Linking up with Deborah and Kim for a look back at the year so far. Yep, this is another overdue post despite starting it a month ago. Seems to be my theme! On June 11 I realized I was way behind in my mileage spreadsheet. I knew why, my running has fallen off. Frequency and… Read More »
One of my unwritten 2023 goals was more self care. Sometimes the tool to accomplish that is a screen break. I was grateful too to be able to spend some time outdoors, which is always medicinal. While I worked from Mom & Bob’s one day, it was also wonderful to take a true vacation. Linking… 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 »
It was a good week and so much fun to run “with” all of you. By my count we had nine states, six time zones and four countries represented. We absolutely nailed the “global” piece of it and had two other states and a country who weren’t able to get pics in. It was also… Read More »
I had no goals for this race and never care about place, but when I saw him later on an out and back at mile eleven or so, I just knew that I was not going to lose to a banana! In fall 2021, I had great plans for this to be a Goal Race.… Read More »
running the hell away from 2021? I remain grateful to be healthy, working but I am utterly and totally over the last two years. A look back at 2021: GoTheDist December: 380,678 steps 176.74 miles run/walked 88.49 miles run (when did that become a cutback month total!) GoTheDist Q4 1,220,598 steps (yes, I remember well… Read More »
One of my 2021 goals: Start the year on pace for 900 miles. That was originally my hard goal for 2021, but as I mentioned, I have no idea what running will look like once we return to the office. Even if I’m ready to return to the gym to shower at that point, there’s… Read More »
July came in like a furnace with heat indices over 100 and ended with a 60 degree morning run, and no I’m not in Stowe (yet). This won’t last, but I treasured it on Saturday. I won’t miss the summer heat, but there’s something carefree about summer, even amid COVID-19 that I will miss. There… Read More »
That’s all I have to say about the weather, especially as I’m quite lucky compared to those in the Pacific North West. It was miserable here, but not unsafe. To those of you who can run happily in this, more power to you. While I quit chasing steps, I still log them. Here’s where I… Read More »
how on earth did that happen? January 6, 2017 was a cold and rainy day and I dreaded the idea of walking forever on the gym treadmill for steps. On a whim (and without a sports bra), I decided to speed up the pace a little. January 6, 2021 I set out for four miles,… Read More »
