I'm mining my 15k and my 5k for a few November Runfessions today. The Holidays are going to be pretty low key around here. Thanksgiving at my parents Senior Living Community (please God no drama), we celebrate Hannukah, which is not a big deal. So not a whole lot to runfess when it comes to … Continue reading Racing Thoughts: Runfessions November 2019

Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/10/19
I'd been stalking weather for this year's Stockadeathon for a while and finally signed up on Tuesday. With another very stressful week on the family front, I was definitely feeling run down by race day and kind of questioning why I thought this was a good idea? Packet Pickup Packet pickup is always easy, and … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/10/19
Third time’s the Charm: 11/4-10 WRD
At my mom's much of this week again. Dad is home. Big, big adjustment. Third time refers to the fact that his release kept getting pushed to a different date, due to medical issues, but in the end I brought him home on Thursday. Although there was time to get a third run in this … Continue reading Third time’s the Charm: 11/4-10 WRD
Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18
Stockadeathon is the only 15k I've ever done. I really like the distance -- long enough to be a challenge, but ends at about the time I start to get really tired. This year's race dawned with a dusting of snow, and snow continued to pelt the windshield on the drive to the race, but … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/11/18
Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/12/17
Stockadeathon was my last big race of 2017. I didn't ask Rachel @ Runningonhappy for a plan, although I did think about it, because yes, I was gunning for a PR again. And while Darlene was running 13.1 in Vegas with other blogger friends, I still had some friends to hang out with and bumped … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/12/17
Goodbye is so hard to say: 1/23-29 Weekly Wrap
I kind of feel like I'm on repeat lately -- tired, missing sunshine, slightly stressed, some good days, some meh days . . . it might be mild, but it's still winter! Oh, and don't worry about the post title -- nothing dire, we'll get to that in the favorites of the week. I'm joining … Continue reading Goodbye is so hard to say: 1/23-29 Weekly Wrap
Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/13/16
I had a plan for this race, and it wasn't to PR. I wanted to treat it as somewhere between a tempo run and a 15k at roughly race pace, shooting for an average pace of 12:15. I wanted to see if I felt I could go another 4 miles after I finished, since I … Continue reading Stockcadeathon Race Recap 11/13/16
Slacker/Not Slacking:11/7-13 Weekly Wrap
There wasn't much yoga this week. In point of fact, none. There wasn't much cross training either. And precious little strength training, to boot. So why am I so tired? Well, of course, there was Monday, going through more crap/stuff at my parents, visiting with my parents, driving about 2 hours home. Next I attacked … Continue reading Slacker/Not Slacking:11/7-13 Weekly Wrap
