The date for my Dad's burial has been set, and it was arranged so I could run the April half if I want to -- or so I thought. I can still run the April half, but the new potential date means two trips at the end of April. So it's gone from a nice … Continue reading Add another state?: 2/10-16 WRD

My Good Samaritan Moment: 2/3-9 WRD
Mr. Judy was slated for a short business trip the latter end of the week. The snow/ice had different plans for him, though, and he ended up having to reschedule. I have to admit I was looking forward to just cooking for myself and getting at some projects I wanted to tackle. On the other … Continue reading My Good Samaritan Moment: 2/3-9 WRD
Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD
No big shock, I was very tired the beginning of the week. Last week was intense. Heck, the last half year (and more) was intense. I just wanted to come home & sleep for a million years. Of course life goes on, and even though I have to admit I wasn't super motivated this week, … Continue reading Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD
A Spooky Good Time: 10/28-11/3 WRD
Much of this week was spent at my mom's again. Both the staff and the residents got into the spirit of Halloween. So did Mother Nature with some nasty storms and power outages! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how I'm prepping for that 15k next week I'm not even signed … Continue reading A Spooky Good Time: 10/28-11/3 WRD
Still on the racing circuit: 10/21-27 WRD
I do love me some races in the Fall. This week's was a 5k. One billed as flat and fast for PRs -- yeah, right! The hills weren't bad, but they were there. I'm getting ahead of myself though. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how I'm tackling all the hills … Continue reading Still on the racing circuit: 10/21-27 WRD
It’s getting hot in here: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2019
Summer continues its a-little-too-enthusiastic grip on us, but that didn't stop me from racing this July 4! It might have if it wasn't for my running friends, though, I runfess (wait -- wrong linkup!). Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date -- I have lots to share: the … Continue reading It’s getting hot in here: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2019
Fair Weather Runners,Unite!
I have run in some pretty gnarly weather conditions: snow, sleet, thunderstorms, extremely windy, a Nor'easter (yes, I'm going to milk that one for years to come). Sometimes the weather changes when I'm already out on the run and I have no choice but to run back to the car. Other times, yes, I know … Continue reading Fair Weather Runners,Unite!
Put the Mango in the Coconut: 6/11 – 17 Weekly Wrap
You will probably notice that several of the links I share this week are not from our linkups, but that's because I have racing at elevation on the brain. There are five long runs until I am tackling elevation again. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long … Continue reading Put the Mango in the Coconut: 6/11 – 17 Weekly Wrap
Silver Linings Playbook: 6/4 – 10 Weekly Wrap
I can't say as I was super happy about the unseasonably cool weather this week -- except when it comes to running. On the other hand, running in unseasonably warm weather the previous few weeks set me up for a good race last weekend. There's always a silver lining, right? I'm joining up with the Weekly … Continue reading Silver Linings Playbook: 6/4 – 10 Weekly Wrap
Wrapping up the mentoring: 5/28 – 6/3 Weekly Wrap
Another autograph added to my famous runners visor (which includes Frank Shorter, Deena Kastor, and Bart Yasso among others -- I've been lucky to meet some very cool runners!). Some sleepless nights, some hot runs, and one last 5k for the summer (next race will be a 4 miler). I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap … Continue reading Wrapping up the mentoring: 5/28 – 6/3 Weekly Wrap
