It was mostly a brutally hot and humid week, and most of my running (well, about half) was spent on the revived treadmill. Most early mornings found me walking Bandit. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and still recovering, this time from the colonoscopy, the stress, and the heat wave. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading It’s Alive! Or is it?: 8/9 – 15 WRD

Daytripping & Running: 6/21 – 27 WRD
Looking ahead I could tell next week wasn't going to be a good time for us to be daytripping and hiking. Wednesday was really picture perfect so we headed out to Lenox, Ma for some good food and walking and a short hike. Sandwiched in between I completed four runs and some strength training. I'm … Continue reading Daytripping & Running: 6/21 – 27 WRD
Enjoying all the light: 6/14 – 20 WRD
The Summer Solstice, which starts tonight, is a little bittersweet -- because from here on out the days get shorter. Even knowing that we can still enjoy the long days of Summer and extra sunshine while we have it! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing my week in activity -- … Continue reading Enjoying all the light: 6/14 – 20 WRD
Settling into a Groove: 6/7 – 13 WRD
I find it's easier to get in more fitness during the Summer -- how about you? I seem to have settled into a groove of running 4 x week, even though that wasn't a goal. I told myself I was only going to run 3 x this week, but oops. After a very hot and … Continue reading Settling into a Groove: 6/7 – 13 WRD
Running in a Face Shield: Runfessions August 2020
Ok, no, I'm not running in a face shield. It's just one of the weird thoughts I had on the run -- you'll have to read on to see what that's all about. Oh, and have you seen the clear face masks? You can buy them here, btw. They seem weird and it also seems … Continue reading Running in a Face Shield: Runfessions August 2020
The things bugging me: Runfessions July 2020
The main theme of my runfessions for July is the bugs, heat, and humidity. Ants don't bother me on the run, but they do sometimes bother me on my Yoga mat (outside). Summer puts a lot more meaning into the phrase "what's bugging you", right? I runfess . . . Nasal breathing does not protect … Continue reading The things bugging me: Runfessions July 2020
Lost & Found: Runfessions June 2020
There isn't a whole lot going on in my neck of the woods, so my runfessions aren't earth shattering. Finding things, losing things, the heat and the things I should do but don't always are rounding out June's Runfessions. I runfess . . . Those missing capris were hiding in plain sight. Sort of. As … Continue reading Lost & Found: Runfessions June 2020
To all who serve, Thank You!: 5/20-26 WRD
I didn't really have a lot of running or errands this week, but it sure seemed busy nonetheless. Then my shoulder decided to protest the weight lifting. It wasn't as if I was doing much or lifting crazy weights, but it got really sore. I found some yoga videos for shoulder pain that helped immensely, … Continue reading To all who serve, Thank You!: 5/20-26 WRD
Summer running had me a blast . . .
Or did I? There's so much to love about summer running: Longer days, making it easier to squeeze in early or late runs Warmer temps, which means less clothes The feeling of moving freely because of fewer layers Sunshine!!!! Clear trails -- at least clear of snow and ice So what do we have to … Continue reading Summer running had me a blast . . .
