but this year? It felt even more chaotic. I do love what I do, but sometimes it’s a lot to balance. Trying to get back to weekly updates and more caught up on comments. Linking up with Deborah and Kim for some semblance of a run down of the last two weeks. There were new… Read More »
Unlike some of you, I’m not sorry to see the weather go. I will miss the long daylight though. If we have a heat wave it’s because I took out the AC. I missed the breeze in my apartment. 2023 will be the year I replace my wall unit. I packed a lot into this… Read More »
Oh what an absolutely wonderful whirlwind trip it was. Trying not to double up, so the vast majority of pics are on Facebook or my Instagram under #IveComeToLookForAmerica, a fun tag I adopted for my 50 state chase. State 40 of 50, oddly done twenty years after Hawaii, the other hardest one from an East… Read More »
Celebrating the fourth anniversary of us finally running together in person. It’s hard when it falls on a weekday with work schedules and the the time difference, but Liz and I always enjoy the fun. We couldn’t run at the same time this year, and I didn’t have time to do the distance, but even… Read More »
Original intro, and then this post got delayed three weeks: no point in a weekly run down since I barely ran in Alaska. Nothing wrong, conscious decision to focus on hiking on top of half marathon recovery. Working on a recap of the trip, which will cover what little but gorgeous running happened. *tap* *tap*… Read More »
also, this was absolutely spot on for this week’s weather. I blinked and missed July. Wasn’t it just July 4th? Not complaining at all as I’m eager for fall weather, but hello time warp. A fast July brought me closer to vacation, which is always a good thing. It’s going to be a laptop free… Read More »
I think it was two years ago I joked we’d all be making the same weather post. But once again, we’re all cooking. Stay safe everyone. I’m not doing a minute by minute of the last two weeks since they boiled down to: it’s hot, but I still ran, including with Darlene when she was… Read More »
for as much as I thought January-May were fairly slow, I blinked and missed June. My running cutback lasted exactly May as I realized on Thursday morning that I was within spitting distance of a hundred mile month. I didn’t get there because it was just too oppressively hot and humid, but 96.87 miles brings… Read More »
crosstraining Cari? However you want to call it, a fun thing happened this week. I was on Roosevelt Island Sunday and wanted to go to the northern tip to see the renovated lighthouse and new Nellie Bly installation, but wasn’t feeling the walk. Not pain but my legs were just tired. Less activity but not… Read More »
The highlight of a good week. This has been the reason so many office run groups have been noted as a schedule conflict. But it all paid off as the NY/NJ bid moved forward as a host city for 2026. So glad to celebrate the announcement in person at a watch party in Liberty State… Read More »
