Trail Running

Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD

December 11, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 19 Comments

Sleep was spotty this week, which led to many senior moments. There was a trip to mom, so there was a short hike but a bit less running than I wanted. As usual I just tried to do the best I could. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and wondering why that … Continue reading Bye Bye, Trails!: 12/5 – 11 WRD

All the leaves are brown . . .: 11/28 – 12/4 WRD

December 4, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 28 Comments

. . . and they're all on the ground I had this post almost completely written yesterday (on the desktop). When I went to put in the photos from my phone, somehow all the stuff I'd updated disappeared. So here I am, trying to recreate 90% of the post. The week started out rough with … Continue reading All the leaves are brown . . .: 11/28 – 12/4 WRD

Hitting the Trails: Runfessions August 2022

August 26, 2022August 25, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

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

Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22

August 23, 2022August 23, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

Nope, not for you, Bandit This was my third time at the Thacher Park Trail Running Festival, my second time running the 10k -- to be totally honest, if the 5k was still an option as it was the first time I attended this festival, I'd still be running it! I last ran this race … Continue reading Thacher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/21/22

Trail Running Maybe?

March 10, 2020March 6, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

It's hard to believe that it was 3 years ago that I got the bug to run a trail race. My first. A half. Because . . . chocolate. Not kidding! None of my friends were the least bit interested in trails, so I trained alone. In fact, I ran four halfs that year so … Continue reading Trail Running Maybe?

Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019

September 6, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 30 Comments

On Monday we spent the day with my parents. Despite the rain, the dogs were pretty good. Bandit (he appears here a couple of times) seems to particularly enjoy going to my parents -- until it's dinner time. We had a nice visit with my parents and some of their friends. The next day my … Continue reading Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019

Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD

September 1, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

Another quiet week, and the last of my YTT calls. It's amazing how much information we were exposed to -- many students who are already teachers commented on how it was far more in depth than what they went through in an in person training. But just how much of it have I actually absorbed? … Continue reading Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD

Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19

August 27, 2019August 26, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 22 Comments

My first trail race was a half marathon. Yes, chocolate was involved. Of course. My next trail race? A 5k. Kind of on a whim, the day after a long run, mostly because it was a beautiful day. The next year I was getting close to my 18 mile road race, and I didn't want … Continue reading Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19

All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD

August 25, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

It was a relatively quiet week, with minimal running but included my first Trail 10k, and the weather finally turned lovely towards the end of the week -- just in time for said Trail race! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, … Continue reading All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD

Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD

August 18, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 36 Comments

Yet more rain (and thunderstorms), a return of heat & humidity, some hiking, a bit less running, and a taste test. That's what went down this week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, Brandi @ Funnerrunner, Anna Louise @ Graciouswarriorprincess, Briana … Continue reading Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD
