Thanks, Coco and Deborah, I am grateful you give us this opportunity to get together virtually! If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you I was working on my pumpkin post (click here if you want to know how to cook pie pumpkins in your Instant Pot), and I came across a typo that made … Continue reading Can you ever escape Jury Duty?: Tea/coffee Date November 2021

The One That Almost Didn’t Happen!: Tea/coffee Date October 2021
Thanks, Coco and Deborah, I'm sitting here with my hot chocolate, and now the weather is appropriate for it! The subject doesn't refer to races; I'm talking about this post. Seriously how cheerful is this mug? If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you I collect mugs. I use them, too. I got one from … Continue reading The One That Almost Didn’t Happen!: Tea/coffee Date October 2021
Settling Back In: 8/30 – 9/5 WRD

New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
I won't lie: life is much easier without Lola. The sadness lingers, though, of course, and I'd trade the easiness for more time with her, but it is what it is. Is was the right decision. My heart has been heavy much of this week, but we laugh, too, because life truly does go on. … Continue reading New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
It was a long, long week. Physically and emotionally draining. Lola improved, just slightly, then she got worse. The runs were short, although that doesn't always mean they were easy. Even last night, this wasn't the post I thought I'd be writing, but Lola went to her final sleep in my arms last night (at … Continue reading RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Between all the colorful leaves, the lakes/ponds, and grasses, it's been easy to find my rainbows out in nature these days. Hopefully these memories will help sustain me through the long, cold, dark, dreary Winter. Or maybe I'll find more beauty in nature this Winter; who knows? I runfess . . . During our 3 … Continue reading Finding Rainbows in Nature: Runfessions October 2020
Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
This week didn't start off as I planned, but it was pretty good -- until the weekend. Then things went rapidly downhill. I had targeted a park that was a little further away than we usually go for our anniversary roadtrip. I'd been there, once, and I thought Mr. Judy might enjoy it, too. We … Continue reading Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Yes, there is some running to report this week! Nothing wild, just a few short runs. Still lots of Yoga and walking. Less walking, though, because . . . running. My running miles basically replaced my extra walking miles from the previous week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and reporting on easing … Continue reading Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Not running actually frees up some of my time. Yes, I'm walking more, but that doesn't take as much pre- and post-routines (for me). Of course I could explore by running in the places I'm walking, but one problem I have is that I get so sweaty running that I can be uncomfortable post run … Continue reading Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
Nothing very exciting going on this week. No running to report (planned for break). Although I actually did get in more miles walking than I normally would with running, due to the Run for Ruth distance challenge. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running/walking my virtual Dempsey Challenge races. Workouts update Monday: Yoga … Continue reading Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
