As you become more clear about who you are, you'll be better able to decide what's best for you -- the first time around -- Oprah Winfrey I love the above quote. Being clear on who you are, what your values are, what feels right for your body -- it's a journey, to be sure, … Continue reading Becoming Clear on who I am: November 2021
Running
Free at last!: 11/22 – 28 WRD
I managed to escape completely unscathed from jury duty! For the last 30 years, I've been called regularly and usually picked. Very grateful to break that cycle. No Turkey Trot for me since we were on the road by the time any race would have started. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, … Continue reading Free at last!: 11/22 – 28 WRD
Do you need to dress differently for a short run?
I mean a recovery run -- which will be much shorter than even your easy runs. It should be much slower than your easy runs, too. Many runners start streaking at this time of year, trying to make sure they keep up their fitness through the holidays. Often that means quite a few days will … Continue reading Do you need to dress differently for a short run?
If it makes you happy. . .: 11/15 – 21 WRD
You may notice there was a lot of Yoga video filming going on this week. Even very early in the morning. That's because for the first time in almost 2 years, Mr. Judy went to see his mom and sister (who live outside of Seattle). We'll get to the stuff that made me happy this … Continue reading If it makes you happy. . .: 11/15 – 21 WRD
My Biggest Takeaway from My Worst Race
Eight years ago I ran my worst half marathon. It wasn't just one of my worst finish times, it was hands down the worst half marathon I ever ran -- and I've run a few doozies! Including the race pictured above. I didn't injure myself, but I had GI issues, which I never have -- … Continue reading My Biggest Takeaway from My Worst Race
Getting the most out of Fall: 11/8 – 14 WRD
Unfortunately the storm clouds were metaphorically (and literally!) moving in again this week, although the actual weather was mostly quite nice -- except Friday & Saturday, maybe this evening. There were definitely some bright spots to the week, though! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and enjoying the sunshine this week. Literally … Continue reading Getting the most out of Fall: 11/8 – 14 WRD
3 Things Learned from a Great Race
Five years ago I ran a half marathon with some fellow bloggers in Florida. At the time it was a long awaited PR -- it didn't even feel hard. It also kicked off a year of PRs in halfs. It was also the start of a lot of turmoil in my life -- the ongoing … Continue reading 3 Things Learned from a Great Race
Grateful for Simple Things: 11/1 – 7 WRD
I apologize for last week. I had a bit of a meltdown. I literally felt like I was walking around with a dark cloud hanging over me. Things have been looking up this week. Mr. Judy fixed the dishwasher. The new phone got mailed arrived (today). I had two solo walk/hikes and didn't get lost. … Continue reading Grateful for Simple Things: 11/1 – 7 WRD
A Clear Conscience: October 2021
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.-- Steven Wright My conscience is usually pretty clear, and it's clear that my memory isn't always great -- except when it is. Mostly I chose this quote because it made me laugh. I get what he meant, but it's my blog and I'm spinning … Continue reading A Clear Conscience: October 2021
Are We Done Yet???: 10/25 – 31 WRD
The beginning of the week was spent at Lake Minnewaska State Park, and despite the meh weather (including a Nor'easter) it was amazing! I can't wait to go back someday and explore more. If you follow me on FB here you'll see a lot more photos of our hikes there. The subject, unfortunately, refers to … Continue reading Are We Done Yet???: 10/25 – 31 WRD
