Who wouldn't love a taper? Only a crazy person! Of course there are a lot of crazy runners out there. Runners who run because it lets them run off the crazies. They're typically the ones that go stir crazy during the taper. Not me, nope. I'm an active person now, but it's not really my … Continue reading Embrace the taper!

Packing it Up: 7/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
And taking it on the road. Most of this week was spent getting ready for our upcoming trip. It was its usual slog. And why did my dentist appointment have to fall a couple of days before we left? How about the moment I was afraid I'd lost my license (I didn't)? I'm joining up … Continue reading Packing it Up: 7/9 – 15 Weekly Wrap
Let’s taper, shall we?: 7/2 – 8 Weekly Wrap
The theme for this week -- until the weekend -- was unbearable heat and humidity. I am not at all ashamed that two of my runs ended up on the treadmill. Recently a relatively young runner died in a race due to heat stroke. And I saw someone go down right in front of me … Continue reading Let’s taper, shall we?: 7/2 – 8 Weekly Wrap
Hello Taper!: 9/11-17 Weekly Wrap
I love me some taper. Seriously. I am so ready for mine. Y'all, I started training for halfs in March of 2016 with almost no breaks at all since then. So many do more, but that's a lot for me!

Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
You'll notice, probably, that there wasn't as much activity as normal. Not a lot of dog walking. Not much cross training. Not as much strength work. Yes, a lot of that was due to the blizzard, because when I wasn't running on the treadmill, I was shoveling. Maybe Stella came along at a good time … Continue reading Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
5 hacks to replace eggs when baking
I am not vegan; no, I'm not even vegetarian. Yet I often do eat vegan and vegetarian -- I also eat meat, cheese, and fish; but I try to limit the meat and cheese, as I don't consider them the healthiest options. I do eat a lot of eggs, but as I said, I like … Continue reading 5 hacks to replace eggs when baking

How to distract yourself during the taper
Tapers: love em or hate em, they're gonna arrive and you have to get through them. Hopefully intact. This is actually next week's topic, but since I have something else planned for next Tuesday and I happen to be in my taper currently, let's talk a little bit on how to distract yourself during your taper. … Continue reading How to distract yourself during the taper
Time to stop complaining . . .: 9/26-10/2 Weekly Wrap
. . . about the weather, that is. Except the lack of sun, but hey, it's the northeast and you better get used to that cause it could snow in a month. Or sooner. Seriously. I spent a lot of my week acting like an ostrich, not wanting to call or email my sister for … Continue reading Time to stop complaining . . .: 9/26-10/2 Weekly Wrap
