To keep my word for 2019, Love (read about it here), in mind, I came up with the idea to title each month's wrap with a song title that includes love. Lucky for me there are many, many songs with the word love in the title. The subject does not refer to being injured. I … Continue reading What is love? Baby don’t hurt me

November 2018: Did I pass?
When it comes to racing, 2018 was just an odd year. Some highs, some lows, and a lot of races that just didn't happen (but luckily weren't registered for so I lost nothing). Getting in scheduled runs Essentially there were no scheduled runs. No big goal races. Not as much racing as I usually do … Continue reading November 2018: Did I pass?
October 2018: Did I pass?
October was a lot less busy than September, and after a couple of months of travel -- mostly fun stuff -- I was ready for a slower pace. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know that I did run a half marathon on Cape Cod this weekend. In a Nor'easter. I was … Continue reading October 2018: Did I pass?
September 2018: Did I pass?
September found me resting from the 1812 Challenge (read about it here), very briefly, then training hard for my next half, which is this weekend. And we traveled to NYC to celebrate Mr. Judy's birthday the week before my half, which included fasting for Yom Kippur, so it was a whirlwind of a month. I … Continue reading September 2018: Did I pass?
August 2018: Did I pass?
August was filled with the most miles I have ever run in what seemed like the most humidity, too. Not to mention warmer than normal temps. Getting in scheduled runs When it came to getting in runs, August was a doozy! Not so much in getting my runs done, but in the never-ending rain and … Continue reading August 2018: Did I pass?
July 2018: Did I pass?
I completed State #17 & Half #19 in July. I started the month strong with a course PR at my annual 4th race, despite very hot conditions (read the recap here). We finally had a very much-needed vacation (aka my racecation). But . . . how did July really go? Getting in scheduled runs I … Continue reading July 2018: Did I pass?
June 2018: Did I pass?
The weather kept going back and forth from hot and humid to unseasonably cool in June. I'm pretty sure hot and humid won out, for the most part. The turtle I found on one long run was most definitely my spirit animal for some runs this month! I seemed to find my mojo in most … Continue reading June 2018: Did I pass?
May 2018: Did I pass?
The weather turned much nicer in May -- sometimes -- although there was still a lot of rain. My runs are getting done, they've been strong, and my body feels generally good. Yet I've been slacking in a lot of areas and just not motivated to do a lot of the chores that need to … Continue reading May 2018: Did I pass?
April 2018: Did I pass?
April wasn't as busy as March, but the weather -- well, you know. It had me feeling kind of meh for a lot of the month -- but not actively sick. April also ushered in my first race of 2018 & there's actually another race on the schedule for this weekend. And yes, I know … Continue reading April 2018: Did I pass?
March 2018: Did I pass?
We celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday. Then we will celebrate with her again and my Dad's 92nd birthday as well, with the whole immediate family. I tried new stuff and yeah, I shoveled a lot of snow (in fact, there's still snow on the grass, even though the last big storm missed us. Thank God). … Continue reading March 2018: Did I pass?
