Turkey Talk: 10/30-11/5 Weekly Wrap
With the exception of Monday, it was nice running this week, even if it was all over the place. Weather whiplash indeed, from running in a skirt & tee one day to tights and a jacket a couple of days later. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to get … Continue reading Turkey Talk: 10/30-11/5 Weekly Wrap
Another one bites the dust: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2017
You'll have to keep reading to see what I killed this time. No, it wasn't a furkid or Mr. Judy, although there have definitely been a few times when all of them have tempted me . . . Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying … Continue reading Another one bites the dust: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2017
October 2017: Did I pass?
Did I pass in October? I suppose any month that starts off with a half marathon PR (read about Wineglass here) can't be a bad month. With the half "monkey" off my back, though, there have been a wee bit of slacking going on. You decide. Getting in scheduled runs While there are still runs … Continue reading October 2017: Did I pass?
No trail race but a hike!: 10/23-29 Weekly Wrap
It's Fall, y'all. We are just a little bit past peak here in our neck of the woods, but this post will be a bit more photo heavy since it's just so pretty out there (when it isn't raining, like today). I traded in an easy run for a hike this week. I continued to … Continue reading No trail race but a hike!: 10/23-29 Weekly Wrap
Wineglass edition: Runfessions October 2017
Wineglass may have been the very first day of October (read about it here), so maybe that just means I've been holding out on you guys, cause it sure provided me with plenty of runfessions! What's a runfession, you ask? Well, it's the sort of thing you'd only fess up to another runner, cause we … Continue reading Wineglass edition: Runfessions October 2017
Maybe it’s good to be a turtle . . .
. . . when you begin I can still truthfully call myself a turtle. I am faster, but I am still not fast, and feel no need to change my slogan: An older, slower runner with a passion for chocolate and half marathons. In the beginning . . . . . . almost every runner … Continue reading Maybe it’s good to be a turtle . . .

5 Ways to Find Your Mojo . . .

One point … Continue reading 5 Ways to Find Your Mojo . . .
Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/14/17
I sort of feel that I got both a trick and a treat in this race -- tricked in the parking guidance, treated to a PR (although my Garmin shows the course just a smidge short). I know this is a 10k race review, and it ought to be considerably shorter than a half review, … Continue reading Great Pumpkin 10k Race Recap 10/14/17
