Stronger Every Day: January 2020

January 28, 2020January 27, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Looking through songs with Strong as a theme (or in the Title) was surprising. Many seem to be about breakups, including this month's song, for which I'm going old school with Chicago's "Stronger Every Day" -- the refrain spoke to me. Of course I love the song, and maybe break up songs are kind of … Continue reading Stronger Every Day: January 2020

Love Hurts: December 2019

December 24, 2019December 23, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

I got to racing so much in November that apparently I was too busy writing up race recaps and never recapped November! It's my favorite time of year to race, which is why I have so many long sleeve tech shirts (which I like to sleep in). Running has been going well on just three … Continue reading Love Hurts: December 2019

Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019

November 5, 2019November 3, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

I got a small break in October (see last month's "grade" herefor what's been going on), but it ramped up at the end of the month with my Dad's discharge from rehab and scrambling to try to find a suitable aide for him. They don't give you much notice. Running continued pretty strong, and since … Continue reading Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019

Missing you: September 2019

October 8, 2019October 4, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

September was the month it all fell apart. In case you hadn't heard, we went to visit my parents on Labor Day, and my Dad ended up in the hospital that night. He spent almost a week in the hospital and is still in a rehabilitation center -- except then he ended up back in … Continue reading Missing you: September 2019

We can learn to love again: August 2019

September 3, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

So sue me: I basically picked Pink's song because I like it and it's my blog. So there. I haven't fallen out of love with running, although maybe I've fallen out of love with training hard? I don't know. The nice fall-like weather at the end of the month did make it easier to fall … Continue reading We can learn to love again: August 2019

Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019

August 6, 2019August 5, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I have to admit I didn't realize what song this was from the title, but when I clicked on the link, yup, I knew it. Who here hasn't done an early morning run in the sunshine -- maybe a bit too much sunshine? I'm with you my love The light's shinin' through on you Yes, … Continue reading Sunshine of Your Love: July 2019

I Will Always Love You: June 2019

July 2, 2019July 1, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

Now who doesn't love this Whitney Houston song? Such a wonderful voice, such a sad ending to her life. My June was not sad, though; in fact, there were lots of fun times! June was about coming back to running -- on my terms. Running how and when I want, something we all need to … Continue reading I Will Always Love You: June 2019

“I Can’t”: What Does it Mean?

June 21, 2019June 20, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

"I Can't" has many meanings. Can't simply means can not. According to Merriam Webster, can is defined as: be physically or mentally able to That is just one of the many definitions of the verb can; so can't means that you are not physically or mentally able to. We say can't all the time. We … Continue reading “I Can’t”: What Does it Mean?

I found love in the broken places: May 2019

June 4, 2019June 3, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 24 Comments

I just modified the song slightly (I, instead of we) to fit my love songs for 2019 theme. No, I am not broken, I'm well, although over the last few months it kind of felt like I was a little broken. It's sort of going to be a theme this week, I think. Normally I'd … Continue reading I found love in the broken places: May 2019

Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019

May 7, 2019May 6, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 21 Comments

Yup, had this post *almost* ready to go last week, but not quite ready. So I'm wrapping up April today. Technically I only missed running those last couple of days in April. No real plans for any big goal races any time soon. Heck, at this rate the 5k the beginning of June will be … Continue reading Love Will Keep Us Together: April 2019
