Here we go again: more humidity, more rain, and oh yeah, another half. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to conquer NJ (state #19???? -- I'm not quite sure, I really must update my races page one of these days). Turns out it's state 18 … Continue reading Here we go again: 9/24-30 Weekly Wrap

September 2018: Did I pass?
September found me resting from the 1812 Challenge (read about it here), very briefly, then training hard for my next half, which is this weekend. And we traveled to NYC to celebrate Mr. Judy's birthday the week before my half, which included fasting for Yom Kippur, so it was a whirlwind of a month. I … Continue reading September 2018: Did I pass?
Taking a Bite Out of The Big Apple: 9/17-23 Weekly Wrap
It was a good training week, but man, was it busy and wacky and really not the best way to train! Fasting, travel, and some rough food choices, oh my! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share balancing training for Ocean City Half -- … Continue reading Taking a Bite Out of The Big Apple: 9/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
When did I first start running in a skirt? I have to be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I know I didn't run my first two 5ks in a skirt. Or my first two halfs, for that matter. I believe the first half I ran in a skirt was the Runner's World Half in 2014. … Continue reading Oh, the Places Skirt will Take You!
Happy New Year!: 9/10-16 Weekly Wrap
It was a much quieter week -- figuratively (as in more sleep, less drama) and literally (as in Lola stopped honking, although she's not completely back to normal). Maybe I should have called this "here we go again", because the heat, humidity, and rain came back -- then again, we are not battling a hurricane … Continue reading Happy New Year!: 9/10-16 Weekly Wrap
Let’s hear it for some coolness: 9/3-9 Weekly Wrap
I touched on Lola briefly in my Friday Five post (read about it here), but here's the long lowdown (if you're not interested in the furkids, feel free to skip on down): last Sunday, out of the blue, she started coughing. We were supposed to go to my parents for Labor Day, but it had … Continue reading Let’s hear it for some coolness: 9/3-9 Weekly Wrap
Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap
Rachel @ Runningonhappy had nothing on my schedule this week. Only I'd decided before the 1812 Challenge that if I finished feeling good, I'd be signing up for another half at the end of September. You'll have to read on to find out which one. 😉 I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Can’t stop, won’t stop: 8/27-9/2 Weekly Wrap
August 2018: Did I pass?
August was filled with the most miles I have ever run in what seemed like the most humidity, too. Not to mention warmer than normal temps. Getting in scheduled runs When it came to getting in runs, August was a doozy! Not so much in getting my runs done, but in the never-ending rain and … Continue reading August 2018: Did I pass?
Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
It's always a busy week before a race, but driving instead of flying means that I have more wiggle room with when we leave (although the pet sitters really do like a time!). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wish the Weekly Wrap Happy … Continue reading Racecation Week: 8/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Here be dragons
Before you could see pretty much anywhere on earth via Google maps -- way before -- map makers would write "here be dragons" for unexplored lands/seas. I've always loved that phrase! How far can you go? For many years I've wondered what lies beyond 13.1 miles (or maybe 14.1, because sometimes I do a warm … Continue reading Here be dragons
