September found me resting from the 1812 Challenge (read about it here), very briefly, then training hard for my next half, which is this weekend. And we traveled to NYC to celebrate Mr. Judy's birthday the week before my half, which included fasting for Yom Kippur, so it was a whirlwind of a month. I … Continue reading September 2018: Did I pass?

August 2018: Did I pass?
August was filled with the most miles I have ever run in what seemed like the most humidity, too. Not to mention warmer than normal temps. Getting in scheduled runs When it came to getting in runs, August was a doozy! Not so much in getting my runs done, but in the never-ending rain and … Continue reading August 2018: Did I pass?
July 2018: Did I pass?
I completed State #17 & Half #19 in July. I started the month strong with a course PR at my annual 4th race, despite very hot conditions (read the recap here). We finally had a very much-needed vacation (aka my racecation). But . . . how did July really go? Getting in scheduled runs I … Continue reading July 2018: Did I pass?
June 2018: Did I pass?
The weather kept going back and forth from hot and humid to unseasonably cool in June. I'm pretty sure hot and humid won out, for the most part. The turtle I found on one long run was most definitely my spirit animal for some runs this month! I seemed to find my mojo in most … Continue reading June 2018: Did I pass?
May 2018: Did I pass?
The weather turned much nicer in May -- sometimes -- although there was still a lot of rain. My runs are getting done, they've been strong, and my body feels generally good. Yet I've been slacking in a lot of areas and just not motivated to do a lot of the chores that need to … Continue reading May 2018: Did I pass?
April 2018: Did I pass?
April wasn't as busy as March, but the weather -- well, you know. It had me feeling kind of meh for a lot of the month -- but not actively sick. April also ushered in my first race of 2018 & there's actually another race on the schedule for this weekend. And yes, I know … Continue reading April 2018: Did I pass?
March 2018: Did I pass?
We celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday. Then we will celebrate with her again and my Dad's 92nd birthday as well, with the whole immediate family. I tried new stuff and yeah, I shoveled a lot of snow (in fact, there's still snow on the grass, even though the last big storm missed us. Thank God). … Continue reading March 2018: Did I pass?
February 2018: Did I pass?
I know TOTR is no longer doing monthly grades, but I liked the idea so I'm keeping it. You'd think a month with almost no miles run would be short. You'd think wrong! Getting in scheduled runs I can't fail myself on this one, even though I'm not sure I've ever had such a low … Continue reading February 2018: Did I pass?
January 2018: Did I pass?
I started out the year slowly, not feeling 100% for several weeks. I was never very sick, just enough that I needed more rest than usual. As the month went on and I got back to normal my activity got back to normal, too. Not much going on this month. Getting in scheduled runs I … Continue reading January 2018: Did I pass?
November 2017: Did I pass?
I ran two races in November, a 15k and a 3.5 mile Turkey Trot, and yes, much like last year in November, I PR'd them both. Clearly I need a half in November or December next year! But PRs don't tell the whole story. Let's get the rest of the story. Getting in scheduled runs … Continue reading November 2017: Did I pass?
