You'll have to read on to find out which one. 😉 I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap

August 2018: Did I pass?
August was filled with the most miles I have ever run in what seemed like the most humidity, too. Not to mention warmer than normal temps. Getting in scheduled runs When it came to getting in runs, August was a doozy! Not so much in getting my runs done, but in the never-ending rain and … Continue reading August 2018: Did I pass?
Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
It's always a busy week before a race, but driving instead of flying means that I have more wiggle room with when we leave (although the pet sitters really do like a time!). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wish the Weekly Wrap Happy … Continue reading Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap

Here be dragons
Before you could see pretty much anywhere on earth via Google maps -- way before -- map makers would write "here be dragons" for unexplored lands/seas. I've always loved that phrase! How far can you go? For many years I've wondered what lies beyond 13.1 miles (or maybe 14.1, because sometimes I do a warm … Continue reading Here be dragons

Camp Chingacook Race Recap 8/11/18
It's been four years since I ran the Camp Chingacook Challenge; I don't have a race recap on the blog because it was before I started blogging.

Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
It was a miserable week when it came to running. Although the heat wave broke mid week, the humidity didn't -- not until my 10k on Saturday. Then we were blessed with temps we haven't seen in weeks and cloudy skies. It was also a week filled with friendly getogethers, family, and maybe a bit … Continue reading Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
