Every inch of snow piled on our patio furniture here fell over the past week. (And then a few more inches – I took the photo Friday morning.) We don’t get the things-are-cancelled type of snow day, though. So it was business/running as (mostly) usual. Monday Rest day, technically, but I did a restorative yoga […]
2 weeks of wrap
A small confession about last week’s lack of wrap: I was in the middle of a book series, and I….kept reading. In my defense, weekday binge reading would have been problematic. Considering my last WW title was “suspiciously productive”, maybe this one should have been “suspiciously unproductive”. Anyway! Last we talked about running, my goal […]
Suspiciously productive: weekly wrap
Last week was one of those rare weeks where everything goes almost exactly to plan. Nearly everything on my to-do list got checked off…except those couple of errands that have been there for weeks because they don’t have any sort of deadline. I can’t give the running schedule change I talked about last week all […]
Juggling: weekly wrap
Since this semester started, I’ve been struggling to fit runs into my new schedule. So even though my injuries feel fully healed, I’ve been stuck around a 10 mile weekly total all year. This week I finally realized the source of the problem. Monday Planned to run in the evening, but got home much later […]
Unknotting: weekly wrap
Fridays have not been my day recently. But at least the rest of the days are pretty decent…here’s how they went last week. Monday Still feeling the vertigo that started last Friday. Fortunately today was a holiday, so I took a physical rest day and also a mental mostly-rest day. Tuesday Vertigo was still hanging […]
Get me off this boat: weekly wrap
(Not an actual boat. We’ll get there.) Kim reminded me last week that I forgot to “recap” my PT appointment. The PT ran through all the SI joint tests and said it was moving as it should; I managed to pop it back into place while doing the assigned exercises. The only thing I should […]
Jumping back in: weekly wrap
I returned from my not-really-vacation last Tuesday and jumped back in to school the next morning. With all the work I had planned to do the prior week still waiting for me, along with 2 classes starting (1 as TA, 1 as student), I had no time to get myself together before the weekend. But […]
Holiday recap/2019 plans
It’s been a few weeks. My holiday trip to visit family was unexpectedly extended due to a hospital stay (not mine – thus no details here – but things are relatively ok now). Thus, I’m on my way home today just in time for the official start of the semester tomorrow. Nope, I’m not anything […]
Setbacks and winging it: week in review
*screams* Ok, that was overly dramatic, I just needed to get it out. I came down with a cold yesterday, so I had to keep myself home today instead of heading out for several mild, sunny trail miles. But my bigger frustration is the hip pain I mentioned last week. I went to the physical therapist […]
Almost double digits: LCL recovery weeks 7/8
Last week I sat in front of my computer to write a weekly review and thought “ugh, one more thing to do”…so I closed the tab and didn’t. What a ridiculous attitude to have towards something 100% voluntary and supposedly fun, right? While it is end-of-semester crunch time, the last couple weeks were really more […]
