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
It all adds up
You don't have to spend an hour -- or more -- at a time to get fit. In fact, I would argue that if you work out for an hour, then sit on your butt the rest of the day, you're probably losing more fitness than you're gaining. It's much easier to fit in 10 … Continue reading It all adds up
A News Diet: Runfessions February 2018
You'll have to read through to that last runfession to see what I mean by a news diet. And don't get me wrong -- I'd much rather be healthy than sick, but I made the most out of the time usually tied up with exercising. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to start off 2018 right. … Continue reading A News Diet: Runfessions February 2018
