If you're coming up to run Mohawk Hudson/Hannoford Marathon/Half next month, just watch out for those acorns! In 10+ years of running I've never been hit by one, until this week. Damn, those things hurt! Did it just naturally fall or did some angry squirrel throw it at me? Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah … Continue reading Watch out for the acorns!: 9/23 -29 WRD

It’s a Miracle: 9/16 -22 WRD
I was listening to a talk this morning and they shared this quote from Albert Einstein: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. I realized that even though I'm a pretty positive person, I have gotten … Continue reading It’s a Miracle: 9/16 -22 WRD
Reverse Mommobile: 9/9- 15 WRD
Kudos to all you moms out there who are taxiing your kids around all the time. Usually I'm the furmobile, as I like to call it. For much of this week, though, I was driving my mom around. Back and forth to the hospital every day. Shopping and errands. It was another intense week! I … Continue reading Reverse Mommobile: 9/9- 15 WRD
Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
Normally I copy this post on Sunday or Monday and start filling it in as the week goes on. I knew I hadn't been doing much with the post, but on Friday I realized I hadn't even started it! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing juggling activity with a stressful, … Continue reading Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Another quiet week, and the last of my YTT calls. It's amazing how much information we were exposed to -- many students who are already teachers commented on how it was far more in depth than what they went through in an in person training. But just how much of it have I actually absorbed? … Continue reading Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD
Yet more rain (and thunderstorms), a return of heat & humidity, some hiking, a bit less running, and a taste test. That's what went down this week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, Brandi @ Funnerrunner, Anna Louise @ Graciouswarriorprincess, Briana … Continue reading Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD
Summer slow down: 8/5- 11 WRD
Quite a bit of rain this week, although my treadmill runs were just due to circumstances, like going to my parents and knowing it takes me less time to run on the mill -- and wouldn't ruin my hair, either. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking … Continue reading Summer slow down: 8/5- 11 WRD
Solo not so Solo running: 6/17-23 WRD
We're still getting plenty of rain -- it rained almost every day this week (except today) but boy with the arrival of Summer it sure warmed up in a hurry. Another good week of running, and even a short trail race thrown in today for fun. The first time in many years that I headed … Continue reading Solo not so Solo running: 6/17-23 WRD
Running because you want to: 6/10-16 WRD
Although the trail series is going on in my neck of the woods (free trail runs at various locations), I've yet to make it to one (the one trail run I did do was a different group). It's either threatened rain, been raining, or I just didn't want to tackle the mud. Plus they're usually … Continue reading Running because you want to: 6/10-16 WRD
8 Ways I Recovered from My Longest Runs Ever
While my longest long runs were definitely a bit of a struggle, I recovered from them really well. I am joining the Friday Five 2.0 from Fairytales & Fitness and Rachel @ Running on Happy and sharing eight, not five, things I did to recover properly. Most taken from my own posts on recovery! Walk it in I try … Continue reading 8 Ways I Recovered from My Longest Runs Ever
