Missing Out On Our Snow Day

Posted on January 20, 2019 by Coco

Not surprisingly, last weekend’s snow led to closures on Monday. The local federal government was closed, so our office was closed, but I still had to go to Delaware for a hearing. Even though the storm moved on to the northeast, they didn’t get as much snow there. So, I missed out on our first snow day of 2019 and am hoping for another one when I can stay home and enjoy it.

Weekly Wrap

Aside from that, my week was pretty uneventful, so I’m going to jump right into my weekly wrap and linking up with Wendy and Holly.

Doubling Up Workouts To Kick Off The New Year

Posted on January 6, 2019 by Coco

I hope the first week of 2019 has been good to you!

I think I’m also confused because I adjusted my workout schedule around the holiday and even ended up doubling up workouts a few days.

Weekly Wrap

I’ll make up for those double workouts this week, since I have a business trip with flights that will prevent Wednesday and Friday workouts.

Wrapping Up 2018

Posted on December 30, 2018 by Coco

We are down to the last hours of 2018, and I am taking Holly and Wendy up on their offer to use this week’s Weekly Wrap to spend some time wrapping up 2018. It’s fun to look back and remember the races, bike rides, hikes, and Scooby Miles that made the year so special.

In case you missed it, I also did some looking back in my December Runfessions.
