Sleep was spotty this week, which led to many senior moments. There was a trip to mom, so there was a short hike but a bit less running than I wanted. As usual I just tried to do the best I could. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and wondering why that … Continue reading Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD

Travel Tools: Tea/coffee Date December 2022
I'm joining Coco and Deborah for our last hot beverage meetup of the year! Seriously, how is that even possible? I'm sharing some of my favorite travel tools (this post contains Amazon affiliate links). These are what I bring when I'm driving to my destination and have room. This has also become my at-home tea kettle If … Continue reading Travel Tools: Tea/coffee Date December 2022
Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
I had already decided to take a week off running this week -- good thing, too, because I can't even begin to tell you how exhausted I was when I got back from my moms mid week. It's always tiring, but throw in that extreme heat -- wowza! I sincerely hope that I don't have … Continue reading Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
Just Play It Cool, Boy!: 7/18 – 24 WRD
Can you name that movie? I was a little disappointed that the recent remake was very similar to the original movie. It was good, but why make it if you're not adding something original? It did add a little, but truly mostly it seemed very similar -- to me, anyway. I hope that you've been … Continue reading Just Play It Cool, Boy!: 7/18 – 24 WRD
Going with the Flow: 7/11 – 17 WRD
A busy week even though I really tried to get in two rest days -- the second one was a bit too busy to really qualify as rest, though. Especially when my sister texted to tell me the aide is having more medical work done and I'll be going down at the end of the … Continue reading Going with the Flow: 7/11 – 17 WRD
The highs and lows of running: 7/4 – 10 WRD
Highs and lows is a bit of a wordplay on my runs this week, playing with heart rate -- which has been high and low on the run, indeed. Four runs baby! I finally made it to the elusive 15 miles per week, too, LOL! Next week will be a cut back week, I think, … Continue reading The highs and lows of running: 7/4 – 10 WRD
No Place like Home: 6/20 – 26 WRD
After about 3 days at my moms, not gonna lie: I was dragging this week. Everyone needs a little downtime sometimes. So far this Summer has been much less wet than last Summer (I know, it's early days!) and I've really enjoyed my reading outside in the backyard -- and being able to film in … Continue reading No Place like Home: 6/20 – 26 WRD
Steaming away: 1/17 – 23 WRD
Our windows steam up quickly with the very cold air we've been experiencing, often turning to ice crystals as I shared last week. Meanwhile I'm quietly over here, steaming away at running, Yoga, and working on a little Yoga Spring reboot. Because yes Spring actually is coming! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Steaming away: 1/17 – 23 WRD
Slowing Expanding: 1/10 – 16 WRD
I am determined to respect my body and give it the rest it wants -- while trying to move gently, too. I seemed to find a good balance this week. What I didn't find? Myself, outside, as much as usual. The ice stuck around for days because of the the mostly cold temps -- I … Continue reading Slowing Expanding: 1/10 – 16 WRD
Vacation Tales: Tea/coffee Date December 2021
Recent vacations -- ours & then Mr. Judy's -- provided plenty of fodder for the coffee klatch, although of course I'll be drinking hot chocolate. Thanks, Coco and Deborah, for the opportunity to tell some tales from vacations -- his & ours. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you I have been looking for … Continue reading Vacation Tales: Tea/coffee Date December 2021
