We continued with the weather whiplash in March, and we thought we got a lot of snow in February? Thanks to Blizzard Stella, we got almost twice as much in March. In one day. To say that made running challenging is an understatement. And then there was the cold! So how did I mange my … Continue reading March 2017: Did I pass?

Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Lucky 13? Racecations are both terribly exciting and a little bit crazy, what with all the work that goes into the front end. For some reason this time I found myself oddly calm. Was it all the meditating? Getting so used to "traveling" every week? Getting really organized because of my extra "travel"? No idea, … Continue reading Half #15, State #13: 3/20-26 Weekly Wrap
I want to run like a dog
Or is that live like a dog? Or any animal, really Mindfulness. In the now. Being present. Animals, it seems, are the ultimate yogis. I've actually taken to calling Bandit Mr. Yogi because of his frequent down dogs. Of course Lola does them too, and Gizmo, but it just struck a chord with me with … Continue reading I want to run like a dog
Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
You'll notice, probably, that there wasn't as much activity as normal. Not a lot of dog walking. Not much cross training. Not as much strength work. Yes, a lot of that was due to the blizzard, because when I wasn't running on the treadmill, I was shoveling. Maybe Stella came along at a good time … Continue reading Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
We have nothing to fear . . .
. . . but fear itself Or do we? Striking the balance in training Running is such a simple sport: one foot in front of another, at whatever pace you want. Except every runner knows it isn't really as simple as it appears to the non-runner, even when it doesn't appear simple to the non-runner. … Continue reading We have nothing to fear . . .
Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Indeed Well, March is certainly marching in with plenty of wind (apparently there isn't much truth to the whole in like a lion, out like a lamb rhyme, according to this article from farmer's almanac). If my half is windy, I'll be well prepared. What I won't be prepared for is the heat. Because snow … Continue reading Roaring in: 3/6-12 Weekly Wrap
What goes around . . .: 2/28-3/5 Weekly Wrap
. . . Comes around I'll get to the title in the Favorites of the Week. Nothing super exciting about this week, again, other than the fact that I survived the workouts Rachel @ Runningonhappy cooked up for me and had a real confidence building long run. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading What goes around . . .: 2/28-3/5 Weekly Wrap
Running Keeps Our Minds Nimble
Nimble: marked by quick, alert, clever conception I would love to be able to write a post about how nimble I am as a runner, how light I am on my feet, how easily I hop over obstacles. Except that's not me. Good thing there's another definition of nimble. If I've got food and water, as … Continue reading Running Keeps Our Minds Nimble
February 2017: Did I pass?
I think February might be dubbed the month of self care, as in the month I got back into trying to take better care of myself -- so that I can care for others. The weather was wild and wacky: wind, cold, record breaking heat, killer snowstorms, freezing rain -- yes, all in one month. … Continue reading February 2017: Did I pass?
Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap
Read the title anyway you wish: I'm thankful we got some sunshine and warm temps, or I'm sad that the sunshine (and warm temps) are gone just in time for my long run. Both are true! Nothing super exciting about this week. Good runs, challenging runs, a run with Bandit. The snow finally melted, so … Continue reading Good day, sunshine!: 2/20-27 Weekly Wrap
