I was kind of dragging when I ran with Darlene on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon I was exhausted. I took it easy on Wednesday, but I still felt really tired by the afternoon. Thankfully by the end of the week, despite some unexpected healthy problem with my Dad, I was feeling better and that meant better … Continue reading Getting it done: 1/16-22 Weekly Wrap
Running
Second verse, same as the first
So many people love their winter sports: skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, ice skating. Me? Not so much. Why do you think I don't want to live somewhere cold & snowy? We're talking winter activities on the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy. I must runfess, though, that my winter activities … Continue reading Second verse, same as the first
Running: the dance of love
Involvement: to commit emotionally Anyone that dives into running will almost always form a love/hate relationship with running. In the beginning, there might be a lot more hate than love. Involvement in the sport of running, though, somehow transforms that hate into love -- if you don't quit after your first run or race. The 'dance … Continue reading Running: the dance of love

I get to run: 12/19-25 Weekly Wrap

Slacker or wise? :12/12-18 Weekly Wrap
You be the judge! I have been slackingrecovering this week. I was feeling better, but still really wiped out. Like everything tired me out. I got back to running, but just couldn't motivate myself to do much more. The polar vortex probably had something to do with that. I am linking up with the Weekly … Continue reading Slacker or wise? :12/12-18 Weekly Wrap

Because I was going to run my last half of the year in FL, and although I was praying for a cold snap, I … Continue reading Panama City Beach Half Marathon Race Recap 12/3/16
#holottarest:12/5-12/11 Weekly Wrap
This might just be my shortest weekly wrap ever. Because basically, there's almost nothing to report. I came home late Monday night last week and by Tuesday I was running a low grade fever.
