Yet. After a lot of back and forth (I'd feel perfectly fine, then not great -- never terrible, by any means), I do believe I turned the corner -- finally! this week, and feel 100%. Or maybe 95%? My life hasn't changed that much. Not yet, anyway. Of course there are changes, but in general, … Continue reading Life hasn’t changed too much: 3/16-22 WRD
Running
So Your Race Was Canceled
Almost all runners have been effected by race cancellations in recent days. Unless you're one of those runners that just likes to run (there are many!), you're left wondering: I'm all trained up, now what? Or should I keep training for a race that's coming up in a few months? Race virtually I know that's … Continue reading So Your Race Was Canceled
Running down a virus: 3/9-15 WRD
Yes, I was mildly sick last week. Still a little back and forth this week. No fever, no congestion, no coughing, no sneezing (at least no more coughing and sneezing than normal). I don't meet the criteria to be tested, so I haven't been. Out of an abundance of caution I did't go to my … Continue reading Running down a virus: 3/9-15 WRD
Trail Running Maybe?
It's hard to believe that it was 3 years ago that I got the bug to run a trail race. My first. A half. Because . . . chocolate. Not kidding! None of my friends were the least bit interested in trails, so I trained alone. In fact, I ran four halfs that year so … Continue reading Trail Running Maybe?
A little break (hopefully): 3/2-8 WRD
After my run on Tuesday, I just didn't feel well the next day. Nothing serious, basically just fatigue, slight temp, and muscle aches. Unfortunately it persisted the rest of the week. No big goals, so I gave my body some much-needed rest. Hoping to pick up where I left off next week. So very little … Continue reading A little break (hopefully): 3/2-8 WRD
What’s Your Strong?: 2/24-3/1 WRD
With Mr. Judy gone, it was a quiet week. Except for Lola's stomach issues. There wasn't a lot of sleep much of the time he was gone. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, still training, although still unsure that I'll be running a half anytime soon. Maybe. Maybe not. And linking up with … Continue reading What’s Your Strong?: 2/24-3/1 WRD
Not so humble: Runfessions February 2020
February may be my birthday month, and I was happy there was no big snowstorm. That's usually when the big storms hit. I enjoyed all the festivities. I runfess that right now I'm not so much enjoying the running (until last Sunday, when we had almost Spring-like temps, no wind, and sunshine. As I was … Continue reading Not so humble: Runfessions February 2020
That Made Me Stronger: February 2020
I was not familiar with Stevie Nicks' song, That Made Me Stronger. It's true, though, that the tough times we go through make us stronger. You have to go through it; no one else can do it for you -- they can only support you. The last 6 months? Hard. So hard. Did they make … Continue reading That Made Me Stronger: February 2020
Look Ma, No Gloves!: 2/17-23 WRD
No Gaiter, Either! A date was set for the burial. I can do the April half, if I want. But there's still some other stuff going on in my life that means it's still in limbo. You'll have to stay tuned to see how it all turns out. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Look Ma, No Gloves!: 2/17-23 WRD
Add another state?: 2/10-16 WRD
The date for my Dad's burial has been set, and it was arranged so I could run the April half if I want to -- or so I thought. I can still run the April half, but the new potential date means two trips at the end of April. So it's gone from a nice … Continue reading Add another state?: 2/10-16 WRD
