Remains of the snow.

It’s Friday!  This was a tough week, I have to say.  Work seemed especially tough (although I am so thankful to have this job!!!).  My legs were tired this morning, so I decided not to lift and to take a walk later in the day.  For all the snow that fell yesterday, not much accumulation. [...]

September Goals

Welcome to September!  I love September.  John and I just said this morning how this time of year is “our time.”  We love the cooler weather, the fall leaves, the warm food, football, the approaching holidays.  It’s just a great time of year!

I was up and out for day 2 of week 5 for [...]

Take the last train to Georgetown

Having a wonderful time here with the family!  My camera battery is flashing red, so I skipped most food pics and got the important ones instead.

John’s sister has a Wii, so we had a fun time trying out Guitar Hero!  Here is John rocking out with his niece.

Here is a quartet – [...]

Bagel day and more biking.

Lovely sunny morning to bike to bagels.  Too bad we didn’t quite make it!  We took a chance at not having a tire changing kit and wouldn’t you know it, John got a nail stuck in his tire and it went flat.  He hasn’t even had his bike for 24 hours!  This was about 3.5 [...]

Duty calls and a case of the frees

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 [...]

Flashback Friday: The Pixie edition.

Happy Friday!   Had another nice workout today.  I went to the gym and the owner was there, so I showed him the Shape article.  He was pleased to see a member in there!  He took the article and set it out in the waiting area so other members can see it.  A little embarrassed there [...]

Goblin Gallop!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Race day!  The Goblin Gallop 5K.  250 runners, which was probably 100 more than last year.  It was fairly warm in the mid 50s at least.  I had trouble sleeping, so I was up way early.  Had a nummy cream of wheat with banana, vanilla protein powder, nut butter and a [...]

Y workout and dining out

Today was one of those wacky food days, you know?  I didn’t sleep really well last night, which was actually okay because I had to get up early and meet my sister at her Y.

It’s pretty fancy – and the memberships are not part of mine, so I have to use a guest pass [...]
