There wasn't much going on this week. I realized part of why my paces was so slow in my trail race last week -- I was coming down with something. Not apparently COVID, and not terrible, but enough to make me rest a lot, especially since I have to go to my moms a few … Continue reading Rolling with the River: 8/22 – 28 WRD

Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
Sometimes that's literally hitting the trails, as in falling onto them. Thankfully the falls are not often. My worst fall ever was on pavement. Not as pretty as the last cloud photo I took in this spot but still nice I runfess . . .I am really loving all the shade on the trails I've … Continue reading Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022
It’s been a tough week on the old body: 8/15 – 21 WRD
A daytrip, friend gatherings, and a race. We did go from beautiful in the beginning of the week, which is why I made a last minute decision to get out of town a bit, to very hot and humid this week. Good thing I've been working hard on my mental game! I also sliced my … Continue reading It’s been a tough week on the old body: 8/15 – 21 WRD
Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
There seemed to be deer everywhere I looked this week: in my neighborhood, where I ran, and where I stopped on the way to visit my mom -- deer sightings three days in a row. Despite all the sightings, the only photo I took was not even worth sharing. Y'all know what deer look like. … Continue reading Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
The Rule of Thirds
I listened to Bravey by Alexi Pappas (Amazon Affiliate link here) while driving back and forth to my mom. I didn't follow Alexi closely, but I'd heard of her, so let's just say a lot of her memoir was news to me. The rule of thirds stuck with me. I'm linking up with My First … Continue reading The Rule of Thirds
Chipping Away at To-dos: 8/1 – 7 WRD
Except for the heatwave a relatively quiet week. My to-do lists were quite long, but my motivation wasn't strong -- I blame the heat! Good thing I prioritize the three most important things. They usually get done. I chip away at the rest. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and easing back … Continue reading Chipping Away at To-dos: 8/1 – 7 WRD
Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
I had already decided to take a week off running this week -- good thing, too, because I can't even begin to tell you how exhausted I was when I got back from my moms mid week. It's always tiring, but throw in that extreme heat -- wowza! I sincerely hope that I don't have … Continue reading Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
Smile and maybe tomorrow . . .: Runfessions July 2022
. . . You'll see the sun come shining through for you I just love that song (Charlie Chaplin if you didn't know) I runfess . . .I invested in a couple of pairs of new running shoes during Prime Days. I will usually go through about 4-5 pairs a year and it was time. … Continue reading Smile and maybe tomorrow . . .: Runfessions July 2022
Compassion: July 2022
Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering. -- Dalai Lama The above quote rang really true for me. Not just for my mom, either. We'll leave it at that. How did July go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsRunning was going pretty well until we got to the second half of July … Continue reading Compassion: July 2022
Just Play It Cool, Boy!: 7/18 – 24 WRD
Can you name that movie? I was a little disappointed that the recent remake was very similar to the original movie. It was good, but why make it if you're not adding something original? It did add a little, but truly mostly it seemed very similar -- to me, anyway. I hope that you've been … Continue reading Just Play It Cool, Boy!: 7/18 – 24 WRD
