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
Winter Running
All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
Another week at home, although I had a false alarm midweek. Physically my Dad is regaining some strength, but mentally not so much and it's only going to continue going downhill. Even with an aide, it's very hard on my Mom. On everyone, really. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing how … Continue reading All the leaves are brown: 11/18-24 WRD
Baby it’s cold out there: 11/11-17 WRD
A week at home (although I'm probably at my parents or on my way home as you read this -- just a visit) felt glorious. In fact, by Tuesday I felt extremely run down so I took a real rest day -- stayed in my pjs all day. Binged watched a few shows (mostly because … Continue reading Baby it’s cold out there: 11/11-17 WRD
Running through Winter: 3/4-10 WRD
We may have "sprung forward", and spring is technically just around the corner, but that doesn't always mean much up here in upstate NY. It was a very cold week until the weekend, and then there was snow and sleet this morning. We do have a warming trend coming up next week. It's definitely a … Continue reading Running through Winter: 3/4-10 WRD
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
5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter
I can be a Debbie Downer as much as the next girl, but not too long ago I wrote about how I hope to inspire people with this blog. Today's subject for the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy is 5 winter fitness rants. Only five? I could probably write a book. … Continue reading 5 Ways to Get Out the Door in Winter
