  • Still here: weekly rundown

    Posted on April 13, 2020April 13, 2020

    My writing brain has been working overtime the past few weeks, since that’s the vast majority of the work I’m able to do from home. So I’m still here, everything’s ok, I just don’t always have the brainpower to write a blog post. A summary of the past three weeks: March 23-29: 16.7 miles A […]

  • Normal/not normal: weekly run down

    Posted on March 23, 2020March 23, 2020

    I’m not a medical professional or a journalist and I know we’re all overwhelmed with the amount of COVID info we see daily, so I’m going to try to keep that to a minimum here. Just one thing I am going to complain about first: a lot of people here seem to think going for […]

  • Weekly rundown: the “I hate spring” edition

    Posted on March 1, 2020March 1, 2020

    Everything is itchy, I can’t sleep, and the trails are starting to turn into mud puddles. And yes, I do know it’s not technically spring yet. It’s mostly going to get worse for the next several weeks. Not much running to talk about this week, since it was a recovery week in my training plan […]

  • I will not run a marathon but I will run an ultra

    Posted on February 21, 2020February 25, 2020

    Of course, technically it’s necessary to run the distance of a marathon to finish an ultra. And while you could not talk me into registering for a (road) marathon, here I am training for a 50K. (Or maybe a 55K; I haven’t decided on the race yet.) I’m not lying about never running a marathon […]

  • Finally winter: (three) weekly rundown

    Posted on February 9, 2020February 9, 2020

    I know, three-weekly is nonsense grammar, but you know what I mean. I also know it’s been winter for a while in most places, but ours has been unseasonably warm and dry. It’s still warm, relatively speaking, but it’s at least finally snowing. 1/20 – 1/26 Tuesday: 5 miles. Warm enough that trails were very […]

  • Life with an overactive immune system: weekly rundown

    Posted on January 19, 2020January 19, 2020

    This week went off plan because my immune system did its thing and its thing is overreacting. But I got back on track by the end of the week and at least ended up with about the same mileage as last week. Monday: strength workout. Tuesday: 4.8 miles. Then I got my tetanus shot Tuesday afternoon […]

  • Back at it: weekly rundown

    Posted on January 12, 2020January 12, 2020

    I missed the rundown last week, but I did post, if you want to hear about New Year’s resolutions and books. So that leaves me with 3 weeks to recap – I’ll do the earlier two very briefly and a more “normal” rundown of last week. 12/23 – 12/28: 5.6 miles 5.6 Two runs. Traveling, […]
