It was another week of minimal movement. Our trip left me feeling on the verge of coming down with something -- I was pretty sure I just needed some rest, though, and I'm happy to say my diagnosis was correct. But I did run a 5k. I'm keeping mum on how it went because the recap … Continue reading Sometimes it’s ok to go overboard: 5/30-6/5 Weekly Wrap

Empower: To give power to someone
Most of my blogger friends are women. I firmly believe that it is better to build someone up than to tear them down. Women can be catty, snarky, body shaming; the list goes on and on. Yet women can also lift other women up by sharing their knowledge and helping to empower one another, today's … Continue reading Empower: To give power to someone
Getting back to normal: 5/23-29 Weekly Wrap
And we were off again this week -- this time to outside Seattle, to visit with my MIL and SIL (and a blogger meetup -- yay!). By the to you read this we'll be heading home or home already. I did my best to squeeze in fitness where I could. I'm wrapping it up with … Continue reading Getting back to normal: 5/23-29 Weekly Wrap
Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon Race Recap 5/14/16
Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon could have easily been a PR, given the right conditions -- it's the flattest race I've run in the northeast. By far! Although my friend Trudy and I were arguing about that on Saturday -- she thought it was hilly; Mr. Judy heard other runners saying it was hilly. What … Continue reading Shipyard Maine Coast Half Marathon Race Recap 5/14/16
Post race slump: 5/16-22 Weekly Wrap
I was totally unmotivated to do any form of exercise in the beginning of the week. Not even my beloved yoga. I also had the slight problem that I wanted to eat everything in sight, preferably sweets, but I could do a good job chowing down on the mixed nuts I'd bought while we were … Continue reading Post race slump: 5/16-22 Weekly Wrap
Race week!: 5/9-15 Weekly Wrap
This week did not start out well. Too much to do, too little time, and a shattered phone. But did it end well? I guess you'll have to read on. I'm wrapping up my race week with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin. You don't have to be a runner to participate in … Continue reading Race week!: 5/9-15 Weekly Wrap
This Time it was User Error: 5/2-8 Weekly Wrap
This week went a lot better than last week. Sort of. A few annoyances -- like the never ending rain (or so it seemed), the on & off achiness of my ankle, some screw ups with my Garmin. All in all, though, a solid week. I'm wrapping up my week with the Weekly Wrap from … Continue reading This Time it was User Error: 5/2-8 Weekly Wrap
Too Much Brotherly Love?: 4/25-5/1 Weekly Wrap
Damn, I was looking forward to this week. It was supposed to be my highest mileage of this training cycle, my longest run, the second time in months I managed 4 runs in one week, which meant the majority of those runs would be shorter, easy runs. Instead, shortly after I posted last week's wrap … Continue reading Too Much Brotherly Love?: 4/25-5/1 Weekly Wrap
Houston, We Have a Problem: 4/18-24 Weekly Wrap
The title refers to several gear/fuel problems this week. While my ankle felt almost normal all week -- including today, after my 10 mile long run -- I think the real story this week was the lovely weather. Running in tanks and skirts -- I've missed you! I just feel so free when I'm not … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem: 4/18-24 Weekly Wrap
We were trumped: 4/11-17 Weekly Wrap
We celebrated my Dad's birthday again last weekend with a lunch at the Culinary Institute of America for all the grandkids, siblings, my cousin and her husband who live not too far away, and of course, my parents last weekend. So I was on a bit of social media diet this past weekend. Did ya … Continue reading We were trumped: 4/11-17 Weekly Wrap
