With lots of family (unpictured obviously) it was a very happy birthday Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we were truly unsure if my mom would even see 2022, much less her 94th birthday, but here we are. Being on Hospice and not having to go to doctors has helped to stabilize her. The name of the … Continue reading Happy 94, Mom!: 3/7 – 13 WRD

Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD
My heart was heavy much of this week, as I'm sure was the case for many people. What is going on in the Ukraine reminds me of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising -- if you're not familiar with it, google it. I think the world is in a different place now, though, or at least I … Continue reading Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD
Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD
My trip to my mom went relatively smoothly. Oh sure, lots of stuff to do for her, but I even got some of my own stuff done for a change. I was definitely tired when I got home yesterday afternoon! Didn't stop me from running today. Luckily I'd preloaded most of my running earlier in … Continue reading Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD
I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
Another week where I knew I would have limited time to get in fitness. Glad that I decided to do my long run on Monday -- it sure wasn't going to happen after my vaccine! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running into that second vaccine. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (20 min), … Continue reading I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
I had to cram a lot of fitness into the first part of my week this week, so it's been a very busy couple of weeks. I wrote this post as the week went along; so much easier to remember what happened that way. I get my second vaccine next week. Moderna is known for … Continue reading All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
I slowly and steadily eased back into running and strength training in February. Some of that strength training was the never ending shoveling. We were actually quite lucky, no monster storms in February, but there was snow often. It seemed as though it always fell on a running day, so I was often shoveling after … Continue reading We Can Rebuild Her: Runfessions February 2021
Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Snow. Ice. Cold. Not nearly as much as forecast, though -- in fact, much, much less (except the cold part). I was able to run outside twice. My heart goes out to my friends in Austin, even while I'm actually glad (for once!) that we live here and not there. I've been without power. I've … Continue reading Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Running on sunshine: 4/20 – 26 WRD
I'd like to say snow is in our tailview mirror, but not this week. At least there was no accumulation. But there was snow, rain, sleet, and hail oh my! In between all that there was also sunshine, and some days that were breezy instead of super windy. A little sunshine goes a long way! … Continue reading Running on sunshine: 4/20 – 26 WRD
Let’s Return to Spring; Please?: 4/13 – 19 WRD
More snow, but nothing really to write home about. Wind and cold though! Definitely having some shorts/bathing suit photo envy. I'd settle for putting away my Winter clothes, I stare at my closet and I just don't even want to put them on again! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and apologizing for … Continue reading Let’s Return to Spring; Please?: 4/13 – 19 WRD
Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD
Running went quite well this week. Paces are dropping a tad while HR is steady, all while pretty much running by feel. I got in a little more strength training, too. Snow flew, frigidly cold air moved in. Life, however, well, not so great. We have been pushing through getting my Dad into a nursing … Continue reading Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD
