Most of the time my Garmin behaves itself, but every once in a while it really does something funky. My long run this week had a Garmin incident. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and still enjoying mostly great weather this week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (40 min), AM Walk, Lots of walking … Continue reading WTF, Garmin?: 6/6 – 12 WRD
Long Runs
Long Runs: Time or Length?
Long runs can be wonderful confidence boosters, or they can completely suck any confidence you've ever had that you could run a particular distance out of you. No matter how many times you've raced that particular distance! Many of us run our long runs based on distance. But should you? Running for distance: Running for … Continue reading Long Runs: Time or Length?
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
Racing Thoughts: Runfessions November 2019
I'm mining my 15k and my 5k for a few November Runfessions today. The Holidays are going to be pretty low key around here. Thanksgiving at my parents Senior Living Community (please God no drama), we celebrate Hannukah, which is not a big deal. So not a whole lot to runfess when it comes to … Continue reading Racing Thoughts: Runfessions November 2019
There’a a lot to runfess over 10 miles: Runfessions October 2019
I have to admit I'm a little surprised by how many runfessions I could mine from one long run. I probably could have done even more! I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few runfessions off my chest -- and yes, all the photos are from that 10 mile run. I runfess . . … Continue reading There’a a lot to runfess over 10 miles: Runfessions October 2019
Hello October & Fall: 9/30-10/6 WRD
Dad is back in rehab. Seems to be better, but I let my sister take my mom there yesterday. I'll be back down for Yom Kippur this week. There was still a lot of walking this week, but little running, although I ran 9 miles for the first time in a long, long time. Perhaps … Continue reading Hello October & Fall: 9/30-10/6 WRD
The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him. When you're in caretaking mode, you don't realize just how much time that caretaking consumes. I didn't really think that he was that … Continue reading The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 8: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Normally running is my go-to for stress; it has gotten me through many difficult times in my life the last 10 years. I did not want to run this week after we put Giz to sleep, although I did my runs and have kept as active as … Continue reading Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Snow. Check. Ice. Check. Extreme cold. Check. Pouring rain. Check. Mother Nature sure threw a lot at us this week, but I did my best to keep on keeping on. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to … Continue reading Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Alas I think that was our last week with no snow on the paths -- mostly, anyway, as I ran through just a little snow on Friday (yup, we got caught in the big snowstorm today). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll warm up and melt the … Continue reading Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
