I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; I'm sharing how Rachel @ Runningonhappy helped me wind down … Continue reading Winding down: 5/29-6/4 Weekly Wrap

Oy! The Outfit Decision: 5/22-28 Weekly Wrap
You would think after several years of running it would be easy to decide on a running outfit, right? Wrong! Why is the running clothes decision always so damn hard? I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; and whoever our guest host might be this week. Because the more the … Continue reading Oy!

A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
If you're hungry, if you're trying to drop a few pounds (like I am, actually), you might want to skip over the favorites this week. You've been warned: it's drool worthy! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin; our hosts may be battling hot, humid weather in the south … Continue reading A week of good eats: 5/15-21 Weekly Wrap
Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Seriously, apparently I can't count. I wanted to move my long runs from Sunday to Saturday -- my next half is a Saturday -- and it never occurred to me that I'd have two long runs in one week -- according to the calendar Rachel @ Runningonhappy uses, which runs Sunday through Saturday. Although since … Continue reading Can’t do simple arithmetic: 5/8-14 Weekly Wrap
At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
I was up to running this week, unlike after my NOLA half -- still really tired. Not sure why. Travel? Lack of sun? I also suffered a complete lack of motivation for any sort of strength training, and that definitely needs to change next week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and … Continue reading At the movies: 5/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
When you choose to do all your halfs as racecations, it's always a busy week before your race. I'm typing this at the beginning of the week, before most of what I'm writing about even happened, but if there's one thing I know for sure this week, it's gonna be busy. I'm joining up with the … Continue reading Half #16, State#14: 4/24- 30 Weekly Wrap
Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
That's what training is: beta testing. Do these clothes feel good (and don't chafe)? Does that fuel sit well in my stomach? How should I carry my water? NOLA was easy to pack for, but this race is much trickier, and while I'm trying not to check a bag because we'll be there less than … Continue reading Beta testing what I’ll need: 4/17- 23 Weekly Wrap
Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
This week went down a lot like my last couple of weeks: nothing great, nothing terrible. Running was hard this week. Some weeks are just like that. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? A lot of my friends were racing this weekend, but I couldn't. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly … Continue reading Horses, Hills & Snakes, Oh My!: 4/10- 16 Weekly Wrap
Burning up the trails: 4/3- 9 Weekly Wrap
In some ways, this week was a repeat of last week: nothing particularly exciting going on, another trip to my parents -- which I thought would be the last one, except it took much longer than I expected and I think there's more left to do than my sister realizes. Still a bit back and … Continue reading Burning up the trails: 4/3- 9 Weekly Wrap
Recovery Week: 3/27- 4/2 Weekly Wrap
Occasionally I just get mild flu-like symptoms. They used to be tied to my cycle, but I no longer have a cycle (but still am not post menopausal). Maybe by the end of the year. So I came home, and yup, there they were: slight muscle aches, slight temp, fatigue. Even though there were a few … Continue reading Recovery Week: 3/27- 4/2 Weekly Wrap
