Thanksgiving was spent with my parents, my sister and her kids, plus one of the couples my parents eat with on a regular basis. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great, and I have a strong feeling it might be my Dad's last Thanksgiving, but only time will tell. Not a whole lot of activity … Continue reading It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD

Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/24/19
Girls on the Run (also known as GOTR) is an awesome nonprofit that helps train young girls to run a 5k, but more importantly, also helps them with their self esteem. The lovely Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner runs one of these groups, by the way. This was my third time running this 5k (not in consecutive … Continue reading Girls on the Run 5k Race Recap 11/24/19
All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
Another week at home, although I had a false alarm midweek. Physically my Dad is regaining some strength, but mentally not so much and it's only going to continue going downhill. Even with an aide, it's very hard on my Mom. On everyone, really. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how … Continue reading All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
Baby it’s cold out there: 11/11-17 WRD
A week at home (although I'm probably at my parents or on my way home as you read this -- just a visit) felt glorious. In fact, by Tuesday I felt extremely run down so I took a real rest day -- stayed in my pjs all day. Binged watched a few shows (mostly because … Continue reading Baby it’s cold out there: 11/11-17 WRD
Third time’s the Charm: 11/4-10 WRD
At my mom's much of this week again. Dad is home. Big, big adjustment. Third time refers to the fact that his release kept getting pushed to a different date, due to medical issues, but in the end I brought him home on Thursday. Although there was time to get a third run in this … Continue reading Third time’s the Charm: 11/4-10 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
Night Out for You Harvest Hustle 5k Race Recap 10/26/19
This was yet another new-to-me 5k, but we train at this park for the Freihofers Training Challenge -- which is how I knew the race director lied when she said it's a flat and fast race. In fact, if you just did Mowhawk Hudson here, you know that there's a fairly steep hill in the … Continue reading Night Out for You Harvest Hustle 5k Race Recap 10/26/19
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
Happy 34 to Us: 10/14-20 WRD
I don't post a lot to my personal FB page -- although I'm always saying I should do it more because I do love looking at those memories -- but this weekend the weather Gods aligned to give us the perfect day on our anniversary (our actual wedding day, not so much). We made the … Continue reading Happy 34 to Us: 10/14-20 WRD
1 runner, 1 deer, 1 turkey: 10/7-13 WRD
Saw a deer on the way to my moms, which is not at all unusual in around here. I saw a huge turkey running across the road on the way to my Dad. Then I actually saw a runner running while I was at my moms -- which was a first. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly … Continue reading 1 runner, 1 deer, 1 turkey: 10/7-13 WRD
