Today is one of those days where everything I have planned, has gotten derailed. I planned to run, then spend the day cleaning and studying. It didn’t quite work out that way, but there is a silver lining. I’ll start at the beginning… Today I planned to give my new sneakers their first run. So [...]

I found myself humming that song today, as the rain blew out of here and today became a beautiful summer day. I’ve told you how much my dear husband dislikes vegetables…Given that, I take it as a true sign of love that he planned a surprise trip for me today to a farm….specifically to buy [...]
A Sunnier Day (despite the rain)
Posted in Uncategorized on August 29, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It is pouring outside. Tropical Storm Danny has been blowing through all day. Not a lot of wind, but crazy amounts of rain. But despite the rain, I am feeling a lot sunnier. I didn’t beat myself up for overeating yesterday. However, I wasn’t particularly pleased with the coping mechanism I chose to handle my [...]

This is a day that I would rather not write about. Of course, I don’t have to…But then I think about all of the very honest, candid posts other bloggers have written, and I feel like like I need to report on my day of indulgence. One of the things that made me hesitate in [...]
Success!

That was a very successful expedition to the Greater Boston Running Company. Not only were the 2 employees knowledgeable, they were also very patient and answered all of my questions. I brought my old sneakers with the hole worn into the side and explained where the pain has been. I was told, for one, that [...]

I know there are a lot of animal lovers out there. I am most definitely a lover of all furry critters and I’ve introduced you to my munchkins, Jack and Rudy. When we recently moved, Jack and Rudy spend 2 weeks at my parent’s house so they wouldn’t be scared by the boxes, the movers, [...]
Glued to the Screen

What a day! I’ve been glued to the computer screen all day! 3 of the 4 courses I am taking this fall are on-line course (for Biology, only the course work is on-line, and then I go into the lab for the lab work.) As this is my first foray into on-line learning, I spent [...]

So yesterday I began easing back into running after 3+ weeks of taking it easy. I ran a slow and short 3.3 miles and felt pretty good. Today I am a bit sore. Not horribly, but I certainly wasn’t going to run again today. Instead, I hit the elliptical. That motion doesn’t cause any pain, [...]
Introducing the “North Dakota Burrito”

Tonight, I would like to introduce you to the “North Dakota Burrito.” My dear husband created this masterpiece in honor of his home state. Growing up in North Dakota, Dave says that he never ate vegetables, with the exception of “the occasional carrot.” No vegetables, no whole wheat, certainly not tofu! And definitely no spices! [...]
Back in the Saddle Again

After a birthday evening full of fun desserts, my mom and I headed to the fitness center this morning. (When we buy a home, hopefully next year, I will be ecstatic! But in the meantime, living in an apartment community with a fitness center and a pool, is quite a cushy lifestyle! ) I digress…. [...]
