I find it's easier to get in more fitness during the Summer -- how about you? I seem to have settled into a groove of running 4 x week, even though that wasn't a goal. I told myself I was only going to run 3 x this week, but oops. After a very hot and … Continue reading Settling into a Groove: 6/7 – 13 WRD

The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
It was a somewhat busy week with a trip to my mom and an early long run. Very glad I got that done before Summer started to come back again! I used to run very early all the time, but over the years I've found that can feel tiring after a while -- even though … Continue reading The one with animals & easy hiking: 5/31 – 6/6 WRD
Inching towards normal: 5/24 – 30 WRD
It was a busy but quiet week, if that makes sense. I thought it would be a cut back week but I finally added in a fourth (short) run this week. Mainly because of the cooler weather at the end of the week! Next week it'll be a juggling act to get in three, I … Continue reading Inching towards normal: 5/24 – 30 WRD
Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Last week we kinda went from almost Winter to Spring, but I could see looking ahead that we were rapidly moving into Summer. Which we did. Suddenly I was running earlier and earlier and it was getting warmer and warmer. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and trading pace for effort. Workouts update … Continue reading Hello, Summer!: 5/17 – 23 WRD
Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
Most of my family gathered for Mother's Day, which made my mom kvell (happy & proud, essentially, in Yiddish). Then the next day we buried my Dad. We visited the graves of my brother (who died before I was born), and my Aunt & Uncle who are also buried in that cemetery. The drive down, … Continue reading Welcome Spring (for now): 5/10 – 16 WRD
The Final, Final Goodbye: 5/3 – 9 WRD
Although we said goodbye to my Dad over a year ago, Monday we are laying him to rest, near his parents and his first born son (who died before I was born) and some other relatives. I hope this gives my Mom closure -- although we don't expect that she'll be there, we know it … Continue reading The Final, Final Goodbye: 5/3 – 9 WRD
Here we go again: 4/26 – 5/2 WRD
There's your Dolly Parton earworm for the day! You're welcome! That's how I feel though -- or maybe it's just Groundhog Day the movie. I feel like I've had to start over, over and over this year. Hopefully now I can rebuild and stay strong! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and … Continue reading Here we go again: 4/26 – 5/2 WRD
I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
Another week where I knew I would have limited time to get in fitness. Glad that I decided to do my long run on Monday -- it sure wasn't going to happen after my vaccine! I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running into that second vaccine. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (20 min), … Continue reading I Did Not Throw Away My Shot: 4/19 – 25 WRD
All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
I had to cram a lot of fitness into the first part of my week this week, so it's been a very busy couple of weeks. I wrote this post as the week went along; so much easier to remember what happened that way. I get my second vaccine next week. Moderna is known for … Continue reading All the Seasons: 4/12 – 18 WRD
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
