Winter Running

Happy Holidays!: 12/19 – 25 WRD

December 25, 2022December 25, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

The plan was to try to squeeze in three runs in this week, but after two runs my body clearly wasn't really digging the lack of rest so I let that go. I've worked really hard to try to relax more this December, even though that got completely hijacked by last week. I'd rather rest … Continue reading Happy Holidays!: 12/19 – 25 WRD

Add another state?: 2/10-16 WRD

February 16, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 47 Comments

The date for my Dad's burial has been set, and it was arranged so I could run the April half if I want to -- or so I thought. I can still run the April half, but the new potential date means two trips at the end of April. So it's gone from a nice … Continue reading Add another state?: 2/10-16 WRD

5 Reasons Winter Running is Good

February 14, 2020February 10, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 21 Comments

Some people love running in Winter. I am not one of those people. Which seems odd, because I'd rather tackle a cold run than a hot, humid one any day of the week. I decided to try to convince myself that Winter running is actually a good thing. Fairytales and Fitness   Almost no need … Continue reading 5 Reasons Winter Running is Good

My Good Samaritan Moment: 2/3-9 WRD

February 9, 2020February 9, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 43 Comments

Mr. Judy was slated for a short business trip the latter end of the week. The snow/ice had different plans for him, though, and he ended up having to reschedule. I have to admit I was looking forward to just cooking for myself and getting at some projects I wanted to tackle. On the other … Continue reading My Good Samaritan Moment: 2/3-9 WRD

Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD

February 2, 2020February 2, 2020 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 36 Comments

No big shock, I was very tired the beginning of the week. Last week was intense. Heck, the last half year (and more) was intense. I just wanted to come home & sleep for a million years. Of course life goes on, and even though I have to admit I wasn't super motivated this week, … Continue reading Searching for Vitamin D: 1/27-2/2 WRD

Moving into 2020: 12/23-29 WRD

December 29, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

It was a somewhat challenging week to get in movement, due to travel and weather, but I managed pretty well. Got together with friends, briefly, attended a party, was there for my family. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and continuing my run when I can theme -- and often walk when I … Continue reading Moving into 2020: 12/23-29 WRD

Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD

December 22, 2019December 22, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 39 Comments

Running went quite well this week. Paces are dropping a tad while HR is steady, all while pretty much running by feel. I got in a little more strength training, too. Snow flew, frigidly cold air moved in. Life, however, well, not so great. We have been pushing through getting my Dad into a nursing … Continue reading Still We Run: 12/16-22 WRD

Thawing out: 12/9-15 WRD

December 15, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 38 Comments

I thought we'd be going to my parents today, but we're going to try for tomorrow since my nephew (who lives in India -- yes, the country) will be visiting. So I didn't need to get that long run in on Friday, but then I didn't have to deal with the crazy wind today. I … Continue reading Thawing out: 12/9-15 WRD

Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD

December 9, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 32 Comments

Last night (yup, night) was probably my last race for 2019. There was a 5k I considered for next weekend, but the weather right now doesn't look great -- of course that can always change. This week was still a bit light in strength training, but I suppose I made up for that with all … Continue reading Wrapping up Racing: 12/2-8 WRD

It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD

December 1, 2019 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 26 Comments

Thanksgiving was spent with my parents, my sister and her kids, plus one of the couples my parents eat with on a regular basis. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great, and I have a strong feeling it might be my Dad's last Thanksgiving, but only time will tell. Not a whole lot of activity … Continue reading It’s bad when they name the storm: 11/25-12/1 WRD
