Finding Radiance

Last day of the work week for me!  Thursday’s are run days for me.   I snacked on a couple pieces of protein waffles with jam before hitting the gym.  This was a nice snack.  It’s also good to know this recipe does well reheated in the toaster oven.

I ran with a download from jogtunes that [...]

Tuesday run day!  Since I did 3 miles yesterday, I did 5 today (usually 6).  Pretty standard treadmill run.  I was checking my Daily Mile log and I have run 152 miles since January 1st!    And I don’t consider myself a runner first.  Interesting….  [...]

Happy Thursday and the last day of my work week!  Yay!  I *finally* will get 2 whole days off in a row.  I need it.  Headed off to do my run at the gym.  I put on some music from the jog tunes indie podcast and just used that to do my different speedwork with.  [...]

Ah Saturday. I get to sleep in just a bit since my gym doesn’t open until 8 am. I had a pre-run snack of dates and almond butter.

If you haven’t tried this combo, you must.  It’s delicious, particularly if you have the soft medjool dates.
Passing some time before leaving the house always means [...]

Happy Saturday!  So cold here today.  Sunny and beautiful, but only about 20 degrees.  There are times I am glad for the treadmill, and today was one of them.  I’m all ready to hit the gym as soon as they open here!

For those that ask (or wonder), this photo shows an example of loose skin [...]

I have to say, this weather has been really cold!  It has not been above freezing for a couple weeks now, I think.    No precip, so the air has been very dry.  It’s so hard to get out to go to the gym and get in a cold car (but better than [...]

Lots of great tips on the giveaway thread!  And ‘hi’ to the new peeps visiting!    I need to do a giveaway open to everyone soon.  Need to see who I can hit up what I can arrange.
With the weirdness at the gym yesterday, I wasn’t feeling like going there and running on the [...]

Happy Thursday and the start of my weekend!  I managed to consume a fair amount of dark chocolate chips last night.   It was one of those evenings where I couldn’t seem to make myself stop.  So, I got up for a treadmill run today.  I ate a toasted waffle with a [...]

Some slick sidewalks, so I am pretty much sticking to treadmill running for now.  Last winter I just exercised at home as I did not belong to a gym.  We don’t own a treadmill, so my outdoor running was really weather and neighbor side-walk shoveling dependent.  Now with the gym, I can still keep up [...]

Okay, it’s too cold even for me to run outside at below 30 degrees!  I feel silly going to the gym just to run, but I wanted to have it over and done with.  Had a snacky of dates and almond butter that I made the other day.

Hit the treadmill for 5.2 miles today!  I [...]
