Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap

December 30, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

Training Week 4: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I'm beginning to add in some speed work, but am being somewhat conservative in my training. In fact, I'll probably continue to go back and forth between three days a week and four days a week.  Mostly it will depend on the weather and how my body … Continue reading Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap

Losing it or . . . : Runfessions December 2018

December 28, 2018December 26, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 22 Comments

You've got to actually wear it to be motivated I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to get off those last minute 2018 Runfessions off my chest. I runfess . . . I brought a water bottle to Last Run (read about it here), but never actually used it -- or in fact took it out of … Continue reading Losing it or . . . : Runfessions December 2018

I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap

December 23, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 30 Comments

Training Week 3: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Definitely a much better week than the previous one. Running is going pretty good. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not pushing as hard as I did in the last four goal races. It was a lot of hard training, so this time I'm still training but … Continue reading I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap

1 Way to Stay Motivated

December 21, 2018December 20, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

It's quickie Friday! I'll bet most of you are deep into the Holiday Hustle, as Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunnercalls it. I'm not, but the last couple of weeks were a bit tiring with Gizmo and that inherent stress. He may not be completely back to normal; it could be his new normal -- but he's a … Continue reading 1 Way to Stay Motivated

Goals: Met & Looking into 2019

December 18, 2018December 17, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

When it comes to running goals, I had four main goals for 2018: Stay injury free Run the 1812 Challenge PR a 5k Add 2 new states So how'd that work for me? Let's see! Stay injury free Despite ending the year with some piriformis/hamstring pain, I'd say I rocked this. The only time I … Continue reading Goals: Met & Looking into 2019

Running & Watering: 12/10 -16 Weekly Wrap

December 16, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 34 Comments

Training Week 2: Best Damn Race Savannah Half The week went sideways on me (read more about that in favorites, although it wasn't a good thing) and I didn't get as much activity in as I wanted -- but I got my runs in and the bonus is my legs are feeling pretty good again. … Continue reading Running & Watering: 12/10 -16 Weekly Wrap

5 Reasons Love is My 2019 Word

December 14, 2018December 13, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 21 Comments

Every year I choose a word to focus on; a word of the year, if you like. Usually at some point it just pops into my head at some point, but I must say this year that didn't happen. I did find myself thinking about the word Love on one run, nothing else has popped … Continue reading 5 Reasons Love is My 2019 Word

Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18

December 11, 2018December 10, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

No snowy selfies this year, and that's a good thing! OTOH, while I was with a group, I raced alone . . . so no friendly chatting during the race. Ah, but was it a good race? Packet Pickup This year Darlene @ Myfirst5k offered to pick up bibs. In the end, she picked up … Continue reading Last Run Albany Race Recap 12/8/18

Back in the Groove: 12/3 -9 Weekly Wrap

December 9, 2018 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 35 Comments

Training Week 1: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Let's just say it wasn't an auspicious start to my training for my next half: I finally felt like I got back into the groove. The taping was helping my hamstrings tremendously, my paces were normal, I had a great run Friday and Saturday last week, and … Continue reading Back in the Groove: 12/3 -9 Weekly Wrap

I am joining Fairytales & Fitness for  Fridays with Fairytales & Fitness, a link up for healthy liftestyle bloggers, to share five things I've … Continue reading What you need this holiday!
