The Summer Solstice, which starts tonight, is a little bittersweet -- because from here on out the days get shorter. Even knowing that we can still enjoy the long days of Summer and extra sunshine while we have it! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing my week in activity -- … Continue reading Enjoying all the light: 6/14 – 20 WRD
Weekly Run Down
Settling into a Groove: 6/7 – 13 WRD
I find it's easier to get in more fitness during the Summer -- how about you? I seem to have settled into a groove of running 4 x week, even though that wasn't a goal. I told myself I was only going to run 3 x this week, but oops. After a very hot and … Continue reading Settling into a Groove: 6/7 – 13 WRD
The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
It was a somewhat busy week with a trip to my mom and an early long run. Very glad I got that done before Summer started to come back again! I used to run very early all the time, but over the years I've found that can feel tiring after a while -- even though … Continue reading The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
Inching towards normal: 5/24 – 30 WRD
It was a busy but quiet week, if that makes sense. I thought it would be a cut back week but I finally added in a fourth (short) run this week. Mainly because of the cooler weather at the end of the week! Next week it'll be a juggling act to get in three, I … Continue reading Inching towards normal: 5/24 – 30 WRD
Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Last week we kinda went from almost Winter to Spring, but I could see looking ahead that we were rapidly moving into Summer. Which we did. Suddenly I was running earlier and earlier and it was getting warmer and warmer. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and trading pace for effort. Workouts update … Continue reading Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
Most of my family gathered for Mother's Day, which made my mom kvell (happy & proud, essentially, in Yiddish). Then the next day we buried my Dad. We visited the graves of my brother (who died before I was born), and my Aunt & Uncle who are also buried in that cemetery. The drive down, … Continue reading Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
The Final, Final Goodbye: 5/3 – 9 WRD
Although we said goodbye to my Dad over a year ago, Monday we are laying him to rest, near his parents and his first born son (who died before I was born) and some other relatives. I hope this gives my Mom closure -- although we don't expect that she'll be there, we know it … Continue reading The Final, Final Goodbye: 5/3 – 9 WRD
Here we go again: 4/26 – 5/2 WRD
There's your Dolly Parton earworm for the day! You're welcome! That's how I feel though -- or maybe it's just Groundhog Day the movie. I feel like I've had to start over, over and over this year. Hopefully now I can rebuild and stay strong! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and … Continue reading Here we go again: 4/26 – 5/2 WRD
I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
Another week where I knew I would have limited time to get in fitness. Glad that I decided to do my long run on Monday -- it sure wasn't going to happen after my vaccine! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running into that second vaccine. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (20 min), … Continue reading I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
I had to cram a lot of fitness into the first part of my week this week, so it's been a very busy couple of weeks. I wrote this post as the week went along; so much easier to remember what happened that way. I get my second vaccine next week. Moderna is known for … Continue reading All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
