We had a great day at the children’s museum today, despite having all the children of the city there to join us. It rained all day and apparently we weren’t the only ones who had the brilliant idea to find something fun to do indoors today. I’ll spare you the 100 photographs I took and [...]

Today is a rest day, as promised to myself yesterday. And what perfect timing, the old man was totally snoring when I woke up at 5:15. (i.e., it was pouring rain, did you catch that?) Please note that I do usually NOT wake up this early in the winter. Or even spring or fall for [...]

Meal prep was pretty low on the totem poll today. It’s been a random, lazy day. Dinner was no exception. The highlights of our pot luck dinner. Bean burritos. American Flag grilled cheese sandwiches. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with locally grown snap peas. And of course, the Grand Finale. Chocolate Banana Whip. This morning I [...]

This morning’s run was 4.76 miles in 39:09. That makes my pace 8:13/mi which is a lot slower than a normal morning run. That tells me I need to dial it back and tomorrow should probably be a rest day after a 10 mile run on Saturday and 15 mile ride yesterday. I felt fine [...]

Oh yes, this post has definitely changed my life. I saw this post yesterday from Gena at Choosing Raw and immediately went down and cut up two of my last three bananas and put them in the freezer. Tonight after dinner, it was time to take them for a spin. Holy banana whip. Seriously. This [...]

As usual, I was up before the rest of my crew this morning. I jumped on my bike and enjoyed this beautiful morning on a 70 minute, 15.3 mile ride. I am so grateful the warm air is here again. Back home to find the house was still quiet. Ahhh. I enjoyed my breakfast cookie [...]

I’m happy to report that my questionable run this morning was fabulous! 10.8 miles in 1:37:54, a 9:00/mi pace. We did a 6.5 mile loop and stopped back at the running store for water, and then went for another 4.3 mile loop. Between loops, my friend Shawn and I snacked on a couple of these [...]

I’m going to this group run but have no idea how far I’m going to today. Well, maybe “No Idea” isn’t completely accurate, it’s probably somewhere between 8 and 11 miles. I guess they have groups and have a variety of distances to choose from. I’m wondering what this is going to be like. Should [...]

This one’s for you MJ. You don’t know the lengths I had to go to for this pic. First, I had to dig out the white glove from the bin of winter stuff. Then I had to set the timer on my camera. THEN I had to hold the camera between my chin and my [...]
