This week Yom Kippur fell mid week. Yom Kippur is about atoning for your sins, and asking forgiveness for the same. You are supposed to fast for 24 hours -- including no drinking. At all. We do fast, but we both drink. I'm sure God will forgive me for not wanting to be dehydrated. That … Continue reading All About Letting Go: 10/3 – 9 WRD

Embracing Fall Running: Runfessions September 2022
Runners who live in cold places often bemoan the arrival of Fall, because that means Winter is not far behind. You know I am no Winter lover, but it's going to come whether I embrace Fall or not, so why not enjoy all that Fall has to offer up here? Nowhere near peak but Fall … Continue reading Embracing Fall Running: Runfessions September 2022
Can you ever escape Jury Duty?: Tea/coffee Date November 2021
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

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
