I started to work on a "top 10 videos of 2021" video for my YouTube channel, so decided it would be fun to have a look at the top 10 posts on this blog. Only it's a personal blog, with no plugins, so not so easy to see the most viewed posts from just 2021. … Continue reading 10 Most Viewed Posts in 2021

Getting What I Need: 12/27 – 1/2 WRD
Pretty sure I've used that title before! I was supposed to be at my moms for New Years. Then a couple of days before there were several cases of COVID in the workers, the day before more and cases in the residents as well. It was a difficult decision, but I decided to stay home. … Continue reading Getting What I Need: 12/27 – 1/2 WRD
Clearly wrapping up 2021
Every New Year's for the last few years, I think to myself, this year will be better. Every year seems worse than the one before that! I started detailing all the stuff that's happened in the last five years, but truly, it just sounded whiny to me. It's never been all bad, and I absolutely … Continue reading Clearly wrapping up 2021
A Plan B Kind of Week: 12/20 – 26 WRD
I did have a reaction to the booster, but it wasn't as bad as with the second shot, thankfully. Still ran a fever for roughly 24 hours which kept me on the couch all last Sunday. Couldn't even walk Bandit -- and therefore Bandit refused to walk with Mr. Judy. He often refuses to walk … Continue reading A Plan B Kind of Week: 12/20 – 26 WRD

Got Boosted: 12/13 – 19 WRD
Warmer temps earlier in the week degrading into a day of Wintry mix (the worst!) yesterday. Not a running day for me, but I did have to go out to get my booster. Thankfully it was warm enough so that the roads were fine, although that Wintry mix continued to fall as the sun and … Continue reading Got Boosted: 12/13 – 19 WRD
5 Simple Tips for Running through the Holidays
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere -- and in particular a cold, windy, snowy area like I do -- running through the holidays can feel like a real challenge. Even if you live in sunny Florida, even in a normal year (and we all know that there's been no normal years lately!), running through … Continue reading 5 Simple Tips for Running through the Holidays
The Rain Washed it All Away: 12/6 – 12 WRD

7 Tips for Treadmill Shopping
It's been about 20 years since I bought my treadmill. I did a lot of research at the time, even though I was not yet running -- not even close. I wanted to be able to walk more during the heat of a TX Summer (and not be eaten up by mosquitoes!). If you're shopping … Continue reading 7 Tips for Treadmill Shopping
