Yes, I think this might actually be spring, not false spring, second wintering, etc. Mother Nature seems to think so as everything is blooming even after last weekend’s deep freeze. Even as someone allergic to all the things that bloom, I love all the spring colors. It was a good, albeit busy, week. If you… Read More »
as you can tell, I had absolutely no fun at all and did not remotely hit my goal of finishing smiling 😉 This was fun, but can someone lop off a few of the hills in the Park? Linking up with Kim and Zenaida to discuss the February 2022, NYC Runs’ Central Park Half Marathon… Read More »
alternate title, the last line from last week: Oh hello March you wonderful gremlin you. Or, stolen from one of Coco’s comments, Marchuary. The boots weren’t needed for accumulation, but warmth as I dragged myself out in plummeting temperatures to pick up a library hold and get some fresh air. The booties are my new… Read More »
with a Florida vacation making up much of the latter. It was a delightful disconnect with no laptop, but I’ll have my race recap up soon. GoTheDist February 2022: 378,460 steps 177.52 miles run/walked 90.55 miles run Thanks, mild February. Ten more miles running and 48K more steps than last year. Not even the post-Florida… Read More »
Meant to mention this last week and I forgot. Listened to Victoria Sekely on the Strength Running podcast and it was amazing look at the role between prehab and PT and why strength training makes for better runners. Personally what applied the most to me is that I stayed uninjured. Without strength training, which included… Read More »
sort of? Not really? It’s been no secret that I have no idea whether I’m actually training for the Central Park half. Background: I was supposed to run the Frozen Penguin in early January, but it was cancelled due to Park construction and rather than run a 5K in January, I took a deferral to… Read More »
Baseball, cheesecake and naps. Not a cheese cake person, but there was ice cream. this week is always hard on the heels of grandma’s anniversary last week. My beloved aunt, who was really like a second grandmother and took care of me fro when I was five weeks old, died January 31, 2013 and Dad… Read More »
Yes, I can hear you laughing. That’s OK. I know you’re laughing with me in my excitement. I haven’t had a kitchen table I can sit at in a long time. This is semi self inflicted — when I bought a microwave a few years ago, which I had resisted for years for lack of… Read More »
anyone else remember that taunt? Kids are such shits (and yes, guilty of that on occasion). Monday evening I was saying it to myself as I thankfully laughed off a very minor fall. When I became an official runner and fell on a trail I was most worried about breaking my iPhone. Monday? Was most… Read More »
and to be honest, I really didn’t mind that much. It’s no secret I’ll take winter running over summer any day, and even when going for a walk, it’s more tolerable. That said, I did move some runs around and enjoy a lie-in Tuesday morning rather than a morning walk. I regret nothing. This week… Read More »
