Another busy week, but some fun things in there. A movie -- I think you might be able to guess which one if you like movies, although it's a nod to the original; a race, and pierogis! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and giving thanks for unseasonably cool weather on race … Continue reading The Need for Speed: 6/13 – 19 WRD

More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD
It was a busy week of errands, visiting mom, and working on projects. A cold front last weekend blew out all the hot air, only to have it come back with a vengeance by week's end. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and going longer again but keeping the "easy" runs short … Continue reading More Weather Whiplash: 5/16 – 22 WRD
Happy Full Moon: 5/9 – 15 WRD
It's Friday as I sit down to write this post. Usually I try to write a bit as the week goes along, but it was a busy week. As usual it's hard to remember what I did yesterday, let alone a few days ago! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and maintaining … Continue reading Happy Full Moon: 5/9 – 15 WRD
Wild Wildlife Week: 5/2 – 8 WRD
Poor little guy Yesterday I let Bandit out. I don't always watch him, but usually I do because I like to know when he's done something. Good thing I did -- he stopped to sniff this little guy, but obediently left him alone when I told him to. I went outside to check him out. … Continue reading Wild Wildlife Week: 5/2 – 8 WRD
Let the Sun Shine: 4/25 – 5/1 WRD
Some days, anyway. More sun then we've seen around here lately, with a truly lovely weekend and I've been spending time soaking up some Vitamin D outside. Sadly no hikes this week, but I think I actually needed a bit more downtime this week. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and keeping … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine: 4/25 – 5/1 WRD
Did I race this week?: 4/18 – 24 WRD

I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running from Winter to Spring -- again! Workouts update Monday: Yoga AM (30 min), hiking Montgomery Place & Falling Waters Preserve, drive home from moms, Yoga … Continue reading Did I race this week?: 4/18 – 24 WRD
Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Happy Easter or Passover if you celebrate! My Icalendar tricked me into thinking Passover began Thursday night. Oops! I know Mr. Judy enjoyed that brisket anyway. Turns out we had a little house drama on Friday, so maybe starting Passover early ended up being a good thing (nothing too dramatic, but annoying & frustrating). Title … Continue reading Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Waterfalls Everywhere: 4/4 – 10 WRD
Nope, there were no hikes this week. The waterfalls in the subject refers to the massive amounts of rain we got, and the fact that the path I ran at a couple of days ago sprouted little waterfalls everywhere. At least it wasn't flooded like one of the paths where we walked last week! I'm … Continue reading Waterfalls Everywhere: 4/4 – 10 WRD
