Weekly Run Down
Exhaling, for Now: 8/16 – 22 WRD
It was another stressful week in a month full of stressful weeks -- but I knew it would be going into it. Activity was hard, but I did my best, which wasn't half bad. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and moving through learning and bringing my mom home. Workouts update Monday: Yoga … Continue reading Exhaling, for Now: 8/16 – 22 WRD
It’s Alive! Or is it?: 8/9 – 15 WRD
It was mostly a brutally hot and humid week, and most of my running (well, about half) was spent on the revived treadmill. Most early mornings found me walking Bandit. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and still recovering, this time from the colonoscopy, the stress, and the heat wave. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading It’s Alive! Or is it?: 8/9 – 15 WRD
Calm Before the Storm?: 8/2 – 8 WRD
It was a much needed week at home. I hate that my mom is alone, but we all talk to her every day, and friends call, too. so she's somewhat busy with calls, PT, and OT. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and recovering from recent events -- until I am able … Continue reading Calm Before the Storm?: 8/2 – 8 WRD
Settling In: 7/26 – 8/1 WRD
Despite a somewhat hectic week, I managed to get in a fair amount of activity. Looks like I'll be home for a while, so things will settle down for a bit, although it sucks for my Mom. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and staying active and still exploring while supporting my … Continue reading Settling In: 7/26 – 8/1 WRD
Cookie Monster: 7/19 – 7/25 WRD
The subject will be revealed under favorites. It has been a lot of back and forth with mom, as I suspected it would be last week, and the rehab closed to visitors on Tuesday because of a non-COVID upper respiratory infection going around. I had already gone there, was going to leave from there to … Continue reading Cookie Monster: 7/19 – 7/25 WRD
Little bits add up: 7/12 – 7/18 WRD
It's been a roller coaster of a week. Towards the end of the week things seemed to improve for my mom, but I know it can still be back and forth. I am back down at my sister's for a few days, with lots of rain in the forecast. Maybe I'll throw in a photo … Continue reading Little bits add up: 7/12 – 7/18 WRD
Bad news & we’re off!: 7/5 – 7/11 WRD
Off to the Adirondacks. Adventure awaits! I wrote the above & most of the rest of the post before I got the news on Friday; my Mom fell and broke her hip. We left on Saturday, since it was unlikely that anything was going to happen that quickly -- and if it does, we're not … Continue reading Bad news & we’re off!: 7/5 – 7/11 WRD
Happy Birthday, Grandpa Sam!: 6/28 – 7/4 WRD
My grandpa Sam was my only grandparent to be born in the US, and he was born on the Fourth of July. I've always thought that was special. Although he's been gone since I was a teenager, I always think of him on the Fourth. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Grandpa Sam!: 6/28 – 7/4 WRD
Daytripping & Running: 6/21 – 27 WRD
Looking ahead I could tell next week wasn't going to be a good time for us to be daytripping and hiking. Wednesday was really picture perfect so we headed out to Lenox, Ma for some good food and walking and a short hike. Sandwiched in between I completed four runs and some strength training. I'm … Continue reading Daytripping & Running: 6/21 – 27 WRD
