In some ways it seems kind of pointless to join up with the Weekly Wrap, because there wasn't a lot of movement this week. But that's just the point: sometimes recovery looks like being lazy, but recovery is important -- and I don't have anything on my schedule right now, either. Perfect timing. I'm joining … Continue reading R&R: 2/18-24 Weekly Wrap

State #20, Half #23 (I think?): 2/11-17 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 10: Best Damn Race Savannah HalfI honestly don't know quite where I am with the states -- or halfs! I seriously need to update my "Races" page. It might be state #19 . . I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home and wrapping up … Continue reading State #20, Half #23 (I think?): 2/11-17 Weekly Wrap
The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 9: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I admit it: life is much easier without Gizmo, but I can't say that life without him makes me happy, either. I miss him. When you're in caretaking mode, you don't realize just how much time that caretaking consumes. I didn't really think that he was that … Continue reading The Hay is in the Barn: 2/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 8: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Normally running is my go-to for stress; it has gotten me through many difficult times in my life the last 10 years. I did not want to run this week after we put Giz to sleep, although I did my runs and have kept as active as … Continue reading Saying goodbye & moving forward: 1/28-2/3 Weekly Wrap
Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Snow. Check. Ice. Check. Extreme cold. Check. Pouring rain. Check. Mother Nature sure threw a lot at us this week, but I did my best to keep on keeping on. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Wendy @ Taking the Long Way Home to … Continue reading Snow, Ice & Cold, Oh My!: 1/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 7: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Alas I think that was our last week with no snow on the paths -- mostly, anyway, as I ran through just a little snow on Friday (yup, we got caught in the big snowstorm today). Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll warm up and melt the … Continue reading Shoveling as Fasted Cardio: 1/14-20 Weekly Wrap
Get Comfortable . . . : 1/7-13 Weekly Wrap
. . . being uncomfortable Training Week 6: Best Damn Race Savannah Half When it came to running, this week was definitely all about being uncomfortable -- as in pushing, not as in pains/injuries. I ran a 10 mile LSD on a real beast of a day -- feels like single digits with winds gusting … Continue reading Get Comfortable . . . : 1/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Trying new stuff: 12/31-1/6 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 5: Best Damn Race Savannah Half The new stuff is down in favorites, although I did end up running on unpaved paths/non technical trails a couple of times this week. The snow is still bypassing us, so you have to take advantage of that! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns … Continue reading Trying new stuff: 12/31-1/6 Weekly Wrap
Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 4: Best Damn Race Savannah Half I'm beginning to add in some speed work, but am being somewhat conservative in my training. In fact, I'll probably continue to go back and forth between three days a week and four days a week. Mostly it will depend on the weather and how my body … Continue reading Wrapping up 2018: 12/14-30 Weekly Wrap
I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap
Training Week 3: Best Damn Race Savannah Half Definitely a much better week than the previous one. Running is going pretty good. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not pushing as hard as I did in the last four goal races. It was a lot of hard training, so this time I'm still training but … Continue reading I feel the need for speed: 12/17-23 Weekly Wrap
