32 years. My God, we were just kids. Seriously. To put that into perspective, though, my parents will be celebrating seventy years soon. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to kick off those holiday-themed races. Workouts update Monday: Dogwalk, 4 easy trail miles, YFPR Knees Tuesday: Dogwalk, 4 miles easy grass miles … Continue reading Happy Anniversary to Us!: 10/16-22 Weekly Wrap

It’s the Great Pumpkin!: 10/9-15 Weekly Wrap
There hasn't been a lot of short distance racing this year, but I tried a new-to-me 10 k this weekend. I'm usually traveling this time of year since it's right around our anniversary, but this year we front loaded most of our travel in the first half of the year. Except for a teeny escape … Continue reading It’s the Great Pumpkin!: 10/9-15 Weekly Wrap
Putting the R in Rest: 10/2-8 Weekly Wrap
It's another week short on activity, but man, I needed that! The last couple of weeks before my half were not the least bit restful and I was feeling extremely run down and just praying I could make it to the half healthy (actually, praying I would make it at all -- but that's a … Continue reading Putting the R in Rest: 10/2-8 Weekly Wrap
State #16, Half #18: 9/25-10/1 Weekly Wrap
It's somewhat short and sweet this week, because what promised to be a crazy week got even crazier midweek and I was feeling really run down (before that) so there wasn't really a whole lot of activity. Aside from a little half marathon. I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ … Continue reading State #16, Half #18: 9/25-10/1 Weekly Wrap
A Friendly Weekend: 9/18-24 Weekly Wrap
I may have been tapering this week, but it was filled with tempos, and speedwork, and racing, oh my! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin to share how my last week before my Fall half went down. Workouts update Monday: Dogwalk, 2 mile walk because 2 left shoes!, PB Core Tuesday: … Continue reading A Friendly Weekend: 9/18-24 Weekly Wrap
Hello Taper!: 9/11-17 Weekly Wrap
I love me some taper. Seriously. I am so ready for mine. Y'all, I started training for halfs in March of 2016 with almost no breaks at all since then. So many do more, but that's a lot for me! I'm joining up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin and sharing how my … Continue reading Hello Taper!: 9/11-17 Weekly Wrap
New Critters: 9/4-10 Weekly Wrap
No, no new furkids! But I saw a larger snake than I've seen in our neighborhood before (unfortunately squashed by a car) and a Heron at the park. We enjoyed some scenic views from an overlook we hiked to, and oh yeah, there was a little running in there, too (and trying -- but failing … Continue reading New Critters: 9/4-10 Weekly Wrap
Oh Deer!: 8/28-9/3 Weekly Wrap
It wasn't a great summer. So much better than last summer, though, and no natural disasters here so we are very blessed. Do you feel like summer is over with Labor Day? It's hard not to feel that way, with the lovely Fall weather we've been having. Tomorrow will warm up, but it won't be sticking … Continue reading Oh Deer!: 8/28-9/3 Weekly Wrap
Still challenging myself: 8/21-27 Weekly Wrap
I had company for almost every run this week, although there was a lot of confusion -- mostly on my part. Did you see my runfessions about senior moments? You can read it here. For the first time I "raced" the day after my long run (and I use that term very loosely). I'm joining … Continue reading Still challenging myself: 8/21-27 Weekly Wrap
Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
There was a lot of solo running this week, including my first double digit run in a while. Next week looks to be much more sociable. I hope the forecast is right -- there's a trail festival on Sunday and I'm hoping to do the 5k as a recovery run. Right now the forecast looks … Continue reading Busy with life: 8/14-20 Weekly Wrap
