Despite two lost days this week (Thanksgiving & going to the movies) I actually did have a good week fitness-wise. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner sharing a week where I felt I had a nice balance of rest and activity -- despite the holiday and the movie eating up two days … Continue reading A Balanced Week: 11/21 – 27 WRD
Thanksgiving
Free at last!: 11/22 – 28 WRD
I managed to escape completely unscathed from jury duty! For the last 30 years, I've been called regularly and usually picked. Very grateful to break that cycle. No Turkey Trot for me since we were on the road by the time any race would have started. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, … Continue reading Free at last!: 11/22 – 28 WRD
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: Runfessions May 2020
I know people hate to say what we have is the new normal, but I think that's the truth until a vaccine or treatment is found. You wouldn't think I'd have much to runfess considering I am not racing, and not running a lot either. Coming clean always feels good, though, doesn't it? Even if … Continue reading What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: Runfessions May 2020
It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
Thanksgiving was spent with my parents, my sister and her kids, plus one of the couples my parents eat with on a regular basis. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great, and I have a strong feeling it might be my Dad's last Thanksgiving, but only time will tell. Not a whole lot of activity … Continue reading It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
November 2018: Did I pass?
When it comes to racing, 2018 was just an odd year. Some highs, some lows, and a lot of races that just didn't happen (but luckily weren't registered for so I lost nothing). Getting in scheduled runs Essentially there were no scheduled runs. No big goal races. Not as much racing as I usually do … Continue reading November 2018: Did I pass?
Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
. . . and sometimes it doesn't feel so great This Thanksgiving was bittersweet, in more ways than one. Bitterly cold, for example, which had me running on the treadmill instead of in a Turkey Trot. I've run in weather that cold, but it was just not calling to me this year. Also bittersweet because … Continue reading Sometimes change is good . . . : 11/19- 25 Weekly Wrap
Why I’m grateful for running
There are so many benefits to running, but this Thanksgiving I'm grateful that running gets me out there in nature. I won't run through everything, but I have run in some pretty hot conditions, in a Nor'easter, into the single digits, into wind that almost blew me into Lake Champlain, occasionally in snow storms -- … Continue reading Why I’m grateful for running
Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
It seemed like all the races were canceled this weekend. At least the ones I was interested in, anyway. Some of the Sole Sisters got together to run, but frankly, I need all the time I can get before Thanksgiving so it's probably just as well those races were canceled. In case you missed it, … Continue reading Bye bye racing; maybe?: 11/12- 18 Weekly Wrap
Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
If all I did the previous week was clean, all I did this week was run the dishwasher! Seriously, it's surprising it didn't burn out (and it is still working fine months after not draining properly). In the past I've gone the paper plates and plastic cups route for Thanksgiving, but since I decided … Continue reading Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
I'd like to say it was a quiet week. I don't mind the cooking/baking for Thanksgiving, but the cleaning? How do you guys clean, work, and have a life? Seriously. It felt like all I did was clean this week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to show that … Continue reading Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
