It took all week but the snow mostly melted and I was even able to run on the bike path again. Read on down to this week's Favorites to see what I saw while running on Wednesday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and slowly adding on a little mileage. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading It’s a Bird; No, it’s . . . : 3/20 – 26 WRD

Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
Hoping this was the last big storm -- and by big, I mean the biggest storm of the Winter. More branches came down, but the fence held, and so did our power (although many were not that lucky). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and another decent week of fitness with two … Continue reading Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
Celebrating a Milestone: 3/6 – 12 WRD
Many of you who follow me on Facebook know my mom turned 95 on Friday. Luckily the weather held so we could celebrate with her (along with my sister, my brother, and our spouses). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing a nice mix of fitness this week. Running into Spring. … Continue reading Celebrating a Milestone: 3/6 – 12 WRD
Slowly & Steadily: 2/27 – 3/5 WRD
Week 7 of the Peloton You Can Run Program is done! Next week is the last week in the program. A busy week of meetings for me -- ending with my mom's 95th birthday on Friday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and running in & out & around snowstorms.. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading Slowly & Steadily: 2/27 – 3/5 WRD
The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
There is a local race called the Icebreaker Challenge. Although I've never run it, the premise is can you beat rowers? It takes place in "Spring", hence the name. Actually this year it takes place on what would have been my Dad's 97th birthday. But no, I'm not planning to run it. However, there was … Continue reading The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
It's so rare that we have nice weather for my birthday. Of course I spent a lot of it in the car, but not having to do all the driving is always a treat -- and the next day was Spring-like. We are back to Winter-like temps today, but it was amazing how much energy … Continue reading A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Looking at the week, it doesn't look like I did that much. Not noted is the three Yoga videos I filmed this week -- finally catching up a bit. I actually cleaned a lot of our windows, too -- it's been bothering me for a while, and the longer days are helping my energy. The … Continue reading Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
I had already decided to take a week off running this week -- good thing, too, because I can't even begin to tell you how exhausted I was when I got back from my moms mid week. It's always tiring, but throw in that extreme heat -- wowza! I sincerely hope that I don't have … Continue reading Stick a fork in July; it’s done!: 7/25 – 31 WRD
Settling In: 7/26 – 8/1 WRD
Despite a somewhat hectic week, I managed to get in a fair amount of activity. Looks like I'll be home for a while, so things will settle down for a bit, although it sucks for my Mom. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and staying active and still exploring while supporting my … Continue reading Settling In: 7/26 – 8/1 WRD
New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
I won't lie: life is much easier without Lola. The sadness lingers, though, of course, and I'd trade the easiness for more time with her, but it is what it is. Is was the right decision. My heart has been heavy much of this week, but we laugh, too, because life truly does go on. … Continue reading New Normal Deja Vu: 11/2 – 8 WRD
