Why are Runners Stupid?: 1/15 – 21 WRD

I mean seriously I should know better. So I got on the treadmill Monday, and while the left foot felt reasonable, I’d tried out some new walking shoes the day before. I’d loosened the laces but I guess they were still too tight. I knew it was hurting to run (and doing a little speedwork) but I figured it’s only 2 miles. Not at all a good idea. I’m joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and trying to find a shoe that doesn’t hurt and not running (but doing other forms of fitness). Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), 2 TM miles, Yoga Tuesday: Yoga (30 mi ..read more

Thankfully I’m feeling okay (well, except for the foot — which is on and off) — but sleep has been meh for a while. So it was a scaled back week, but there was a nice mixture of fitness all the same and I’m okay with it. I’d rather rest more than get sick by pushing too hard.. I’m joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and trying to find that right balance between activity and recovery. Workouts update Monday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk Tuesday: Yoga (30 min), 3 miles easy, Dogwalk, Yoga Wednesday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk Thursday: Yoga (30 min), Dogwalk, Barr ..read more

. . chilly running was the name of the game this week! It wasn’t too bad though. I got in my runs, but struggled with getting in some strength training (again). At least all three runs this week were outside! Especially as it’s supposed to snow all day today. I’m joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and coasting into 2024.

I’m joining  Coco and Deborah and grateful that my sister was on hand for the return of my mom’s regular aide. I haven’t actually spoken with my sister, but I assume things went okay. Although the aide needed to renew her certificate and that made her come later in the day — just another reason I was glad that duty didn’t fall to me. The aide has already sent me a shopping list . . . If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I’d tell you that I wrote about our Turducken experience when last we met over hot beverages (click here). It’s the gift that keeps on giving — so far I think w ..read more

Let’s just say all sorts of plans got screwed up in the last couple of weeks, the end result being that we are going to visit my mom today — and that means only two runs this week. Not at all the plan but it is what it is. On the brighter side, Albie the Albino squirrel has been entertaining us with their (don’t know its gender) antics more than ever lately. I’m joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and ready to welcome in 2024!

In November if was wrist pain and a very stiff neck for a long time — both of those pains resolved. But the niggles never seem to end, do they? Although some days this one is more than a niggle. I runfess . . . It seems I’ve finally fallen prey to Plantar Fasciitis. I think. It’s not bad enough to seek out PT (and of course seemed worse right after my annual). I don’t wear shoes like this anymore! | Photo by Gift Habeshaw on Pexels.com I runfess . . . I couldn’t understand it. Seriously, there hasn’t been much running, or hard running either. How is this possible? I runfess . . . I thought my ..read more

This week started out great. I’ve been feeling and recovering better than I have been in weeks. I went to bed Tuesday night feeling fine, and woke up a few hours later feeling not fine at all — luckily, that only seemed to last a day. Very weird!

Not a whole lot going on this week. Well, not so much fitness — but fitness is still happening. Does fitness mean pushing myself to exhaustion? No, definitely not. My Garmin says I run more than 74% of women my age. Which is kind of funny, don’t you think? I’m joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and coasting towards the new year.

I’m joining  Coco and Deborah and sharing our thoughts on the Turducken. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I’d tell you that I was so glad I got to the store early the day before Thanksgiving; I had some groceries to pick up including the Turducken, which I’d signed up to pick up at 9 am (but I got to the store around 8:30 am). As I was asking a worker where the pickup was, he said right here! And checked on my order, which wasn’t quite ready yet. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .Imagine my surprise when I was all the way across the store and the same worker brought me my ..read more
