This title brought to you by a successful return to racing in the form of the 2021 Women’s Mini. Due to the cancellation of the 2021 Frozen Penguin, the Mini is officially the race I’ve run the most: 2017, 2018 and 2019. More to come on 2021 later this week but in short: it […]
but first a little rewind.. My do-nothing Sunday to close last week’s wrap ended up as a nice strength day, which made up for the fact that I literally did not leave my apartment. Haven’t had one of those days in a while but 40s and pouring rain? No thanks. The most exciting news in […]
or really who stole 2021? This year is absolutely flying by. Not complaining, I’m just not sure how it is Memorial Day Weekend already. Of course the weather to end the weekend also brought back this theme from early May last year. Give me unseasonably cold over last weekend’s unseasonably hot any day. Weekly Run […]
that title sounds so dramatic, which it isn’t meant to be, but not sure how else to phrase it. As we move back toward normalcy, whatever that means, post covid-19, the weekend of May 15-16 was my first chance to look at how to integrate my covid running routine with “real life”. I knew that […]
for as much as “dancing” had to do with my running journey, the two songs somehow that aren’t on my playlists are: The Drifters Save the Last Dance and Shania’s Dance With the One That Brought You. Yet it was with an earful of a hybrid of both song’s lyrics this week as I approached […]
or at least it does for this runner. Amid the 900 emails that NYRR sends, I saw and read the one for the Women’s Mini, which I have a love/hate relationship with: 2017: one of my first 10Ks 2018: thinking my way through why I love/hate 10Ks 2019: trying to game plan a better race […]
So glad so many were able to “join” me in the 9/11 Virtual 5K. In honor of the twentieth anniversary, the museum is remembering and celebrating the 9/12 spirit when the world came together. Throughout these last couple of years, I’ve really missed that and I’m hoping we can remember how to get back to […]
turns out all the troubleshooting in the world on the comments wouldn’t have worked since it was a host setting. I love my apartment, I love the city, but there’s just something magical about a porch to sit on. I escaped to mom & Bob’s for a day and uncovering the porch furniture is always […]
ETA: Commenting is back. Live post from this week is here. Grateful for the backup, but glad to be back here. running? No, that was four in January. Three years blogging with all of you after I “met” Coco in the comments of my Cherry Blossom 10M recap. Fitting because a theme of this post […]
A good weird week, but still a weird one. Routine was a little upside down, but you roll with it. Also, I got excited about cooking something that wasn’t salmon, which never happens. OK, I should say making, not cooking, but utterly obsessed with Deborah’s dill pickle ranch dressing. It made my baby carrots way […]
