Smoke gets in my eyes: 6/5 – 11 WRD

June 11, 2023June 11, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

It was all about the air quality this week. I'll share a photo towards the end showing you how bad it got at its height. A good reminder to never take anything for granted! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and trying to enjoy outdoor running, but a little foiled by the … Continue reading Smoke gets in my eyes: 6/5 – 11 WRD

Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD

June 4, 2023June 3, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

I didn't realize I'd have to implement my new plan to (maybe) run twice a week and do a cycling workout twice a week so soon -- but this week went sideways quickly. Bandit's cough has been becoming more frequent, but the day after Memorial Day he became a honking goose. Sigh. Like Chester & … Continue reading Mini heat wave: 5/29 – 6/4 WRD

Sunny Skies Ahead: 5/22 – 28 WRD

May 28, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

Just rebuilding my base, and considering how I want to stay fit going forward. I've been toying with the idea of alternating weeks with 2 runs and the next 3 runs, filling in with cycling (indoors, since I still don't like real bikes!). Haven't decided yet. Meanwhile Mother Nature is gifting us some spectacular weather, … Continue reading Sunny Skies Ahead: 5/22 – 28 WRD

Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD

May 21, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

Alternate title: Baby Steps My Garmin tells me I got enough intensity minutes this week. You know how you're supposed to get about 150 intensity minutes, and if you run, even low mileage, you are way beyond that. I found it hard to believe that I had enough even before today's run, but I'll take … Continue reading Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD

Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023

April 28, 2023April 20, 2023 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 14 Comments

I had to deal with a slight setback to running in April. I am not training for anything, but I just want to keep my running base. Is that really too much to ask? I runfess . . .I was thinking about running my first race of 2023 last weekend. It's a race I did … Continue reading Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023

It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD

December 1, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 26 Comments

Thanksgiving was spent with my parents, my sister and her kids, plus one of the couples my parents eat with on a regular basis. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great, and I have a strong feeling it might be my Dad's last Thanksgiving, but only time will tell. Not a whole lot of activity … Continue reading It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
