The temps dropped 40 degrees over night. Goodbye Spring, "welcome back" Winter. Gratefully it's just a bump in the road on the way to "real" Spring. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and slowly adding on a little mileage. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (40 min), Dogwalk, PB ST (25 min) Tuesday: Yoga (40 … Continue reading Spring is a Bumpy Ride: 3/27 – 4/2 WRD

It’s a Bird; No, it’s . . . : 3/20 – 26 WRD
It took all week but the snow mostly melted and I was even able to run on the bike path again. Read on down to this week's Favorites to see what I saw while running on Wednesday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and slowly adding on a little mileage. Workouts update Monday: … Continue reading It’s a Bird; No, it’s . . . : 3/20 – 26 WRD
Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
Hoping this was the last big storm -- and by big, I mean the biggest storm of the Winter. More branches came down, but the fence held, and so did our power (although many were not that lucky). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and another decent week of fitness with two … Continue reading Survival Week: 3/13 – 19 WRD
Celebrating a Milestone: 3/6 – 12 WRD
Many of you who follow me on Facebook know my mom turned 95 on Friday. Luckily the weather held so we could celebrate with her (along with my sister, my brother, and our spouses). I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and sharing a nice mix of fitness this week. Running into Spring. … Continue reading Celebrating a Milestone: 3/6 – 12 WRD
Slowly & Steadily: 2/27 – 3/5 WRD

The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
There is a local race called the Icebreaker Challenge. Although I've never run it, the premise is can you beat rowers? It takes place in "Spring", hence the name. Actually this year it takes place on what would have been my Dad's 97th birthday. But no, I'm not planning to run it. However, there was … Continue reading The Icebreaker Challenge: 2/20 – 26 WRD
A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
It's so rare that we have nice weather for my birthday. Of course I spent a lot of it in the car, but not having to do all the driving is always a treat -- and the next day was Spring-like. We are back to Winter-like temps today, but it was amazing how much energy … Continue reading A Birthday Surprise: 2/13 – 19 WRD
Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Looking at the week, it doesn't look like I did that much. Not noted is the three Yoga videos I filmed this week -- finally catching up a bit. I actually cleaned a lot of our windows, too -- it's been bothering me for a while, and the longer days are helping my energy. The … Continue reading Catching some rays: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Welcome Home: 1/30 – 2/5 WRD
I am happy (once again) to be home. While I have to work out when I'll next go see my mom, other than that, hopefully, I'll be staying put for a while and enjoying the longer days. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and easing back into activity . . . again. … Continue reading Welcome Home: 1/30 – 2/5 WRD
Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD
Last Sunday it was goodbye to my high school friend's mother. This week it was goodbye to Mr. Judy's uncle. Although relatively young (early 80s) and relatively healthy, he'd been in the hospital with pancreatitis almost a month. They were actually talking about him going home -- and then in a few days he was … Continue reading Two Goodbyes: 1/23 – 29 WRD
