Many of you who follow me on Facebook know my mom turned 95 on Friday. Luckily the weather held so we could celebrate with her (along with my sister, my brother, and our spouses). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing a nice mix of fitness this week. Running into Spring. … Continue reading Celebrating a Milestone: 3/6 – 12 WRD

The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
There is a local race called the Icebreaker Challenge. Although I've never run it, the premise is can you beat rowers? It takes place in "Spring", hence the name. Actually this year it takes place on what would have been my Dad's 97th birthday. But no, I'm not planning to run it. However, there was … Continue reading The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
Taking it Outsides (sometimes): Runfessions February 2023
In January, when I got back to running, it was mostly on the treadmill. Time was of the essence and the runs were short. I was fine with that. Moving into the February the runs are still short, but they're growing. Temps were mild (until this week) so I was running outside -- until yesterday's … Continue reading Taking it Outsides (sometimes): Runfessions February 2023
A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
It's so rare that we have nice weather for my birthday. Of course I spent a lot of it in the car, but not having to do all the driving is always a treat -- and the next day was Spring-like. We are back to Winter-like temps today, but it was amazing how much energy … Continue reading A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Looking at the week, it doesn't look like I did that much. Not noted is the three Yoga videos I filmed this week -- finally catching up a bit. I actually cleaned a lot of our windows, too -- it's been bothering me for a while, and the longer days are helping my energy. The … Continue reading Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Last Sunday it was goodbye to my high school friend's mother. This week it was goodbye to Mr. Judy's uncle. Although relatively young (early 80s) and relatively healthy, he'd been in the hospital with pancreatitis almost a month. They were actually talking about him going home -- and then in a few days he was … Continue reading Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023
2023 running is off to a rocky start. I thought I was doing everything I could to be off to a better start than last year, but it's actually worse. I know I don't sound like one, but I actually am an optimist. Each year I do have hope it will be better than the … Continue reading Welcome 2023! Runfessions January 2023
A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD
. . . in a very gray week Another week, another pop up chance to visit my mom. Trying to reframe here! Had nothing to do with her, actually -- I'll talk a bit more about it in the favorites section. Oh, yeah, I ran, too. A teeny bit. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and … Continue reading A Welcome Dose of Sunshine . . . : 1/16 – 22 WRD
Last Runfessions 2022
Running in December started out strong, and then petered out at the end of the month. Since this is a typical Winter pattern for me, I'm not surprised or worried -- I know I can rebuild when the time is right. If I rest now hopefully I'll be back out there running soon in 2023. … Continue reading Last Runfessions 2022
