and the dogs figure largely in what I'd tell you if we were meeting up for some hot beverages today. I'll bet you're really shocked -- not! Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date, while I forgive the dogs for the disgusting things they do because … Continue reading There’s a little dog in all men: Tea/coffee Date January 2020
What can change in a decade?
People have been talking so much about 2019 being the close of the decade (or 2020 being the start of a new one). Seems they can't even agree on when a new decade starts. So What can Change in a Decade? A whole lot, it turns out! Saying Goodbye There were many losses in the … Continue reading What can change in a decade?
Moving into 2020: 12/23-29 WRD
It was a somewhat challenging week to get in movement, due to travel and weather, but I managed pretty well. Got together with friends, briefly, attended a party, was there for my family.

The Cookie Monster . . .: Runfessions December 2019
. . . and #allthechocolate too! Actually, I haven't done too badly with holiday eating. Yet. Why does all the sugar, carb laden food have to come out just when I'm at my weakest due to the cold and almost nonexistent sunshine? I runfess I'm actually glad I don't have to attend #alltheholidayparties. I runfess … Continue reading The Cookie Monster . . .: Runfessions December 2019
Love Hurts: December 2019
I got to racing so much in November that apparently I was too busy writing up race recaps and never recapped November! It's my favorite time of year to race, which is why I have so many long sleeve tech shirts (which I like to sleep in). Running has been going well on just three … Continue reading Love Hurts: December 2019
Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD
Running went quite well this week. Paces are dropping a tad while HR is steady, all while pretty much running by feel. I got in a little more strength training, too. Snow flew, frigidly cold air moved in. Life, however, well, not so great. We have been pushing through getting my Dad into a nursing … Continue reading Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD
5 Questions to review 2019
Have you reviewed 2019 yet?

Fairytales and Fitness What … Continue reading 5 Questions to review 2019
Baby it’s cold outside! But . . .
. . . that doesn't mean you shouldn't cool down If you live up North like I do, everything is just harder in winter. Running feels harder because you have to bundle up so much. Running is slower because you have to watch out for black ice. Heck, just getting out the front door can … Continue reading Baby it’s cold outside! But . . .
