Mr. Judy was slated for a short business trip the latter end of the week. The snow/ice had different plans for him, though, and he ended up having to reschedule. I have to admit I was looking forward to just cooking for myself and getting at some projects I wanted to tackle. On the other … Continue reading My Good Samaritan Moment: 2/3-9 WRD

Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD
No big shock, I was very tired the beginning of the week. Last week was intense. Heck, the last half year (and more) was intense. I just wanted to come home & sleep for a million years. Of course life goes on, and even though I have to admit I wasn't super motivated this week, … Continue reading Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD
Nature finds a way: Runfessions January 2020
I'm runfessing and sipping tea all in one post. There wasn't a whole lot of running in January, but that doesn't mean I don't have things to get off my chest. There always seems to be a steady stream of things to tell you and odd things going on in my life. I'll tell you … Continue reading Nature finds a way: Runfessions January 2020
Stronger Every Day: January 2020
Looking through songs with Strong as a theme (or in the Title) was surprising. Many seem to be about breakups, including this month's song, for which I'm going old school with Chicago's "Stronger Every Day" -- the refrain spoke to me. Of course I love the song, and maybe break up songs are kind of … Continue reading Stronger Every Day: January 2020
RIP, Dad: 1/20-26 WRD
When last we talked, I had just come home from visiting my Dad. As it turned out he passed away just a few hours later, and regular readers of this blog know that it was indeed a blessing. I went back the next day and have stayed with my Mom until today, helping with all … Continue reading RIP, Dad: 1/20-26 WRD
Treading water: 1/13-19 WRD
I felt back to normal this week (until today, poor sleep last night, ended up on the couch with Bandit due to Lola making noises), and good thing, too, as we got a call from Hospice that my Dad was worsening and they didn't think he has a lot of time left. Which could mean … Continue reading Treading water: 1/13-19 WRD
Running in skirt: 1/6-12 WRD
I was home all week, which helped, but I've also been quite busy between appointments and prepping to teach and teaching yoga. I felt pretty run down by the end of the week -- mostly due to a week or so of poor sleep -- so I took a lot more rest than usual. Joining … Continue reading Running in skirt: 1/6-12 WRD
Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
Another super challenging week. I actually have hopes that life will get just a little bit better, the reason may seem odd: my Dad is now on Hospice. No, nothing changed, although everything changed. I plan to write more about that next Friday. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and share how I … Continue reading Moving through dark times: 12/30-1/5 WRD
What can change in a decade?
People have been talking so much about 2019 being the close of the decade (or 2020 being the start of a new one). Seems they can't even agree on when a new decade starts. So What can Change in a Decade? A whole lot, it turns out! Saying Goodbye There were many losses in the … Continue reading What can change in a decade?
Love Hurts: December 2019
I got to racing so much in November that apparently I was too busy writing up race recaps and never recapped November! It's my favorite time of year to race, which is why I have so many long sleeve tech shirts (which I like to sleep in). Running has been going well on just three … Continue reading Love Hurts: December 2019
