I should have titled this "spinning my wheels), because it felt like a busy week, but there were many things I didn't get done. I (personally) find it really hard to be as productive in the shorter days. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and enjoying less mileage. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (20 … Continue reading Winter Arrives: 11/14 – 20 WRD
Winter
Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
I'd like to say that Spring is marching in, but it sure seemed much more like Winter this week. A few dustings of snow, frigid temps with howling winds. Our hawks came back to roost, though, so surely Spring is on its way? I could have also titled this Breaking Away (remember that movie?), since … Continue reading Marching in: 3/1 – 7 WRD
Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
Wednesday had a high of 50F! Perfect running weather. I went to visit my mom; I got to enjoy the warmer weather on my hike there, but there was no time to run. I notice how much more birdsong there is these days, and the days staying light longer. Spring takes a long time to … Continue reading Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD
Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Snow. Ice. Cold. Not nearly as much as forecast, though -- in fact, much, much less (except the cold part). I was able to run outside twice. My heart goes out to my friends in Austin, even while I'm actually glad (for once!) that we live here and not there. I've been without power. I've … Continue reading Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Not HIITing It
Every Winter I go through the same routine, unless I'm training for a mid Winter half: I figure I'm not training for anything, so it's time to really hit the strength training. Often after months of ST taking a back seat to running. Fairytales and Fitness Not giving up on ST, but . . … Continue reading Not HIITing It
The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Somehow it seems as though mostly what I'm sharing is senior moments (not really -- but it feels that way!). And a long discourse on chihuahuas that I totally understand if you skip it. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . . … Continue reading The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Powering through Winter: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
It's a good thing February is the shortest month of the year, because it is often the worst month of winter. I know this, because my birthday is in February. In fact, that's the first thing I'd tell you this month over a nice cuppa green tea. Or maybe some ginger tumeric. Or hisbiscus . … Continue reading Powering through Winter: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
Hibernating would be great if I were living off my fat like a bear does. Except the only thing that really is hibernating is my activity -- unlike a bear, I'm still eating. I try to be more mindful and make better choices knowing that I'm not moving as much, but, as they say, #thestruggleisreal. … Continue reading Just hibernating: Spilling over tea/coffee January 2018
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
