First, how many times lately do you hear me say this? Yeah pretty much never: I had a solid workout week! All of my runs felt strong. I made it to yoga, didn’t tear or rupture anything and split shorts guy was a no-show. I went to cycle class and was called a ‘new face.’ Oops. [Read More]
Whose Got Style?
Today’s Health Activists Writer’s Month Challenge is to talk about your writing style. Mine can best be summed up as seat of the pants. Words just pretty much flow and if they don’t, I don’t blog. After college, I started my career as an advertising copywriter and moved on to technical writing then editing, before [Read More]
3 Things: Boston Edition

Running a Fine Line
It occurred to me the other day that I’ve spent the last half decade of my life in various stages of training for one race or another.

2 Broken Things Thursday
…and time stood still. My Garmin finally bit the dust. There were signs of impending demise months ago but I managed to resuscitate it. No such luck this time. Maybe it’s revenge for not taking it along on vacation. Maybe it’s just old age. But it’s the end of an era for sure. I got [Read More]
WIAW: Post Vacation Edition
It’s time once again for What I Ate Wednesday, compliments of Peas and Crayons. It’s also time for me to face the dragon and get my post-cruise carcass back on the scale. Let’s just say I more than made up for any carb depletion I was experiencing before I left. Here’s how yesterday’s, back-to-the grind [Read More]
Spring Break by Number and Winner
We’re back from our cruise! Some highlights: Days spent plying warm Caribbean waters in this glorious vessel: 6 On a scale of 10, degree of wigged out I was as I jumped off a boat onto a sand bar, among hundreds of stingrays, 30 minutes off the coast of Grand Cayman: 8/10. Time it took [Read More]
