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
Walking
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
RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
It was a long, long week. Physically and emotionally draining. Lola improved, just slightly, then she got worse. The runs were short, although that doesn't always mean they were easy. Even last night, this wasn't the post I thought I'd be writing, but Lola went to her final sleep in my arms last night (at … Continue reading RIP Lola (2005 – 2020): 10/26 – 11/1 WRD
Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
This week didn't start off as I planned, but it was pretty good -- until the weekend. Then things went rapidly downhill. I had targeted a park that was a little further away than we usually go for our anniversary roadtrip. I'd been there, once, and I thought Mr. Judy might enjoy it, too. We … Continue reading Best & Worst of Times: 10/19 – 25 WRD
Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Yes, there is some running to report this week! Nothing wild, just a few short runs. Still lots of Yoga and walking. Less walking, though, because . . . running. My running miles basically replaced my extra walking miles from the previous week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and reporting on easing … Continue reading Mr. Judy to the Rescue: 10/12 – 18 WRD
Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Not running actually frees up some of my time. Yes, I'm walking more, but that doesn't take as much pre- and post-routines (for me). Of course I could explore by running in the places I'm walking, but one problem I have is that I get so sweaty running that I can be uncomfortable post run … Continue reading Generator/Instant Pot to the rescue!: 10/5 – 11 WRD
Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
Nothing very exciting going on this week. No running to report (planned for break). Although I actually did get in more miles walking than I normally would with running, due to the Run for Ruth distance challenge. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running/walking my virtual Dempsey Challenge races. Workouts update Monday: Yoga … Continue reading Walking for RBG: 9/27 – 10/4 WRD
My Quest for Steps
Or how I walked 5 miles in my house I wrote about my strange rungries and sleep disturbances when I started to run again after a short runbbatical here. This week I'm going to talk about how I managed to get in my steps -- even with bitter cold, no running, limited power, and no … Continue reading My Quest for Steps
Second verse, same as the first
So many people love their winter sports: skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, ice skating. Me? Not so much. Why do you think I don't want to live somewhere cold & snowy? We're talking winter activities on the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy. I must runfess, though, that my winter activities … Continue reading Second verse, same as the first
