Last Sunday it was goodbye to my high school friend's mother. This week it was goodbye to Mr. Judy's uncle. Although relatively young (early 80s) and relatively healthy, he'd been in the hospital with pancreatitis almost a month. They were actually talking about him going home -- and then in a few days he was … Continue reading Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD

Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023
2023 running is off to a rocky start. I thought I was doing everything I could to be off to a better start than last year, but it's actually worse. I know I don't sound like one, but I actually am an optimist. Each year I do have hope it will be better than the … Continue reading Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023
A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD
. . . in a very gray week Another week, another pop up chance to visit my mom. Trying to reframe here! Had nothing to do with her, actually -- I'll talk a bit more about it in the favorites section. Oh, yeah, I ran, too. A teeny bit. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD
Last Runfessions 2022
Running in December started out strong, and then petered out at the end of the month. Since this is a typical Winter pattern for me, I'm not surprised or worried -- I know I can rebuild when the time is right. If I rest now hopefully I'll be back out there running soon in 2023. … Continue reading Last Runfessions 2022
Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD
Sleep was spotty this week, which led to many senior moments. There was a trip to mom, so there was a short hike but a bit less running than I wanted. As usual I just tried to do the best I could. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and wondering why that … Continue reading Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD
All the leaves are brown . . .: 11/28 – 12/4 WRD
. . . and they're all on the ground I had this post almost completely written yesterday (on the desktop). When I went to put in the photos from my phone, somehow all the stuff I'd updated disappeared. So here I am, trying to recreate 90% of the post. The week started out rough with … Continue reading All the leaves are brown . . .: 11/28 – 12/4 WRD
A Balanced Week: 11/21 – 27 WRD
Despite two lost days this week (Thanksgiving & going to the movies) I actually did have a good week fitness-wise. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner sharing a week where I felt I had a nice balance of rest and activity -- despite the holiday and the movie eating up two days … Continue reading A Balanced Week: 11/21 – 27 WRD
Travel & Winter: Runfessions November 2022
I didn't think I'd be writing Winter runfessions in November, but apparently Mother Nature had some other ideas. Because after a lovely Indian Summer at the beginning of the month, Mother Nature took a really nasty turn. Speaking of nasty turns, how bout those prices? Yup, that's a runfession too! I runfess . . .While … Continue reading Travel & Winter: Runfessions November 2022
Winter Arrives: 11/14 – 20 WRD
I should have titled this "spinning my wheels), because it felt like a busy week, but there were many things I didn't get done. I (personally) find it really hard to be as productive in the shorter days. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and enjoying less mileage. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (20 … Continue reading Winter Arrives: 11/14 – 20 WRD
Reunited & It Feels So Good: 11/7 – 13 WRD
Reunited with: Bandit Home The neighborhood My stationary bike The trails Take your pick! Actually I do enjoy the stationary bike warmup, so that's what the title originally referred to. I'm dropping running back down, although still going to do the long-ish run on the trails -- probably not too much longer (snow, etc.) but … Continue reading Reunited & It Feels So Good: 11/7 – 13 WRD
