Or a Tale of Two Christmas Trees Or really three Christmas trees. Like much of the nation our temperatures quickly plummeted this week. And didn't budge. Just like forecast. Throw in some snow, and I was right about those treadmill runs. The good news is that by Tuesday I was feeling back to normal. Hopefully … Continue reading Farewell, 2017!: 12/25-31 Weekly Wrap

Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I was going along, running easy, and wham! On Tuesday I came down with some mild (thankfully) flu-like symptoms: extreme fatigue, mild muscle aches. I ran that day, but it was slow and quite frankly I probably shouldn't have, but I didn't realize that until I started to run. The odd thing was that after … Continue reading Just chillin’: 12/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap
It was a much needed quiet week filled with treadmill runs, lots of cold, lots of wind, and a little more snow. Just enough to be annoying -- the kind that if I didn't shovel the driveway it would turn into an icy mess. Turns out even with my treadmill runs, icy mess was the … Continue reading Ice, ice baby: 12/11-17 Weekly Wrap
Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
Last month of 2017. Last "race" of 2017. Nope, definitely not a PR this time, but it was snowing and slippery and we took our sweet time -- but we had a lot of fun. When I went to shovel the driveway this afternoon, I discovered just why it was so slippery -- it was … Continue reading Slip sliding away: 12/4-12/10 Weekly Wrap
The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
And just like that, 2017 is almost over. But it ain't over til the fat lady sings. You might just feel like the fat lady after Thanksgiving Shenanigans -- that's okay; holidays are meant to be enjoyed. But they're called holidays for a reason -- don't let one day stretch into an entire month. This … Continue reading The Final Countdown: 11/27-12/3 Weekly Wrap
Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
If all I did the previous week was clean, all I did this week was run the dishwasher! Seriously, it's surprising it didn't burn out (and it is still working fine months after not draining properly). In the past I've gone the paper plates and plastic cups route for Thanksgiving, but since I decided … Continue reading Putting on Thanksgiving Ritz: 11/20-26 Weekly Wrap
Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
I'd like to say it was a quiet week. I don't mind the cooking/baking for Thanksgiving, but the cleaning? How do you guys clean, work, and have a life? Seriously. It felt like all I did was clean this week. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to show that … Continue reading Pre Thanksgiving Shenanigans: 11/13-19 Weekly Wrap
Angry Running: 11/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Man, Winter blew in with a vengeance this week; even a little white stuff fell from the sky as the temps plummeted . . . just in time for my 15k.. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to show how I get it done even when it's frigid! Workouts update … Continue reading Angry Running: 11/6-12 Weekly Wrap
Turkey Talk: 10/30-11/5 Weekly Wrap
With the exception of Monday, it was nice running this week, even if it was all over the place. Weather whiplash indeed, from running in a skirt & tee one day to tights and a jacket a couple of days later. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to get … Continue reading Turkey Talk: 10/30-11/5 Weekly Wrap
No trail race but a hike!: 10/23-29 Weekly Wrap
It's Fall, y'all. We are just a little bit past peak here in our neck of the woods, but this post will be a bit more photo heavy since it's just so pretty out there (when it isn't raining, like today). I traded in an easy run for a hike this week. I continued to … Continue reading No trail race but a hike!: 10/23-29 Weekly Wrap
