A few cool mornings in the beginning of the week, but then the heat and humidity returned. Friday was really unbearable; luckily my first double digit run of this training cycle was Saturday. Find out how it all went down below. I think maybe things are looking up, even so, and I'm wrapping it up with the … Continue reading The heat is on: 8/22-28 Weekly Wrap

Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
I still spent a lot of time on the couch this week, but I returned to the land of the living with some dogwalks, a few runs, and just a tiny bit of strength training. By the end of the week, despite moving more, I no longer felt so worn out. Until Bandit had diarrhea … Continue reading Come run with me: 8/15-21 Weekly Wrap
To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Mr. Judy has some nasty allergy/cold thing going on (turned out to be the office virus). I had a slightly scratchy throat Sunday night, and laid there wondering if I should take an extra rest day. I didn't, and I had a great run on Monday. And that was the only run I had all … Continue reading To race or not to race: 8/8-14 Weekly Wrap
Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Another week, more frustrations, but overall, not a bad week and I'm not even going to rehash the frustrating stuff -- I whined enough yesterday over tea -- except for Tuesday's run -- that was majorly frustrating and most of you are runners and that's why you're here. It's kind of a long one, so grab a cookie or two … Continue reading Cookie recovery: 8/1-7 Weekly Wrap
Mountain climbers & Burpees: 7/25-31 Weekly Wrap
I am not gonna lie -- it was a frustrating week. Including Bandit, who up until Friday I would have said was completely house trained, deciding to have an accident in our kitchen for no known reason, as he'd been out twice and done his business both times. I worried about a bladder infection, but … Continue reading Mountain climbers & Burpees: 7/25-31 Weekly Wrap
Light at the end of the tunnel?: 7/18-24 Weekly Wrap
The week started off rough, meeting with the trainer and Gizmo's sudden "illness" (read about it here), but ended on a high note when we finally got to have a rescue evaluate Bandit. It was another tough, draining week, but we have more of a routine going and we are hopeful that things will continue … Continue reading Light at the end of the tunnel?: 7/18-24 Weekly Wrap
You don’t always get what you want: 7/11-17 Weekly Wrap
But sometimes you get what you need Things with Bandit are pretty status quo. I got all my runs in. And then I got something I really, really needed -- but you'll have to keep reading to find out what that was. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia … Continue reading You don’t always get what you want: 7/11-17 Weekly Wrap
Sadly, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 7/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Bandit has not worked out. At all. And yet right now, he's still living with us.Thankfully I have a lot of friends who know a lot of other people involved in dog rescue, and I am working really, really hard to get the word out about Bandit and save his life. Literally. I don't want … Continue reading Sadly, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 7/4-10 Weekly Wrap
What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Doesn't everyone adopt a new dog the night before a race? Well, we don't know if we've really adopted him. If we don't think it's a match, I guess we'll be fostering. But much to my surprise we have two dogs again at the moment. And oh yeah, I ran four times this week. I'm … Continue reading What’SUP?: 6/27-7/3 Weekly Wrap
Daytrips, blogger meetups, and running, oh my!: 6/20-26 Weekly Wrap
The summer has been busy -- in a good way. The weather really cooperated with everything I had planned this week. I got to meet up with another blogger in RL, had a daytrip into NYC with Darlene, and Lola got her claws clipped and dremmeled and did a little agility -- that's the short story. … Continue reading Daytrips, blogger meetups, and running, oh my!: 6/20-26 Weekly Wrap
