Pretty sure I've used that title before! I was supposed to be at my moms for New Years. Then a couple of days before there were several cases of COVID in the workers, the day before more and cases in the residents as well. It was a difficult decision, but I decided to stay home. … Continue reading Getting What I Need: 12/27 – 1/2 WRD

A Plan B Kind of Week: 12/20 – 26 WRD
I did have a reaction to the booster, but it wasn't as bad as with the second shot, thankfully. Still ran a fever for roughly 24 hours which kept me on the couch all last Sunday. Couldn't even walk Bandit -- and therefore Bandit refused to walk with Mr. Judy. He often refuses to walk … Continue reading A Plan B Kind of Week: 12/20 – 26 WRD
The Rain Washed it All Away: 12/6 – 12 WRD
There were a couple of snowy runs this week, but yesterday it rained, and the snow is all gone for now. I am much happier without snow! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and just moving through the stress. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (45 min), Dogwalk, PB Walking with Weights (20 min)Tuesday: Yoga … Continue reading The Rain Washed it All Away: 12/6 – 12 WRD
Getting the most out of Fall: 11/8 – 14 WRD
Unfortunately the storm clouds were metaphorically (and literally!) moving in again this week, although the actual weather was mostly quite nice -- except Friday & Saturday, maybe this evening. There were definitely some bright spots to the week, though! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and enjoying the sunshine this week. Literally … Continue reading Getting the most out of Fall: 11/8 – 14 WRD
Grateful for Simple Things: 11/1 – 7 WRD
I apologize for last week. I had a bit of a meltdown. I literally felt like I was walking around with a dark cloud hanging over me. Things have been looking up this week. Mr. Judy fixed the dishwasher. The new phone got mailed arrived (today). I had two solo walk/hikes and didn't get lost. … Continue reading Grateful for Simple Things: 11/1 – 7 WRD
Are We Done Yet???: 10/25 – 31 WRD
The beginning of the week was spent at Lake Minnewaska State Park, and despite the meh weather (including a Nor'easter) it was amazing! I can't wait to go back someday and explore more. If you follow me on FB here you'll see a lot more photos of our hikes there. The subject, unfortunately, refers to … Continue reading Are We Done Yet???: 10/25 – 31 WRD
Getting in my hikes before Winter: Runfessions October 2021
I know plenty of people hike year round, but I have enough trouble getting myself outside to run during Winter. Sure, those frozen waterfall photos are cool -- but so are the temps. Well, they're downright freezing! So I've been making a real effort to get in more hikes before the snow flies. Of course … Continue reading Getting in my hikes before Winter: Runfessions October 2021
Anniversary Hiking: 10/18 – 24 WRD
A short visit to my mom, who seems to be doing well. I suspect the change in some meds and the fact that she's on oxygen accounts for that -- although the oxygen is literally a drag. The rest of the week was run, hike, rinse, lather, repeat! Fall is in full swing here, so … Continue reading Anniversary Hiking: 10/18 – 24 WRD
Should I Stay or Go Now?: 10/11 – 17 WRD
The week started out with my Mom on her way to the hospital. Seriously, I took her to the cardiologist the previous Tuesday and by the next Monday she was in the hospital with (supposedly) pneumonia. With assurances from my sister that she wasn't at death's door and the very limited hospital visiting hours, I … Continue reading Should I Stay or Go Now?: 10/11 – 17 WRD
