Even though I felt even better most of this week, there were a few days I didn't. Very annoying. Even more annoying? I managed to tweak something in my dominant arm shoulder, not once, but twice! After a lot of SMR (self myofascial release), both times, the pain quickly went away -- although it took … Continue reading A week of creativity: 1/18 – 24 WRD
Weekly Run Down
Down but not out: 1/11 – 17 WRD

God laughs at plans: 1/4 – 10 WRD
Another fresh week, another fresh start . . .or so I thought. Apparently God and I weren't on the same page when it came to my plans for this week. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and not off to a running start in 2021. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), … Continue reading God laughs at plans: 1/4 – 10 WRD
Bye Bye, 2020!: 12/28 – 1/3 WRD
It was that sort of week: one filled with little frustrations. Nothing big, nothing terrible, but when you pile them all on -- well, I made it out of 2020 and while I know it will be a long time before we see truly good news, I am always hopeful at the start of a … Continue reading Bye Bye, 2020!: 12/28 – 1/3 WRD
What goes around comes around: 12/21 – 27 WRD
The subject refers to the snow! It warmed up on Thursday and Friday, rained, and the snow was almost all washed away. Then the temps took a dive, it immediately snowed just a bit Friday night -- so much for clear places to run. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, … Continue reading What goes around comes around: 12/21 – 27 WRD
How Lucky We Are: 12/14 – 20 WRD
I spent some quality time with my treadmill this week. As I type this, there were two treadmill runs. Will there be a third? You'll have to read on to find out. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and coasting towards the New Year. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk/short … Continue reading How Lucky We Are: 12/14 – 20 WRD
Muskrat Love: 12/7 – 13 WRD
I spent two of my runs this week at a local preserve. Each time I went I saw different wildlife. Once I saw what I thought were baby beavers, but Mr. Judy thinks they were muskrats -- I didn't share the photo because all you see are two little lumps in the water. Whatever they … Continue reading Muskrat Love: 12/7 – 13 WRD
In & Out: 11/30 – 12/6 WRD
Last week I managed to get all my runs done outside. This week the weather was crappy on and off, and there were two treadmill runs. I'm totally fine with that -- I still get outside to walk Bandit -- except yesterday. Cold rain all day long? No thank you. Peloton does make the treadmill … Continue reading In & Out: 11/30 – 12/6 WRD
Hello Mother!: 11/23 – 29 WRD
This week I was actually able to go into my mom's apartment. Which meant I was actually able to use a bathroom. I stayed a little longer than I'd planned on, although less than the time limit -- and since I was working on her Echo Show, we weren't as socially distanced as I would … Continue reading Hello Mother!: 11/23 – 29 WRD
Goodbyes are hard: 11/16 – 22 WRD
I wrapped up my Peloton 5k Training with the virtual Champion for the Chesapeake 5k (folded into my longish run this week). Unfortunately a week of bad news. But first I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing "race" week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk, Yoga (20 min) Tuesday: Yoga (40 … Continue reading Goodbyes are hard: 11/16 – 22 WRD
