My Training Log; Week in Review

Posted in My "Neurotic About Fitness" Persona, tagged , , on September 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

It has been a good week for training as far as commitment and consistency.  I have logged 14.3 miles this week.  However, I had hoped to be farther along the path toward my 13.1 (half marathon) goal.  It seems as if my aging body is not able to back up my lofty goals.  With the SunTrust [...]

The Biggest Loser

I have no idea why, but this show really appeals to me.  I got hooked last season and I couldn’t wait until it started this season.  Tonight was episode 2 and I think I have already picked the team that I want to see win; Tom and Tom. Something about this father and son team [...]

What a Week!

Posted in My "Neurotic About Fitness" Persona, tagged on September 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Dogs waking at 2:00 AM for bathroom breaks, step-sons with 4:00 AM tummy aches, football practice, tennis practice, soccer practice, back to school night, after work meetings….Yikes!  This week was a tough one for fitting in time to run.  Holding true to the “early bird gets the worm” philosophy, I was able to run two [...]

Whining About Wine

Posted in My "Neurotic About Fitness" Persona, tagged , , on September 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »

During my ascent into pre-middle age (like that, do you?)  I have developed a taste for the grape, I will freely admit it.  As a friend of mine says in a recent post “wine is a food group!” and I agree.  Whether it is sipping a glass of merlot while making dinner or having a [...]

“Eating” Your Sunscreen Can Help Cancer Prone Skin

Posted in Uncategorized on September 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I know this sounds strange and you are wondering what in the world I am talking about.  Believe it or not, I have not lost my mind.  In a recent edition of Women’s Health Magazine they feature a section on “Fighting Disease” in your 40’s and beyond.  Of course the subtitle immediately caught my eye-Cancer [...]

Worms Anyone?

If the early bird truly gets the worm, then I have more than my share this week.  I have had my alarm set everyday for 5:00 AM but have been awake before it went off each day.  Go me!  I grab my things and off I go to the gym.  Monday was weight training (no [...]

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Today is my running coach partner husband’s birthday and I couldn’t wait until it was time to give him his present-a Forerunner 405. 

Just saying it sounds cool, doesn’t it?   For those of you who may not have heard of this high tech toy, let me educate you.  It is a GPS system, but not for your [...]

Back in the (side) Saddle Again!

Posted in My "Neurotic About Fitness" Persona, tagged , , , on September 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »

As Aerosmith says, I am “Back in the Saddle Again!”  Sort of.  If you have been following my posts (I like to believe someone is-it helps me sleep at night) you know that I started a marathon training program but, after a mere three weeks in,  was sidelined due to a medical issue.  The doctor [...]

     You are in kindergarten and you have just colored the most spectacular picture of your short artistic career.  You can barely contain your pride as you gather up your courage to show your teacher.  You know she is going to love it and you can already taste the special treat she will bestow upon [...]
