It wasn't sunny all week long -- of course there was some rain! -- but sunflowers will cheer up anybody. A fun day with a friend, short and sweet running, and strength. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and taking it easy this week. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), 3 miles with … Continue reading Buzzing with Sunshine: 8/21 – 27 WRD

Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
It was a busy week (for me, for some this would be all in a day!). We saw Mission Impossible and I gathered with my running friends outside of running for the first time pretty much since the Pandemic. Plus a little drive for lobster rolls & ice cream. So how did running go? I'm … Continue reading Funny Business: 8/14 – 20 WRD
Mosquitoes 6, Me 1: 8/7 – 8/13 WRD
I didn't mention the fact that Mr. Judy was off visiting his mom last week, since I don't like to broadcast that -- that was the main reason for a lack of sleep mid week. He came back in the middle of the night before my Wednesday run. The title refers to the fact that … Continue reading Mosquitoes 6, Me 1: 8/7 – 8/13 WRD
Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
At the beginning of the week it was beginning to feel -- and actually look -- a lot like Fall. Yes, I've noticed a few trees already beginning to turn. A very welcome break from the heat, humidity, bad air, and rain of most of July. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner … Continue reading Hello, Fall: 7/31 – 8/6 WRD
Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
It was another busy week, but this time at least there were some fun things on the calendar! Normally I'd be going to see my mom again next week, but when a BBQ took my sister there this week, I decided I could use a little breather. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ … Continue reading Overdue on the Trails: 7/24 – 30 WRD
How to get strong?: 7/17 – 23 WRD
When three of my friends in their early 70s broke something in the last six months, I stood up and took notice. I vaguely remember my mom, too, breaking or fracturing a foot or ankle at around the time (in addition to the breast cancer diagnosis) -- and my Dad also broke a wrist from … Continue reading How to get strong?: 7/17 – 23 WRD
Brighter Days: 7/10 – 16 WRD
Well, the weather continues to be mostly wet, hot, or humid -- or all three, so that's not so much brighter. But Bandit continues to improve, even going into his crate of his own volition to eat again towards the end of the week. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and yeah, … Continue reading Brighter Days: 7/10 – 16 WRD
In the Groove: 7/3 – 9 WRD
We are, for now, in a decent place with Bandit. He seems to be feeling perkier and we've narrowed it down to meds in tuna 3 x day with 3 small meals a day -- and he's eating better. Before it was like 6 mini meals which he wouldn't even necessarily eat plus the meds … Continue reading In the Groove: 7/3 – 9 WRD
Settling in: 6/26 – 7/2 WRD
Whether it's a human or a beloved animal, a serious health diagnosis is always hard, and you have to experiment your way to a new normal. I know many bloggers here are struggling with that, too. For the moment I think we've mostly found what works for Bandit, and the coughing is almost nonexistent, so … Continue reading Settling in: 6/26 – 7/2 WRD
Ticking Time Bomb: 6/19 – 25 WRD
It was all about the ticks this week. We did everything right: long pants tucked into socks, I was also wearing a jacket with tight wrists, using repellent, checking ourselves before getting in the car. Yet as I was going to bed on Sunday I found a tick attached to my underarm. Yuck & creepy! … Continue reading Ticking Time Bomb: 6/19 – 25 WRD
