Tulips and Dragon training

*blink*blink*

Was there a weekend that just went by? I need another one.  I am beat today! Rest day on tap with only walking. We actually had to turn our furnace on. The house got down to 62 degrees, so we caved in and turned it on. With the new windows we got last year, [...]

What’s Ballooning!

Another week has flown by. And the rain is out of here – thank you!  Everything is so waterlogged.  I was glad to get on my bike again this morning.  I haven’t ridden since last Saturday, can you believe it?  I did a quick 8 miles before breakfast and it felt great!

Friday has turned [...]

Grain-free challenge done!

Well, we made it through Irene.  Lots of rain. Lots and lots of rain! Plus wind  There  is flooding in our area and poor Vermont is just heartbreaking.  The water levels will continue to rise for the next day or so.  Cleanup starts today.  Power outages in the area, but luckily our power stayed on.

Thoughts on vegetarian week

So glad you enjoyed the tulip photos!  It would have been ideal if we had actually gone this week after the festival was over and avoided the crowds.

I headed to the gym this morning. I did not go yesterday. I checked my log and I put 114 miles on the bike since last Tuesday [...]

Soaked Oats

Friday is here! Funny how a lot of comments on my injuriversary post from yesterday were about how it couldn’t be a year. Just doesn’t seem like a year because of how much I babbled about the injury over the course of the last year.

Hooray for Friday!

I couldn’t think of a better title than this It was warm enough to bike to the gym this morning, too bad it was too dark. It’s coming, though! The gym was quiet today and had better music. I like Journey (okay, I love Journey). So I rocked on while lifting today!

Snow and surprises and public speaking

Snow today and I woke up wondering if I would be able to hit the gym. It had just barely started when I woke up – score! So I slugged some protein and headed out.

Backing up to yesterday, John and I donated blood in the afternoon, so this affected my workout today, surprisingly. I [...]

Busta move

Tuesday lifting day.  I have had all kinds of schedule changes lately.  I am going to do full body workouts Tuesdays and Fridays, possibly alternating with Mondays and Thursdays.  It had already begun to snow when I got up, so I made haste and got to the gym.   Icky roads.

Cookin’ on the hob.

Sunday was a complete rest day for me and it felt really good. I biked in cold weather to the gym this morning. I think the days of shorts for the gym are over, at least on days I bike.
