How could you not want to run a race called Good Karma? Add to that that it's at a park that's quite close to me that I know very well. It's a good cause, too -- from the Website: All net proceeds from the Good Karma 5K Run/Walk will benefit AIM for Seva and the Regional … Continue reading Good Karma 5k Race Recap

Summer Bucket List 22
If you've ever been involved with caretaking, even if you're not the every day caretaker, you probably know that your life is basically not your own. I'm lucky that I have two siblings and we all play our different roles, but things happen when you least expect it and you just have to do it. … Continue reading Summer Bucket List 22
Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap
It's definitely been a hot minute since I did a real life race -- not since the end of 2019. This race was put on my radar by a running friend, who shared it because they donate a book to a child for each registrant -- and it's on the way to my moms. You've … Continue reading Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap
We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
I slowly and steadily eased back into running and strength training in February. Some of that strength training was the never ending shoveling. We were actually quite lucky, no monster storms in February, but there was snow often. It seemed as though it always fell on a running day, so I was often shoveling after … Continue reading We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
So Your Race Was Canceled
Almost all runners have been effected by race cancellations in recent days. Unless you're one of those runners that just likes to run (there are many!), you're left wondering: I'm all trained up, now what? Or should I keep training for a race that's coming up in a few months? Race virtually I know that's … Continue reading So Your Race Was Canceled
Running down a virus: 3/9-15 WRD
Yes, I was mildly sick last week. Still a little back and forth this week. No fever, no congestion, no coughing, no sneezing (at least no more coughing and sneezing than normal). I don't meet the criteria to be tested, so I haven't been. Out of an abundance of caution I did't go to my … Continue reading Running down a virus: 3/9-15 WRD
Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
Another super challenging week. I actually have hopes that life will get just a little bit better, the reason may seem odd: my Dad is now on Hospice. No, nothing changed, although everything changed. I plan to write more about that next Friday. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and share how I … Continue reading Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
Love Hurts: December 2019
I got to racing so much in November that apparently I was too busy writing up race recaps and never recapped November! It's my favorite time of year to race, which is why I have so many long sleeve tech shirts (which I like to sleep in). Running has been going well on just three … Continue reading Love Hurts: December 2019
Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD
Last night (yup, night) was probably my last race for 2019. There was a 5k I considered for next weekend, but the weather right now doesn't look great -- of course that can always change. This week was still a bit light in strength training, but I suppose I made up for that with all … Continue reading Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD
Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019
I got a small break in October (see last month's "grade" herefor what's been going on), but it ramped up at the end of the month with my Dad's discharge from rehab and scrambling to try to find a suitable aide for him. They don't give you much notice. Running continued pretty strong, and since … Continue reading Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019
