Damp & Dreary; Not the Least Bit Weary

Rain, rain, and more rain.

Last week’s 7-day forecast looked damp, and it wasn’t too far off. Not only were we blessed with almost daily precip, we also had plenty of humidity during the “dry” periods between the rainfall. To coin what should be a patented mantra, at least it wasn't snowing.

A Not-So-Normal Week

Talk about your out-of-the-ordinary weeks!

The fitness remained on-track, thankfully , but there were several instances of non-routine variables mixed-in to this week’s routine. Although I had to get a little creative, and utilize some flexibility with my schedule, all went off without a hitch.

 After all, it’s not a bad thing to deviate from the norm once in awhile…

NewBo 10K-ish Race Recap

 

It’s a wonderful thing when all goes well on race day.

What’s even better is when things go much better than anticipated

Case-in-point: The NewBo 10K-ish!

Although I’m no stranger to this event (I ran the half marathon back in 2018 and 2019), this was my first time tackling the 10K-ish distance. We had been pre-warned the 10K route would “run” a little long, and they weren’t exaggerating. As they say, fore-warned is fore-armed…  

The HEAT is still ON!

Oof, the heat is back on!

Mind you, it didn’t disappear for very long, but it certainly returned with a vengeance. We were flirting with triple digits most of the week, along with extreme humidity. As I’ve said before, at least it wasn’t snowing. 

How About A Heated Coffee Chat

Anyone up for a “heated” coffee chat? 

I’m asking because the temps have been flirting with triple digits, and there’s no immediate chill in the air. I’m a devoted hot beverage gal, no matter the season, so I’m content with the situation. 

Care to join the conversation?

Still Feels LIke Summer

 How is August (already) coming to a close? 

Anyone have an answer? Anyone? Bueller? 

My best defense, in terms of the upcoming change of seasons, is to embrace every remaining moment of Summer while it’s still clear and present. Thankfully, this week afforded me such a luxury! 

End of Summer ‘Fessions

 

…and, just like that, it feels like Summer has hit the gas pedal, full throttle, and is speeding outta here.

While most are ecstatic for the heat to leave, I’m not in that camp, LOL. While that’s not a new revelation, it always surprises me how quickly the summer season comes to an end. Even with a few sporadic remaining heat waves to enjoy, the diminishing daylight is always a buzzkill. 

That being said, it’s great timing to hit the ‘Fessional with some late-Summer ‘fessions. Believe it or not, there’s plenty to discuss. 

If you’ll allow me to begin…
