1. I effed up. You know I like to stalk the “We made too much” section of the Lululemon site in hopes of paying too much for workout wear instead of obscenely way too much. Imagine my delight when I scored this sweet tank. I got it, wore it (once) loved it, then ever so [Read More]
Excuses
Forgive me body for I have sinned. It has been 3 days since my last run. Gasp! I may not be the best eater, I may be far from the fastest runner, but one thing is for sure. I will get out and run 3x/week….even if it’s a leaden, snail-paced one laced with profanity. At [Read More]
Finally, Heart Results
Has this been the longest week ever? It sure seems like it to me after waiting, pacing, calling and waiting some more for the results from my nuclear stress test as well as the labs I did last week. Why, why, why aren’t doctor’s offices more sensitive to the stress one goes through when waiting [Read More]
Currently
Current Book: No books. I’m barely treading water keeping up on all my mags. Running Path: Cannot get enough of this one lately, as long as I don’t trip on a root. Non-Running Workout: I’m all about plyometric intervals. Drink: My true love: Kombucha. Any flavor will do. Excitement: Well my nuclear stress test was [Read More]
Yikes, September Already?
I am back (alive!) from our weekend with the in-laws. But how can it be September already? Maybe because August was filled with our Alaska trip and all kinds of back to school scrambling? And let’s not forget my laundry list of health issues, cough rotator cuff cough heart cough, thyroid, cough cough, adrenal fatigue, [Read More]
August Loving, Not Loving
Yikes August is slipping away and I haven’t done this month’s installment of loving/not loving. Loving: I finally got my holter monitor experience over with. It was a PIA walking around (and running) with all those wires sticking to me but it’s over. Not loving: I won’t get any results for an entire week. Geez. [Read More]
Week in Review
Kids went back to school! It seems early, cuz it IS early, and of course now we have our summer’s hottest weather. Trust me it’s better for everybody this way. Mama can hang at the pool by herself. No news, is well, no news: Still no answers on the heart issue. The referral for my [Read More]
A Techy Day in the Life
I’ll be the first to admit I am no tech whiz. You probably knew that already. My first ‘exposure’ to technology (aka cell phones, email, etc.) was when we lived overseas. Cell phones were way more prevalent in Europe in the late 1990’s than they were in the US at that time. It was then [Read More]
My Big, Fat Alaskan Adventure
Our voyage to Alaska was an exercise in overload: On stunning scenery, exhilarating activities and of course food. But that’s another post. Mt. Rainier was ‘out’ on our approach into Sea-Tac airport. A good omen. We feasted our eyes on spectacular sunrises… …and sunsets… …with plenty of glaciers in between. Mom Nature (bless her heart) [Read More]
Travel Snacks: Food For Thought
With our Alaskan adventure looming, and me trying in vain to get as much done as possible so I am not scrambling last minute (yeah right), my attention turns to travel snacks. A 4-hr plane ride to Seattle + 2 kids = copious snackage, right? I started throwing together a feedbag. And then I stopped. [Read More]
