Finding Radiance

Hooray for Friday! Had a lot to do today, that is for sure. I started with my workout this morning. The furnace was out at the gym and it was very cold in there! It was probably 55 degrees. I don’t mind it being a little cooler because I get sweaty, but my nose was [...]

We enjoyed the concerts last night.  Here is a pic of the drums they played: Last lifting day of the week. Wahhh…. Maybe I will think about doing a split body routine next year for some variety. I had half a S’mores Balance bar before heading out.   I started with a 1/2 mile jog on [...]

Half work day today, so I could doodle around a little more at the gym this morning. Next week it will be light in the morning again and maybe I can sneak in some more biking there before bringing the bike inside. Warmed up on the stationary and then lifted. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Full [...]

Okay, I guess I am a complete dork with the sandals and socks    (along with Jan LOL). It’s Friday!  That means only half a day of work for me, yippee!  I also did not go to the gym this morning as I am running a race tomorrow, which means no lifting the day before.  [...]

Check out my little profile on Attune Foods blog! Well – we have the Nor’easter coming through.  Not as bad as those further east, but windy, cold and rainy today.  That meant doing a run at the gym.  Nothing like a quick workout!  I had 2 miles scheduled and banged out 2.2.  I looked longingly [...]

Wow – lots of great thoughts from yesterday’s post!  Don’t worry, I hope I did not give the impression I was giving up blogging.  I will be jabbering on for a while It was a beautiful morning, albeit a bit chilly (39 degrees).  I biked to the gym and did a lighter workout (weight wise). [...]

I’m glad you liked the squat post from yesterday.  That seems to be an exercise that a lot of people have a strong opinion on.  Not quite sure why exactly, but nothing heats up a weight room like talking about squats. Normally we bike to bagels on Thursday now.  I was up a little early [...]

Happy Winter solstice everyone!  Today is the first official day of winter and the shortest day of the year.  From now on, days get longer, although colder (well, it already has been pretty cold).    The busy week wraps up with Christmas on Friday and then I will take some time for reflection on how I [...]

Quickie update: Hot 100 update: 1. Duathlon.  DONE!!! 2. Limit the number of eggnog lattes this year to 2 or 3.   I have had 1 so far.  Doing good. 3. Keep a redline of weight in mind to not go over during the holidays.  I am 1 pound above redline, likely due to Chinese food, [...]

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!  [...]
