Last week I managed to get all my runs done outside. This week the weather was crappy on and off, and there were two treadmill runs. I'm totally fine with that -- I still get outside to walk Bandit -- except yesterday. Cold rain all day long? No thank you. Peloton does make the treadmill … Continue reading In & Out: 11/30 – 12/6 WRD

Hello Mother!: 11/23 – 29 WRD
This week I was actually able to go into my mom's apartment. Which meant I was actually able to use a bathroom. I stayed a little longer than I'd planned on, although less than the time limit -- and since I was working on her Echo Show, we weren't as socially distanced as I would … Continue reading Hello Mother!: 11/23 – 29 WRD
Goodbyes are hard: 11/16 – 22 WRD
I wrapped up my Peloton 5k Training with the virtual Champion for the Chesapeake 5k (folded into my longish run this week). Unfortunately a week of bad news. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing "race" week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk, Yoga (20 min) Tuesday: Yoga (40 … Continue reading Goodbyes are hard: 11/16 – 22 WRD
Tackling all the Hills: 8/31 – 9/6 WRD
I'm not gonna lie: I am ready for some flat road! Only problem is my neighborhood (and the surrounding area) has very little flat. The places I visited this week had very little flat, too. These legs got a workout this week, which is good, because I didn't manage to squeeze in much strength training. … Continue reading Tackling all the Hills: 8/31 – 9/6 WRD
I Come Back Even Stronger: August 2020
August was relatively busy in a good way. 2 trips to mom, one with a side trip. More day trips. Slight increase in running. Slight increase in walking, too. Made an effort to get in more steps. I collected my mug from June's virtual xc runs (with a side trip on that trip too). August's … Continue reading I Come Back Even Stronger: August 2020
Heading into Fall: 8/24 – 30 WRD
Fall seems to be moving in. I'm mostly okay with that. A little wistful, of course, I'll miss my skirts and the long days. In fact, as I was folding up and putting away a few of my Summer skirts today, I couldn't help but wonder if that will be the last time I wear … Continue reading Heading into Fall: 8/24 – 30 WRD
Silver Linings Playbook: 6/4 – 10 Weekly Wrap
I can't say as I was super happy about the unseasonably cool weather this week -- except when it comes to running. On the other hand, running in unseasonably warm weather the previous few weeks set me up for a good race last weekend. There's always a silver lining, right? I'm joining up with the Weekly … Continue reading Silver Linings Playbook: 6/4 – 10 Weekly Wrap
Another one bites the dust: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2017
You'll have to keep reading to see what I killed this time. No, it wasn't a furkid or Mr. Judy, although there have definitely been a few times when all of them have tempted me . . . Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying … Continue reading Another one bites the dust: Spilling over tea/coffee November 2017
New Critters: 9/4-10 Weekly Wrap
No, no new furkids! But I saw a larger snake than I've seen in our neighborhood before (unfortunately squashed by a car) and a Heron at the park. We enjoyed some scenic views from an overlook we hiked to, and oh yeah, there was a little running in there, too (and trying -- but failing … Continue reading New Critters: 9/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Yay for Procrastination!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2017
It's been a frustrating week -- no wait, kind of a frustrating month -- and so I have a lot to spill over my cup of tea. And yes, normally I'd link up tomorrow, and I was working on a normal Friday Five post, but it needs a bit more attention and I'd already started … Continue reading Yay for Procrastination!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2017
