In case you hadn't noticed, I took a week and a half off of running. Seriously, if you're going to do that, the tail end of winter is the perfect time. I was feeling a little run down initially, plus I have no big running goals at the moment. I kept myself active in other … Continue reading Does running really make you hungrier?
I Can’t Make You Love Me
Still riding the love train (read about it here), and this month I give you Bonnie Raitt. You're welcome. I chose that one because sometimes races are just ok -- not necessarily anything you did or didn't do, it happens. Last month it was "What is Love? Baby Don't Hurt Me". Well, my race (read … Continue reading I Can’t Make You Love Me
“Powering” Through: 2/25-3/3 WRD
Without a goal race on the calendar and bitter cold and snow and wind, I can't say I'm super motivated to run. I want to maintain my base, so after a short runbbatical, it was time to lace up . . . a little. I've been active in other ways. On Monday we lost power … Continue reading “Powering” Through: 2/25-3/3 WRD
Where’s my Spring?: Spilling over tea/coffee March 2019
The groundhog said it would be an early Spring. Tell that to the wind, cold, and snow we're having lately. What does a large furry rodent know, anyway? Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date, cause I have lots to share with you and want to hear what … Continue reading Where’s my Spring?: Spilling over tea/coffee March 2019
Best Damn Race Savannah Half Marathon Race Recap 2/16/19
I have been looking at half marathons in Savannah forever, it seems. But I'm picky; just ask Mr. Judy. Many of the halfs there are in April -- too hot and humid (and maybe rainy)! Of course sometimes you can catch a break, but no. Just no. Then Best Damn Races announced they would be … Continue reading Best Damn Race Savannah Half Marathon Race Recap 2/16/19
R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap
In some ways it seems kind of pointless to join up with the Weekly Wrap, because there wasn't a lot of movement this week. But that's just the point: sometimes recovery looks like being lazy, but recovery is important -- and I don't have anything on my schedule right now, either. Perfect timing. I'm joining … Continue reading R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Shoegate: Runfessions February 2019
I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to share my thoughts on Shoegate 2019. Don't know what that is? I wish I didn't! I runfess . . . The black hole saga continues. I've written about the black hole in my house somewhere that possessions seem to fall through -- many times! The newest additions were my … Continue reading Shoegate: Runfessions February 2019
I ruined running
Did you catch this article from Steve Jones: "Starting and Finishing a Marathon Doesn't Make You a Marathoner". The article was published three years ago, and I started this post almost as long ago. It languished on the back burner a long time. If you missed it, you can read it here. It didn't sit … Continue reading I ruined running
