I'm not gonna lie: I am ready for some flat road! Only problem is my neighborhood (and the surrounding area) has very little flat. The places I visited this week had very little flat, too. These legs got a workout this week, which is good, because I didn't manage to squeeze in much strength training. … Continue reading Tackling all the Hills: 8/31 – 9/6 WRD
Weekly Run Down
Heading into Fall: 8/24 – 30 WRD
Fall seems to be moving in. I'm mostly okay with that. A little wistful, of course, I'll miss my skirts and the long days. In fact, as I was folding up and putting away a few of my Summer skirts today, I couldn't help but wonder if that will be the last time I wear … Continue reading Heading into Fall: 8/24 – 30 WRD
Thank You, Mother Nature!: 8/17 – 23 WRD
I know a lot of people suffered with Mother Nature's actions last week, and if you were caught in the Derecho or in the wildfires, know you are still in my thoughts. We were treated to a dose of cool, almost Fall like days until the weekend. It was a much needed break from the … Continue reading Thank You, Mother Nature!: 8/17 – 23 WRD
Roatripping: 8/10 – 16 WRD
Some people are effected more by heat than others. I remember once, in TX, we'd been out to a memorial service. It was hot and humid. As we sat in the car afterwards, trying to decide what to do, the sweat was rolling down my face. But not Mr. Judy's. I'd rather run outside than … Continue reading Roatripping: 8/10 – 16 WRD
A Buzzzy Week: 8/3 – 9 WRD
We've spent way more time eating & relaxing on our deck this Summer than we ever have. In the past, heat (it's off of the second floor) often prevented us. Of course we've had plenty of heat this Summer, but with two umbrellas instead of just one, we've been out there more. The other limiting … Continue reading A Buzzzy Week: 8/3 – 9 WRD
Just what the Doctor Ordered: 7/27 – 8/2 WRD
Garmin was back up. Temps were just a little down. The makings of a great running week, right? Except I knew I needed a break from most activity -- and I took it. After several days I felt a whole lot better, but I still had little desire to run. Or really tax my body … Continue reading Just what the Doctor Ordered: 7/27 – 8/2 WRD
The Runaround: 7/20 – 26 WRD
. . . Or GarminGate? It was a busy week. A visit to my mom. 2 zoom calls the next day, one to wrap up a course I was taking, the other a family call -- some of my cousins were in on it this time, so that was nice (haven't seen them in years, … Continue reading The Runaround: 7/20 – 26 WRD
Hamilton Touring: 7/13 – 19 WRD
We got even further out of our neighborhood this week with a small day trip. The dogs and I enjoyed it, anyway. Mr. Judy enjoyed the ice cream. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and getting lucky with the weather for my runs this week. Mostly. Workouts update Monday: 3.24 non technical trail miles, … Continue reading Hamilton Touring: 7/13 – 19 WRD
The one where I leave my neighborhood: 6/6 – 7/12 WRD
Obviously I have left my neighborhood: to shop, to see my mom, to take Lola to the vet. This week was the first week in many that I took one of my runs out of the neighborhood. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and sharing pushing through the heat this week. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading The one where I leave my neighborhood: 6/6 – 7/12 WRD
It’s Getting Hot in Here. . . : 6/29 – 7/5 WRD
. . . Again! The heat wave is coming, and it heated up this week culminating in a horribly humid Friday with quite the short storm that night. Lucky for me that ushered in nicer weather for my virtual race the next day. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and finishing my annual … Continue reading It’s Getting Hot in Here. . . : 6/29 – 7/5 WRD
