But sometimes you get what you need Things with Bandit are pretty status quo. I got all my runs in. And then I got something I really, really needed -- but you'll have to keep reading to find out what that was. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia … Continue reading You don’t always get what you want: 7/11-17 Weekly Wrap

Sadly, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 7/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Bandit has not worked out. At all. And yet right now, he's still living with us.Thankfully I have a lot of friends who know a lot of other people involved in dog rescue, and I am working really, really hard to get the word out about Bandit and save his life. Literally. I don't want … Continue reading Sadly, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 7/4-10 Weekly Wrap
How Running is Like a New Dog
Today's topic was absolutely perfect for me -- how to choose your races. I put a lot of thought into choosing my halfs, and I will write about that someday, but my life got hijacked by a Bandit this weekend, in case you didn't see the Weekly Wrap. It's already turned me back into a … Continue reading How Running is Like a New Dog
What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Doesn't everyone adopt a new dog the night before a race? Well, we don't know if we've really adopted him. If we don't think it's a match, I guess we'll be fostering. But much to my surprise we have two dogs again at the moment. And oh yeah, I ran four times this week. I'm … Continue reading What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Daytrips, blogger meetups, and running, oh my!: 6/20-26 Weekly Wrap

More weather whiplash: 6/13-18 Weekly Wrap
The week started out extremely windy and in the 60s and I was happy to wear a windbreaker on the first run this week. By the end of the week we were over 90. Every state I've ever lived in it's the old "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes". It was a really … Continue reading More weather whiplash: 6/13-18 Weekly Wrap

X marks the spot: 6/6-12 Weekly Wrap
I'm working on upping my cross training game I took it mostly easy this week with running because despite my 5k, it was a low mileage week and I didn't want to bump it up too quickly when I'm not really training for anything yet. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading X marks the spot: 6/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
It's a 5k -- that means the recap ought to be short, right? Wrong! So wrong! So here's the short story: always a fun race that starts too late on a hot day (usually); plenty of water, thank goodness; and while no PR, it was a PB (personal best) for me, for this race. Read … Continue reading Freihofers 5k Race Recap 6/4/16
