Well, it was, anyway. The mercury just kept going up and up and up this week -- right until today. Today it's cool and raining. A perfect rest day with a little retail therapy thrown in there. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to wrap … Continue reading The Heat is On: 5/21 – 27 Weekly Wrap

Let the Sun Shine: 5/14 – 20 Weekly Wrap
Lately it's been cool and cloudy most mornings, with the sun eventually breaking through and warming things up. Generally the second I start to run! Except for this weekend. Cool and rainy this weekend. All the lawns, trees, and flowers are looking pretty good because they're getting water -- naturally -- on a regular basis. … Continue reading Let the Sun Shine: 5/14 – 20 Weekly Wrap

Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
It's been sadly lacking this week. I got my workouts done, and other stuff, too, but I spent more time just sitting at the computer not being productive than normal. Of course I get to blame the weather -- once again, it was crazy! On Monday I was wearing a beanie and Skirt Sports Wonder … Continue reading Did you find my mojo?: 4/30 – 5/9 Weekly Wrap
Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
We got a couple of Spring-like days and then we descended back into gray skies, chilly temps, and rain. Well, it's almost May so it's time for those April Showers to get lost -- don't you think? There was a lot of synchronicity going on this week, too: meeting the DJ from the station I … Continue reading Enough with the rain!: 4/23 – 29 Weekly Wrap
Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap
I know, I know, it's Spring. Tell that to MN. This week was so incredibly foul weather-wise until the weekend -- endless gray, pouring cold rain on Monday, and I felt kind of meh for much of the week. I'm blaming the lack of sunshine (and yes, I take a Vitamin D supplement). I'm joining … Continue reading Hazy Shade of Winter: 4/16 – 22 Weekly Wrap

Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
You'll notice, probably, that there wasn't as much activity as normal. Not a lot of dog walking. Not much cross training. Not as much strength work. Yes, a lot of that was due to the blizzard, because when I wasn't running on the treadmill, I was shoveling. Maybe Stella came along at a good time … Continue reading Spring Blizzard Stella: 3/13-19 Weekly Wrap
