Compassion: June 2022

June 28, 2022June 27, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. -- John Holmes Compassion continues to be a struggle. So I picked a great word for me, right? It's not that I'm not compassionate, just that I'm human. How did June go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsRunning continued to … Continue reading Compassion: June 2022

Good Karma 5k Race Recap

June 21, 2022June 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 21 Comments

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

I Tried It: Squirrel’s Nut Butter

June 14, 2022June 12, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

When the anti chafe gel I had been using for years disappeared from Amazon, I was very sad. It had served me well. Now what? I had long heard about Squirrel's Nut Butter (buy it at my Amazon Affiliate link here). It was time to give it a try! If you're a male cyclist, you've … Continue reading I Tried It: Squirrel’s Nut Butter

Summer Bucket List 22

June 7, 2022June 4, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

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

Compassion: May 2022

May 31, 2022May 28, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Compassion is the wish to see others free of suffering. -- The Dalai Lama I consider myself to be a compassionate person, but I'm not going to lie -- sometimes my mother's complaining gets to me, the way she sometimes rewrites history. The quote above is a good reminder to me to just be a … Continue reading Compassion: May 2022

Long Runs: Time or Length?

May 24, 2022May 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

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?

You need a Plan B

May 17, 2022May 13, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 19 Comments

I think about the Plan B a lot -- and not as it applies to racing. As it it applies to "what if I could no longer run again?". What would you turn to if you couldn't run any longer? We all want to be that 90 year old (or older!) runner who is still … Continue reading You need a Plan B

Best Way to See New Places

May 10, 2022May 6, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

I'll let you in on a secret: there really isn't one best way to see new places, but I have a few favorites and I'm going to share the pros and cons of each with you. There are other ways to tour new places, of course, including bike tours, hiking tours, segway tours -- I've … Continue reading Best Way to See New Places

Compassion: April 2022

May 3, 2022May 2, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. -- Ernest Hemingway It's easy to nod your head and say um-hmm while just thinking about what you want to say next -- or eat next, LOL -- right? Especially when you may have been involved in something when the person spoke. This is a reminder … Continue reading Compassion: April 2022

Kiwanis Kingston Classic 5k Race Recap

April 26, 2022April 25, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 31 Comments

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
