Planning your hikes is part of the fun, although being spontaneous can be fun, too. There are so many resources out there to plan hikes these days! I'm linking up with My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Runs with Pugs, Zenaida and Run Laugh Eat Pie for Fit Five Friday. Today I'm sharing 5 ways (and things to … Continue reading 5 Ways to Plan Your Next Hike
Hiking
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
The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
It was a somewhat busy week with a trip to my mom and an early long run. Very glad I got that done before Summer started to come back again! I used to run very early all the time, but over the years I've found that can feel tiring after a while -- even though … Continue reading The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Last week we kinda went from almost Winter to Spring, but I could see looking ahead that we were rapidly moving into Summer. Which we did. Suddenly I was running earlier and earlier and it was getting warmer and warmer. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and trading pace for effort. Workouts update … Continue reading Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
Most of my family gathered for Mother's Day, which made my mom kvell (happy & proud, essentially, in Yiddish). Then the next day we buried my Dad. We visited the graves of my brother (who died before I was born), and my Aunt & Uncle who are also buried in that cemetery. The drive down, … Continue reading Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
All the Seasons of Spring: Tea/coffee Date April 2021
Thanks, Coco and Deborah, getting us altogether virtually for a coffee date. It may be Spring, with all that applies -- swinging back & forth between Spring & Winter -- so I'm still drinking hot chocolate. 🙂 If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you a couple of weeks ago I was having serious vaccine … Continue reading All the Seasons of Spring: Tea/coffee Date April 2021
How Lucky We Are: 12/14 – 20 WRD
I spent some quality time with my treadmill this week. As I type this, there were two treadmill runs. Will there be a third? You'll have to read on to find out. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and coasting towards the New Year. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk/short … Continue reading How Lucky We Are: 12/14 – 20 WRD
Muskrat Love: 12/7 – 13 WRD
I spent two of my runs this week at a local preserve. Each time I went I saw different wildlife. Once I saw what I thought were baby beavers, but Mr. Judy thinks they were muskrats -- I didn't share the photo because all you see are two little lumps in the water. Whatever they … Continue reading Muskrat Love: 12/7 – 13 WRD
