Weekly Wrap – Looking for Spring

After dealing with a 3rd nor'easter in a little over 2 weeks, to say I'm ready for spring would be a huge understatement! Storm aside, it was a fairly uneventful week. J and the boys were away enjoying some skiing for spring break, leaving me … [Continue reading]

Keeping my eye on the prize

If you read last week's wrap up then you know I was contemplating taking a DNS on the Black Cat 10 miler thanks to a very cranky piriformis. The truth is I knew even as I was typing that post that the chances of my actually running Black Cat were … [Continue reading]

Weekly Wrap – Looking for a Silver Lining

Happy Sunday! It has been one whirlwind of a week and I am so happy to be on the backside of it. Before I put it firmly in my rearview mirror, let's recap shall we? Monday - Rest day, as usual. Completed plank streak day 57 and 100 Bird-Dogs … [Continue reading]

Coffee and a Nor’easter

The winds are still gusting here following yesterday's Nor'easter, and if my neighborhood is any example than I can only imagine that there are tree branches and other debris all over the roads. Happily, our power's back on so I can fire up the … [Continue reading]

Looking forward to March

Black Cat Week 7 – Trying to be patient

So I should be wrapping up week 7 of training for the Black Cat 10-miler, but the reality is very little training has been going on. I went down with the flu two weeks ago, and while I thought I was over the worse of it last weekend, I'm learning … [Continue reading]

Emerging from Flu Fog

There's no way to sugar coat it - this past week was one long and u-g-l-y week! I developed an annoying hacking cough late Sunday and by Monday morning I was a wreck. By Tuesday it was clear I had some serious virus or strain of the flu happening. … [Continue reading]

Weekly Wrap – Black Cat Training Week 5

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am counting down to the start of the game and cheering on the Patriots! But before I get to football, food, and beer I'm joining hosts Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap. If you post a weekly training update definitely … [Continue reading]

Catching Up Over Coffee

These past few days (weeks!) have been a blur - time for a quick catch up over coffee. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I'm declaring February my "do over" month. High hopes of getting out the gates fast on a number of things to … [Continue reading]
