Not having goals is like setting out for a road trip without your GPS (which used to be a map, of course). Yet I've been cruising through most of 2016 without much thought to goals. First there was losing Chester, then going through the grief process, things finally started to look up, then there was … Continue reading What’s left to accomplish in 2016?

What makes Chocolaterunsjudy tick:10/3-9 Weekly Wrap
And that would be chocolate, of course! But we'll get to that in the weekly favorites. So because I'll be traveling a lot in the next few months, but "wrapped" up with family business too, follow me on Instagram to find out what shenanigans I'm up to. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading What makes Chocolaterunsjudy tick:10/3-9 Weekly Wrap
Time to stop complaining . . .: 9/26-10/2 Weekly Wrap
. . . about the weather, that is. Except the lack of sun, but hey, it's the northeast and you better get used to that cause it could snow in a month. Or sooner. Seriously. I spent a lot of my week acting like an ostrich, not wanting to call or email my sister for … Continue reading Time to stop complaining . . .: 9/26-10/2 Weekly Wrap
RnR Cape Cod: 9/19-25 Weekly Wrap
No, Rock n Roll is not starting a race in Cape Cod, but don't you think they ought to? I could probably sweet talk Mr. Judy into that. Maybe. Although I told him he likes the idea of the Cape, not so much the reality (driving there is not fun). We needed some time away. … Continue reading RnR Cape Cod: 9/19-25 Weekly Wrap
Aging isn’t for sissies: 9/12-18 Weekly Wrap
Another very, very hard weekend with my parents -- although just the weekend this time, I actually did get to stay home last week and am back home right now. For those that don't read the blog regularly, my parents are basically in their 90s, my mom is recovering from surgery and the recovery has … Continue reading Aging isn’t for sissies: 9/12-18 Weekly Wrap
What can I teach you?
Teach seems like such a simple word, but when I first sat down to write this post, I drew a blank. Can I teach you to run? No, I wouldn't feel qualified, although no doubt I'd give you advice. Can I teach you to eat healthy? Again, no, I wouldn't feel qualified, because what works … Continue reading What can I teach you?
Maddie’s Mark 5k Race Recap 9/10/16
This is the fourth year that I've run this race -- unfortunately they keep moving it earlier in the year, so it's gotten warmer and warmer, and I have gotten slower and slower. But it's still a fun race and I always look forward to it. Packet Pickup There are a few races I trust … Continue reading Maddie’s Mark 5k Race Recap 9/10/16
Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
I made my escape from my parents last weekend, went back early Monday with the intention of leaving Wednesday morning after taking my mom to her doctor's appointment on Tuesday -- an aid came to work on Tuesday and although she's an aid for the house and not a nurse, and doesn't drive as we were … Continue reading Out of the frying pan …: 9/5-11 Weekly Wrap
Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
Last week I wrote that I thought things were looking up -- how wrong I was (as I got into a bit yesterday). I did my best to stay a little active while I was away -- it wasn't easy; the only thing that helped was that my parents don't get moving very fast in … Continue reading Where did summer go?: 8/29-9/4 Weekly Wrap
Navigant Blackstone Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 5/5/13
If you ever ask me what my worst half marathon was, this was it. It wasn't the first time I had knee pain in a race, but it was the first time that it was so bad for months afterward that I didn't think I would be able to do another half marathon. But let's … Continue reading Navigant Blackstone Valley Half Marathon Race Recap 5/5/13
