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
What can you do . . .
. . . to make it more fun? Last week I wrote about running not always being fun (read that post here). Lately running has actually been fairly strong for me, but the bugs! They're not even biting bugs and they're still sucking the life out of my runs. Or making me faster because I … Continue reading What can you do . . .
Newsflash: It’s not always fun
Wendy @ Takingthelongwayhome recently made the comment of why do it if it's not fun (or words to that effect) when she decided to drop down from a 50k to a half. This is not a rebuttal to Wendy's post -- we all have our reasons for training or not training, for skipping runs or … Continue reading Newsflash: It’s not always fun
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
Here we go again: 9/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Here we go again: more humidity, more rain, and oh yeah, another half. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to conquer NJ (state #19???? -- I'm not quite sure, I really must update my races page one of these days). Turns out it's state 18 … Continue reading Here we go again: 9/24-30 Weekly Wrap
Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap
Rachel @ Runningonhappy had nothing on my schedule this week. Only I'd decided before the 1812 Challenge that if I finished feeling good, I'd be signing up for another half at the end of September. You'll have to read on to find out which one. 😉 I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap
Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
It's always a busy week before a race, but driving instead of flying means that I have more wiggle room with when we leave (although the pet sitters really do like a time!). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wish the Weekly Wrap Happy … Continue reading Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Weather stalking. Cross training. Lots of baking -- I needed to restock the pantry! Humidity. All easy runs that never feel easy due to the weather. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home as I'm winding down (or is that up?) for my first race past … Continue reading Enjoying single digit runs: 8/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
It was a miserable week when it came to running. Although the heat wave broke mid week, the humidity didn't -- not until my 10k on Saturday. Then we were blessed with temps we haven't seen in weeks and cloudy skies. It was also a week filled with friendly getogethers, family, and maybe a bit … Continue reading Slogging through Summer: 8/6 – 12 Weekly Wrap
