Just rebuilding my base, and considering how I want to stay fit going forward. I've been toying with the idea of alternating weeks with 2 runs and the next 3 runs, filling in with cycling (indoors, since I still don't like real bikes!). Haven't decided yet. Meanwhile Mother Nature is gifting us some spectacular weather, … Continue reading Sunny Skies Ahead: 5/22 – 28 WRD

Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023
I explain my displeasure with Peloton's new pricing for their app in my last point. Suffice it to say if you want to avail yourself of cardio classes (and you don't already own Peloton equipment), your monthly fee will double: Based on Peloton’s data from its most recent financial quarter, more than half of all … Continue reading Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023
Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD
Alternate title: Baby Steps My Garmin tells me I got enough intensity minutes this week. You know how you're supposed to get about 150 intensity minutes, and if you run, even low mileage, you are way beyond that. I found it hard to believe that I had enough even before today's run, but I'll take … Continue reading Back at it (a little): 5/15 – 21 WRD
Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023
I had to deal with a slight setback to running in April. I am not training for anything, but I just want to keep my running base. Is that really too much to ask? I runfess . . .I was thinking about running my first race of 2023 last weekend. It's a race I did … Continue reading Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023
Suddenly Summer: 4/10 – 16 WRD
Yup, we jumped right over Spring and into Summer with several days of record breaking heat. Very reminiscent of when we moved in here 14 years ago (also in April). How did that go for me? Some perspective: today Facebook told me 2 & 9 years ago it snowed on this day I'm joining Kim … Continue reading Suddenly Summer: 4/10 – 16 WRD
Spring is blowing in?: 4/3 – 9 WRD
Wind and cold was definitely the name of the game this week and there were some short, brutal runs (but all were outside). This coming week looks gorgeous! To all that celebrate any holiday, may it be peaceful and filled with love. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and fighting that wind. … Continue reading Spring is blowing in?: 4/3 – 9 WRD
Spring is a Bumpy Ride: 3/27 – 4/2 WRD
The temps dropped 40 degrees over night. Goodbye Spring, "welcome back" Winter. Gratefully it's just a bump in the road on the way to "real" Spring. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and slowly adding on a little mileage. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (40 min), Dogwalk, PB ST (25 min) Tuesday: Yoga (40 … Continue reading Spring is a Bumpy Ride: 3/27 – 4/2 WRD
The Running Gods Laugh: Runfessions March 2023
I sat down to write this post on Monday, and nothing was coming. I've got nothing, I thought. Running may be short & sweet (and slow) but it's going fairly well. Never tempt the Running Gods . . . but first can we talk car alarms? I runfess . . .I did something this week … Continue reading The Running Gods Laugh: Runfessions March 2023
It’s a Bird; No, it’s . . . : 3/20 – 26 WRD
It took all week but the snow mostly melted and I was even able to run on the bike path again. Read on down to this week's Favorites to see what I saw while running on Wednesday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and slowly adding on a little mileage. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading It’s a Bird; No, it’s . . . : 3/20 – 26 WRD
Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
Hoping this was the last big storm -- and by big, I mean the biggest storm of the Winter. More branches came down, but the fence held, and so did our power (although many were not that lucky). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and another decent week of fitness with two … Continue reading Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
