In January, when I got back to running, it was mostly on the treadmill. Time was of the essence and the runs were short. I was fine with that. Moving into the February the runs are still short, but they're growing. Temps were mild (until this week) so I was running outside -- until yesterday's … Continue reading Taking it Outsides (sometimes): Runfessions February 2023

Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
There seemed to be deer everywhere I looked this week: in my neighborhood, where I ran, and where I stopped on the way to visit my mom -- deer sightings three days in a row. Despite all the sightings, the only photo I took was not even worth sharing. Y'all know what deer look like. … Continue reading Oh Deer!: 8/8 – 14 WRD
Chipping Away at To-dos: 8/1 – 7 WRD
Except for the heatwave a relatively quiet week. My to-do lists were quite long, but my motivation wasn't strong -- I blame the heat! Good thing I prioritize the three most important things. They usually get done. I chip away at the rest. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and easing back … Continue reading Chipping Away at To-dos: 8/1 – 7 WRD
Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
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
Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022
I slowly and cautiously started to rebuild my mileage in February. Definitely nothing crazy; there's no rush. I think I'll be ending February with 10 or so more miles than January, which isn't horrible considering February is a short month. Yet there's always runfessions to be shared. I runfess . . .Not too long ago … Continue reading Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022
Top 6 List of 2021
I haven't raced in a long time, and for a variety of reasons, my mileage was pretty low in 2021. So could I find six things to love about running in 2021? Shorter runs I know there are runners that love that long run, and I'm not saying that I hate it, but it's so … Continue reading Top 6 List of 2021
Ice, Ice, Baby: 1/31 – 2/5 WRD

Workouts update Monday: Yoga (40 min), PB ST (20 min), DogwalkTuesday: Yoga AM (30 min), 3 miles easy + sorta hill repeats x 3, Dogwalk, Yoga … Continue reading Ice, Ice, Baby: 1/31 – 2/5 WRD
Outside 2; TM 1: 1/14 – 30 WRD
It's been a frustrating week for the Yoga practice. I often do online videos (I'm a member of a couple of online studios), but the Internet was acting up and for several days and I couldn't get through the practices -- it was super annoying, the opposite of what Yoga should be. Sometimes it would … Continue reading Outside 2; TM 1: 1/14 – 30 WRD
