The mosquitoes, that is. I'd stopped burning incense, kept filming videos, and everything seemed fine. Until I got nailed again. I suppose it's better than a couple of feet of snow! I runfess . . .I am so happy I'm not sporting mosquito bites every time I step outside anymore (obviously written right before I … Continue reading They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023

Happy New Year: 9/11 – 17 WRD
We're not really very observant, but I made chicken, bought a Challah, and made some baked apples to usher in a sweet new year. I have no delusions that 2024 will be a wonderful year, but we did have a potential fun trip dangled out to us for a destination wedding potentially. It's a long … Continue reading Happy New Year: 9/11 – 17 WRD
It was an Oven: 9/4 – 10 WRD
It was a stressful week with a couple of appointments for Bandit and a visit to my mom, but it ended on a high note for Bandit. The 4 day heatwave wasn't fun, but we made it through. I don't want my Summer back, but Fall is definitely welcome! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading It was an Oven: 9/4 – 10 WRD
Blue Moon Bringing me down?: 8/28 – 9/3 WRD
I actually wanted to do my long run on Wednesday, which would have been a pretty good day for it -- except for the morning thunderstorms. I just keep telling myself I'm not training for anything . . . Then I wanted to do a recovery run after my long run. Sure, I could've done … Continue reading Blue Moon Bringing me down?: 8/28 – 9/3 WRD
Buzzing with Sunshine: 8/21 – 27 WRD
It wasn't sunny all week long -- of course there was some rain! -- but sunflowers will cheer up anybody. A fun day with a friend, short and sweet running, and strength. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and taking it easy this week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), 3 miles with … Continue reading Buzzing with Sunshine: 8/21 – 27 WRD
I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Of mosquitoes. So why am I so tasty to mosquitoes? This article here made for interesting reading. I'm a heavy sweater -- it seems to be almost the only criteria I really fit. Except that, like many runners, I do enjoy a banana sometimes. I wish there was a way to avoid being bitten without … Continue reading I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
It was a busy week (for me, for some this would be all in a day!). We saw Mission Impossible and I gathered with my running friends outside of running for the first time pretty much since the Pandemic. Plus a little drive for lobster rolls & ice cream. So how did running go? I'm … Continue reading Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
Mosquitoes 6, Me 1: 8/7 – 8/13 WRD
I didn't mention the fact that Mr. Judy was off visiting his mom last week, since I don't like to broadcast that -- that was the main reason for a lack of sleep mid week. He came back in the middle of the night before my Wednesday run. The title refers to the fact that … Continue reading Mosquitoes 6, Me 1: 8/7 – 8/13 WRD
Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
At the beginning of the week it was beginning to feel -- and actually look -- a lot like Fall. Yes, I've noticed a few trees already beginning to turn. A very welcome break from the heat, humidity, bad air, and rain of most of July. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
It was another busy week, but this time at least there were some fun things on the calendar! Normally I'd be going to see my mom again next week, but when a BBQ took my sister there this week, I decided I could use a little breather. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
