. . . and sometimes it doesn't feel so great This Thanksgiving was bittersweet, in more ways than one. Bitterly cold, for example, which had me running on the treadmill instead of in a Turkey Trot. I've run in weather that cold, but it was just not calling to me this year. Also bittersweet because … Continue reading Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap

Why I’m grateful for running
There are so many benefits to running, but this Thanksgiving I'm grateful that running gets me out there in nature. I won't run through everything, but I have run in some pretty hot conditions, in a Nor'easter, into the single digits, into wind that almost blew me into Lake Champlain, occasionally in snow storms -- … Continue reading Why I’m grateful for running
Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
It seemed like all the races were canceled this weekend. At least the ones I was interested in, anyway. Some of the Sole Sisters got together to run, but frankly, I need all the time I can get before Thanksgiving so it's probably just as well those races were canceled. In case you missed it, … Continue reading Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap

Life after Goal Races: 10/29- 11/4 Weekly Wrap
You'll probably notice I was a bit of a slug this week. And I'm okay with that. Kind of wished I'd done a little yoga but I didn't and that's just the way it is.

October 2018: Did I pass?
October was a lot less busy than September, and after a couple of months of travel -- mostly fun stuff -- I was ready for a slower pace. If you follow me on Instagram here, you know that I did run a half marathon on Cape Cod this weekend. In a Nor'easter. I was … Continue reading October 2018: Did I pass?
State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
. . . Well no, MA is a repeat state for me, so just two new states added this year (ID & NJ). However, Mr. Judy (more so than me!) and I have spent many happy hours on the Cape, as his parents retired to there (but then moved away about the time we moved … Continue reading State Number . . . : 10/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
Last Half Training for 2018: 10/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
Thankfully no snow here yet but the temps are cold enough for it overnight! Too soon, Mother Nature, far too soon.

Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Fall arrived in a big way this week, but not before Summer battled for it and almost finished me off. Seriously, a couple of days with highs in the low 80s, a super humid run, then temps plummeting to the point where you're trying to figure out how to dress for running outside. I'm joining … Continue reading Weather Whiplash, Again!: 10/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
