This week Yom Kippur fell mid week. Yom Kippur is about atoning for your sins, and asking forgiveness for the same. You are supposed to fast for 24 hours -- including no drinking. At all. We do fast, but we both drink. I'm sure God will forgive me for not wanting to be dehydrated. That … Continue reading All About Letting Go: 10/3 – 9 WRD
Long Run
Looking for Color: 9/26 – 10/2 WRD
While I didn't get a major reaction to the booster, it seems it's not done with me. This week I alternated between feeling okay and not okay, but I got my runs in and also got an easy hike in as well. I am trying to catch the Fall color, but yes, it's early days … Continue reading Looking for Color: 9/26 – 10/2 WRD
Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
Yes, I got boosted. All my other shots have been Moderna, and I had horrible reactions to them and ongoing fatigue and sometimes joint pain for weeks afterwards. This time there was just a very slight reaction and I felt relatively back to normal pretty quickly. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Thank you, Pfizer!: 9/19 – 25 WRD
How Long is Your Long Run Really?
I was walking Bandit one day last week, thinking about my "long-er" runs and how much more manageable short long runs seem (if that makes sense). I had already decided on this topic for todays post, then I was texting with another runner friend. She is also not running very long these days or racing, … Continue reading How Long is Your Long Run Really?
Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
Wednesday had a high of 50F! Perfect running weather. I went to visit my mom; I got to enjoy the warmer weather on my hike there, but there was no time to run. I notice how much more birdsong there is these days, and the days staying light longer. Spring takes a long time to … Continue reading Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
What’s Your Strong?: 2/24-3/1 WRD
With Mr. Judy gone, it was a quiet week. Except for Lola's stomach issues. There wasn't a lot of sleep much of the time he was gone. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, still training, although still unsure that I'll be running a half anytime soon. Maybe. Maybe not. And linking up with … Continue reading What’s Your Strong?: 2/24-3/1 WRD
RIP, Dad: 1/20-26 WRD
When last we talked, I had just come home from visiting my Dad. As it turned out he passed away just a few hours later, and regular readers of this blog know that it was indeed a blessing. I went back the next day and have stayed with my Mom until today, helping with all … Continue reading RIP, Dad: 1/20-26 WRD
The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
And just like that, 2017 is almost over. But it ain't over til the fat lady sings. You might just feel like the fat lady after Thanksgiving Shenanigans -- that's okay; holidays are meant to be enjoyed. But they're called holidays for a reason -- don't let one day stretch into an entire month. This … Continue reading The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
Happy Anniversary to Us!: 10/16-22 Weekly Wrap
32 years. My God, we were just kids. Seriously. To put that into perspective, though, my parents will be celebrating seventy years soon.

Workouts update Monday: Dogwalk, 4 easy trail miles, YFPR Knees Tuesday: Dogwalk, 4 miles easy grass miles … Continue reading Happy Anniversary to Us!: 10/16-22 Weekly Wrap
Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
That's what training is: beta testing. Do these clothes feel good (and don't chafe)? Does that fuel sit well in my stomach? How should I carry my water? NOLA was easy to pack for, but this race is much trickier, and while I'm trying not to check a bag because we'll be there less than … Continue reading Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
