Every winter I think: this is the time I will finally lose those last 5 pounds, tone up, and really get in shape for running half marathons later in the year. But . . . it's winter. Winter makes me want to curl up in a ball and hibernate until May. Those bears are onto something! … Continue reading Turning into a winter slug: 1/11-17 Weekly Wrap

And then there were 2: 1/4-1/10 Weekly Wrap
We've spent half our marriage with more than 2 animals: first there were 2 cats (aka the girls), and when one of the girls had to be put to sleep, we adopted 2 kittens (aka the boys). 10 years ago we adopted Chester, after the last girl had to be put to sleep; keeping us … Continue reading And then there were 2: 1/4-1/10 Weekly Wrap

Running Christmas Lights in a Sparkleskirt: 12/21-12/27 Weekly Wrap
A little more strength training, a little less yoga, but still on my #yogastreak.

Random Christmas Acts of Kindness: 12/7-13 Weekly Wrap
Running was good this week and that was about all that was good this week. No, that's not really true, as I wrote Wednesday, there are always things to celebrate, but as the week went on, things went south.

Let there be light (or not): 11/30-12/6 Weekly Wrap
The weather really sucked this week for the most part. They kept promising us sun and it poked its head out briefly here and there, but there was a lot of grayness, cloudiness, and rain. It drove me to the treadmill one day. Then another day I ended up running into the night, as I … Continue reading Let there be light (or not): 11/30-12/6 Weekly Wrap

I am trudging along with my workouts and battling the short days, lack of sunlight, carb & sugar cravings.
