Finding Radiance

I decided to take today off from exercise, since it is the start of my weekend and I ran 6+ miles yesterday.  I am rethinking how much I run a little bit.  So, it was a lazy morning at home, and I used the rest of the sweet potato I cooked yesterday to make some [...]

Thank you for all the nice comments on the Locks of Love post!
Sunday is the start of my work week – and the official countdown to vacation can begin!  WooHoo!!  (Can you tell I am excited??)  I realized that since we stopped biking on Sundays with the cold weather that I have a very relaxing [...]

Yippee!  Done with work today and my weekend begins!  Any of you who missed it earlier, John hit his goal weight today!  That makes it a good day all around for both of us.  I’ll just keep plugging along LOL!  His reward is new clothes this weekend!
Tomorrow is my last NROLW workout, so I eased [...]

I took a Tylenol PM last night both for the back and the pain at the Broncos loss last night.    I slept really well for almost 8 hours (go me!!).  Opened my eyes and took inventory:
Sore legs? check
Sore butt?  check
Sore arms, sides and chest?  Check, check, and check.
My back injury actually felt [...]

Went to bed a little later last night after watching the Broncos top the Chargers – WooHoo!!  6-0 baby!  I actually fell asleep during part of the game because I was so tired.  What a fan LOL!  I woke up this morning and nixed the gym because my thighs were still feeling sore.  One more [...]

Rest day today!  My legs really need it.  I was feeling a little bummed looking at last year’s stats for the duathlon.  It looks like I will likely come in last or close to it compared to last year’s times.  Of course, the reality is that I am not competing against anyone.  I keep telling [...]

Had a great night last night with some nice street music.  I was pretty beat by the time we got home.
Met my parents at Panera Bread for breakfast and I forgot to take a picture of my blueberry bagel, but know that it was tasty!  Then did some grocery shopping.  We saved $11 in coupons [...]

Did an active recovery day today.  It’s really hard for me to rest.  I somehow feel like I am going to gain 100 pounds back over night if I don’t go/go/go.  Know what I mean?
So, I did 500 yards of an easy swim, then sat in the therapy pool for 15 minutes.  That was a [...]

I am icky sick now. It hit me hard last night, and today I felt so bad that I didn’t even want to go out for our normal Sunday morning bagel. You know it’s bad, then. It hurts too much to swallow, so I just had some soothing pumpkin oatmeal.Been pounding the [...]

Today was a fabulous fall day. Why the weather couldn’t have been like this for my run yesterday……
Went to a fall Halloween festival today and spent time with the nieces and my folks. Lots of cute chitlins in costumes today. I also managed to *not* have the wonderful cupcakes I love when [...]
