It has been a long, long time since I've really looked into the future and had any sort of bucket list. This Spring I do! A short getaway . . . maybe even two This move was a temporary assignment for Mr. Judy. 13 years later . . . still, our plan has never been … Continue reading My Spring Bucket List 2022

Happy 94, Mom!: 3/7 – 13 WRD
With lots of family (unpictured obviously) it was a very happy birthday Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we were truly unsure if my mom would even see 2022, much less her 94th birthday, but here we are. Being on Hospice and not having to go to doctors has helped to stabilize her. The name of the … Continue reading Happy 94, Mom!: 3/7 – 13 WRD
The lure of all distances
Some runners like the distance races. Other runners prefer the shorter races. Me? I enjoy the challenges of all the different distances I've tried. The 5k In some ways it seems runners either love or hate the 5k. Short -- but still challenging. You can't go out too fast or you'll most likely be dying … Continue reading The lure of all distances
Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD
My heart was heavy much of this week, as I'm sure was the case for many people. What is going on in the Ukraine reminds me of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising -- if you're not familiar with it, google it. I think the world is in a different place now, though, or at least I … Continue reading Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD
Compassion: February 2022
Compassion is to look beyond your own pain, to see the pain of others. -- Yasmin Mogahed Short, succinct. What a beautiful definition of compassion. From a 13 year old girl, apparently. I showed my mom compassion by buying her the roses for Valentine's Day. It had been a busy, tiring week with all that … Continue reading Compassion: February 2022
Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD
My trip to my mom went relatively smoothly. Oh sure, lots of stuff to do for her, but I even got some of my own stuff done for a change. I was definitely tired when I got home yesterday afternoon! Didn't stop me from running today. Luckily I'd preloaded most of my running earlier in … Continue reading Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD
What can happen in a decade? Part II
Alternative title: Running into my 60sToo much to put into one post! Last week I tackled 2012 - 2017; you can read that here. Now we're on to 2018 - 2022, although in retrospect, 2022 is just starting -- but hey, we're ending with me leaving my 50s behind. Spoiler Alert: the 50s were rocky, … Continue reading What can happen in a decade? Part II
Moving on up: 2/14 – 20 WRD
Normally when you have a big birthday you move up an age group (although sometimes after 70 you're all lumped together -- what's up with that?). Of course, I'd actually have to race to get any benefit from that, and even then, I doubt I'd be rocking AG awards. Luckily it's not why I run. … Continue reading Moving on up: 2/14 – 20 WRD
What can happen in a decade?
Alternative title: Running into my 60sA lot of half marathons, it turns out! By my standards, anyway. Considering I'd just barely begun to run ten years ago. In fact, the halfs were run in seven years, since COVID put a stop to half, for me, for now. This is going to be a long one, … Continue reading What can happen in a decade?
Heavy Lifting: 2/7 – 13 WRD
This little path took about 20 minutes & there’s still ice underneath! By Thursday I had uncovered about 2/3 of the driveway with the help of Mr. Judy -- although poor Bandit didn't get any paths in the backyard. Too frozen, not enough sun, and the driveway was the priority. I wasn't really that sore … Continue reading Heavy Lifting: 2/7 – 13 WRD
