Nothing wrong, just a super busy week. I’ll be honest, I forgot how hard it was to get runs in pre WFH and between three days in the office and it being museum o’clock, my windows were tight. Also had two mornings where I was in run clothes but couldn’t get out the door. I… Read More »
no… not running. July has been decently back on track. It was worse when I woke, but I apparently deleted the screenshot it was so horrifying. But I gave up melting for no good reason and re-joined the gym. Running should be challenging, and can be hard, but shouldn’t be miserable. Joining Deborah and Kim… Read More »
It has been a good last twelve months for running reads: Molly Huddle and Sara Slattery’s How She Did It, Lauren Fleshman’s Good for a Girl, Alison Mariela Desir’s Running While Black in fall 2022 and then Kara Goucher and Des Linden’s books in March and April, respectively. I said somewhere that I was glad their… 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 »
one of the things I’ve missed since 2018* is travel spontaneity. With COVID-19, the planning life cycle was both longer and shorter, if that makes sense. I’d be thinking abut a trip further in advance, but I hesitated to book because I wasn’t sure if the thing I was going for would happen, flights would… Read More »
it was also a crazy busy week, but with fun stuff, which is part of what made it a good week. Linking up with Deborah and Kim to talk about fun on (and off) the run. never miss a Monday: after meeting up Sunday, Darlene and I had a plan to maybe run in… Read More »
I don’t over spoil my biological niece, nephew or my college rooommate’s children who are functionally my niece and nephew, but is it possible to say no to Disney for an eight year old’s birthday? Did I even want to if it was indeed possible? Probably not. Related runfession, I ran on the treadmill twice… 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 »
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 »
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 »
