I mean seriously I should know better. So I got on the treadmill Monday, and while the left foot felt reasonable, I'd tried out some new walking shoes the day before. I'd loosened the laces but I guess they were still too tight. I knew it was hurting to run (and doing a little speedwork) … Continue reading Why are Runners Stupid?: 1/15 – 21 WRD

A Rundown Rundown: 1/1 – 14 WRD
Thankfully I'm feeling okay (well, except for the foot -- which is on and off) -- but sleep has been meh for a while. So it was a scaled back week, but there was a nice mixture of fitness all the same and I'm okay with it. I'd rather rest more than get sick by … Continue reading A Rundown Rundown: 1/1 – 14 WRD
Forget Cool Runnings . . .: 1/1 – 7 WRD
. . . chilly running was the name of the game this week! It wasn't too bad though. I got in my runs, but struggled with getting in some strength training (again). At least all three runs this week were outside! Especially as it's supposed to snow all day today. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly … Continue reading Forget Cool Runnings . . .: 1/1 – 7 WRD
Ready for the New!: 12/25 – 31 WRD
Let's just say all sorts of plans got screwed up in the last couple of weeks, the end result being that we are going to visit my mom today -- and that means only two runs this week. Not at all the plan but it is what it is. On the brighter side, Albie the … Continue reading Ready for the New!: 12/25 – 31 WRD
May you feel peaceful: 12/18 – 24 WRD
This week started out great. I've been feeling and recovering better than I have been in weeks. I went to bed Tuesday night feeling fine, and woke up a few hours later feeling not fine at all -- luckily, that only seemed to last a day. Very weird! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah … Continue reading May you feel peaceful: 12/18 – 24 WRD
The Truth is Out There: 12/5 – 17 WRD
My mom got a nice surprise yesterday when Mr. Judy and Bandit came with me to visit for the first time in almost 6 months. Her apartment was still like a sauna, but Bandit's pupsicle kept him occupied once we got him going. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and coasting towards … Continue reading The Truth is Out There: 12/5 – 17 WRD
If Development is so difficult . . .
. . . why do it? Development: the act or process of devloping; growth; progress Development, progress, growth, improvement. Call it what you will, you can't create development without some effort. There's a saying about marathons, maybe you've heard it? If it were easy, everyone would do it. All growth depends on activity. There is … Continue reading If Development is so difficult . . .
5 Ways I Shake Up Fitness in the Summer
I am active year round, but I won't lie, it just seems easier to be more active in the summer: longer days, warmer days, lighter clothes. Sometimes during the winter it just seems so hard to be changing into and out of fitness clothes, and as much as I love my fitness clothes, they just … Continue reading 5 Ways I Shake Up Fitness in the Summer
5 Favorites from SSS (Summer Sweat Series)
Summer is the time where everything just kind of hangs out -- even all the jiggly bits we wish wouldn't hang out. It also happens to coincide with my mini off season. Generally at the end of the year I take an off season, where I still run, but there are no hill repeats, few … Continue reading 5 Favorites from SSS (Summer Sweat Series)
