I started the week fairly determined to run outside every day. And my wish was granted. Be careful what you wish for eh? On Friday I started to feel tired in the afternoon, but I did a lot around the house. Saturday I woke up with a sore threat and mildly elevated resting heart rate. … Continue reading Be careful what you wish for: 1/29- 2/4 Weekly Wrap
Powering through Winter: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
It's a good thing February is the shortest month of the year, because it is often the worst month of winter. I know this, because my birthday is in February.

Or hisbiscus . … Continue reading Powering through Winter: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
January 2018: Did I pass?
I started out the year slowly, not feeling 100% for several weeks. I was never very sick, just enough that I needed more rest than usual. As the month went on and I got back to normal my activity got back to normal, too. Not much going on this month. Getting in scheduled runs I … Continue reading January 2018: Did I pass?
I ran out of ice: 1/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
Songs that involved ice, that is. I tried to look up new ones but nothing caught my fancy. Ice seemed to play somewhat prominently in this week. This felt like the first normal activity week in a long, long time. And no shoveling, either, which was a blessing (although the remnants tried to take me … Continue reading I ran out of ice: 1/22- 28 Weekly Wrap

Throwing out the Android: 1/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
Nothing super eventful about this week. Three of my four runs were actually outside -- despite getting dumped on with snow earlier in the week. I ran once with Darlene, who had MLK Day off, which hasn't happened in a while. And met up with the remnants of the Wineglass girls for a group run … Continue reading Throwing out the Android: 1/15- 21 Weekly Wrap

Another one bites the dust: 1/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Race streak, that is. I've been doing the New Year's Day "race" since 2011; I ran this race before I'd even run my first half! First it got pushed from New Years Day to today due to the extreme cold on New Years Day. Turned out to be just as cold today, and despite the … Continue reading Another one bites the dust: 1/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
