I thought we'd be going to my parents today, but we're going to try for tomorrow since my nephew (who lives in India -- yes, the country) will be visiting. So I didn't need to get that long run in on Friday, but then I didn't have to deal with the crazy wind today. I … Continue reading Thawing out: 12/9-15 WRD
Not HIITing It
Every Winter I go through the same routine, unless I'm training for a mid Winter half: I figure I'm not training for anything, so it's time to really hit the strength training. Often after months of ST taking a back seat to running. Fairytales and Fitness Not giving up on ST, but . . … Continue reading Not HIITing It
Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/7/19
No running through the snow but plenty of snow on the ground made the narrow city streets even narrower this year for Last Run Albany. Add in icy bits (my racing nemesis lately) and it's a good thing I always consider Last Run Albany a fun run. Packet Pickup This year they changed the location … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/7/19
Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD
Last night (yup, night) was probably my last race for 2019. There was a 5k I considered for next weekend, but the weather right now doesn't look great -- of course that can always change. This week was still a bit light in strength training, but I suppose I made up for that with all … Continue reading Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD
Stranger Things with Alexa: Tea/coffee Date December 2019
If we were meeting up for a hot beverage today, I'd have a lot of things to tell you. None of them have to do with running. Some of them have to do with animals. Some of them might still involve the treadmill. Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee … Continue reading Stranger Things with Alexa: Tea/coffee Date December 2019
5 Reasons Strong is My 2020 Word
Every year I choose a word to focus on; a word of the year, if you like. Unlike some years Strong didn't just pop into my mind, but I have a feeling that I'm going to need to be Strong in 2020. Of course we always need to be strong, but I have a feeling … Continue reading 5 Reasons Strong is My 2020 Word
It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
Thanksgiving was spent with my parents, my sister and her kids, plus one of the couples my parents eat with on a regular basis. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great, and I have a strong feeling it might be my Dad's last Thanksgiving, but only time will tell. Not a whole lot of activity … Continue reading It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
Racing Thoughts: Runfessions November 2019
I'm mining my 15k and my 5k for a few November Runfessions today. The Holidays are going to be pretty low key around here. Thanksgiving at my parents Senior Living Community (please God no drama), we celebrate Hannukah, which is not a big deal. So not a whole lot to runfess when it comes to … Continue reading Racing Thoughts: Runfessions November 2019
Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/24/19
Girls on the Run (also known as GOTR) is an awesome nonprofit that helps train young girls to run a 5k, but more importantly, also helps them with their self esteem. The lovely Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner runs one of these groups, by the way. This was my third time running this 5k (not in consecutive … Continue reading Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/24/19
All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
Another week at home, although I had a false alarm midweek. Physically my Dad is regaining some strength, but mentally not so much and it's only going to continue going downhill. Even with an aide, it's very hard on my Mom. On everyone, really. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how … Continue reading All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
