Finding Radiance

Off to the gym this morning. There was frost on the car! I was at the gym a little later than normal by 7:30.  There were only a hand full of people there.  I am liking that a lot.  And nobody really annoying either – bonus! Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Chest Press 3 sets [...]

It’s Spring Break around here this week.  Minus the spring, I guess.  Temps of mid to upper 40s and really windy.  At least no rain, though.  I decided to do a walk/run today for the first time in about 6 weeks.  Had breakfast and worked first, though.  I did the 1-minute muffin as a waffle [...]

Well, I nixed the gym in the morning.  The amount of snow was not so much the problem, it was the blowing wind. I knew we had to shovel anyway, so it’s not like there wouldn’t be exercise in there… I settled in to make a warm breakfast.  Banana custard cream of wheat topped with [...]

Okay, first – where the h-e-double hockey sticks did September go?  We are getting that tropical rain from Nicole today. That nixed my outdoor brick, so I drove to the gym after eating a Zone bar for fuel. I did 2 miles on the treadmill, then 10 miles on the stationary bike, then 2 more [...]

Rest day on tap for me.  That meant sleeping in as much as I could, which really is only about an additional 30 minutes if I am lucky.  I have an internal clock that always pretty much goes off at the same time. I filtered the cold brew coffee and got out the bread dough [...]

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.  [...]

Thanks for the comments on my 2009 wrap up post!  Funny how the year looked better on paper than it felt sometimes, know what I mean? Lots of new goodies to blog about today, but first I must write about my workout!  The gym was pretty crowded this morning (for my gym, anyway).  I think [...]

Woke up this morning and it was again 32 degrees!  I was going to run outside as I don’t like to drive to the gym just to run unless it is precipitating horribly outside.  So, I made some fantabulous oats for breakfast and got right to work: 40 grams of oats, 1 medium banana (part [...]

It was pretty hot and humid this morning, so I decided just to do 4 miles instead of 8 (later this week).  Fueled up with that yummy toast and jam like yesterday.  I could eat 6 pieces of this!  Last of the hazelnut butter. I was going to shoot for 10:30 miles and I did [...]

Got my blood donation done today. The tech was awesome, I barely felt the needle! She was great!Wonder which lucky person gets a little bit of radiance?? And – they had my favorite post-donation snack: Lorna Doones! Yum! It was a good day. Got a Netflix DVD today called Kickboxing for Dummies. It sounded like [...]
