Were you this girl? The one that avoided running at all costs? The one that hated running? The one picked last for any team? The one that went far out into the outfield when we had to play, praying that no one would hit anything out there, because she couldn't hit, catch, or run? Yup, … Continue reading This Adult Onset Athlete’s Story

Our Icicles are Growing: 3/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
Yup, that was 3 nor'easters in 3 weeks. At the moment it looks like the fourth one will miss us next week, but we're still at the third snowiest March since 1888 -- and temps below normal for much of the month, which I can personally attest to this morning. I'm joining up with the Weekly … Continue reading Our Icicles are Growing: 3/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
My Mom’s Big 9-0: 3/5- 11 Weekly Wrap
We survived our second Nor'easter in 2 weeks -- with another one possibly coming our way this coming week. Enough with the snow! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to share how I'm getting back to activity after being sick. Workouts update Monday: Dogwalk Tuesday: Dogwalk, 4 … Continue reading My Mom’s Big 9-0: 3/5- 11 Weekly Wrap
5 Ways Running is Like Crocheting
Crocheting? Running? Has CRJ gone off the deep bend? Well, that may be debatable, but sometimes it's good to have a little fun with your running -- and your blog. My mind is a strange place that likes to come up with analogies. Think crocheting and knitting have nothing to do with running? Despite the … Continue reading 5 Ways Running is Like Crocheting
February 2018: Did I pass?
I know TOTR is no longer doing monthly grades, but I liked the idea so I'm keeping it. You'd think a month with almost no miles run would be short. You'd think wrong! Getting in scheduled runs I can't fail myself on this one, even though I'm not sure I've ever had such a low … Continue reading February 2018: Did I pass?
Be careful what you wish for: 1/29- 2/4 Weekly Wrap
I started the week fairly determined to run outside every day. And my wish was granted. Be careful what you wish for eh? On Friday I started to feel tired in the afternoon, but I did a lot around the house. Saturday I woke up with a sore threat and mildly elevated resting heart rate. … Continue reading Be careful what you wish for: 1/29- 2/4 Weekly Wrap
January 2018: Did I pass?
I started out the year slowly, not feeling 100% for several weeks. I was never very sick, just enough that I needed more rest than usual. As the month went on and I got back to normal my activity got back to normal, too. Not much going on this month. Getting in scheduled runs I … Continue reading January 2018: Did I pass?
I ran out of ice: 1/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
Songs that involved ice, that is. I tried to look up new ones but nothing caught my fancy. Ice seemed to play somewhat prominently in this week. This felt like the first normal activity week in a long, long time. And no shoveling, either, which was a blessing (although the remnants tried to take me … Continue reading I ran out of ice: 1/22- 28 Weekly Wrap
Throwing out the Android: 1/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
Nothing super eventful about this week. Three of my four runs were actually outside -- despite getting dumped on with snow earlier in the week. I ran once with Darlene, who had MLK Day off, which hasn't happened in a while. And met up with the remnants of the Wineglass girls for a group run … Continue reading Throwing out the Android: 1/15- 21 Weekly Wrap
Another one bites the dust: 1/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
Race streak, that is. I've been doing the New Year's Day "race" since 2011; I ran this race before I'd even run my first half! First it got pushed from New Years Day to today due to the extreme cold on New Years Day. Turned out to be just as cold today, and despite the … Continue reading Another one bites the dust: 1/8- 14 Weekly Wrap
