An Inspired Dinner…

I find it ironic that I was telling someone earlier today that normally I am creative in the kitchen and that I love to cook, but lately I’ve been in a culinary rut. I really do not like this rut. I am trying to get out of it. But I know why I am in…… Continue reading An Inspired Dinner…

To be or not to be, that is the question…

For the last couple of days I have been hemming and hawing about one thing and I just don’t know what to do. I keep going back in forth in my mind, and I just need to come up with an answer. The question I keep mulling over in my head is should I register…… Continue reading To be or not to be, that is the question…

Hyannis Half Marathon 2012

Hi there blog readers: I have so much to tell you, that I almost do not know where to start.

Wrapping up the work week…

The week leading up to a big race is always so weird for me. I guess tapering is not my normal routine, and it throws me off a little bit. When I’m not running as much, I’m not as hungry. So I eat less and by the end of the week I’m exhausted. I also…… Continue reading Wrapping up the work week…

The worst timing…

Sometimes I feel like my body has the worst timing!!! I woke up feeling like I was coming down with a cold. Two of my friends are sick, one of my colleagues is sick and another co-worker’s husband is sick. WHY this week!? Ugh. Last night I did not sleep at all. I tossed and…… Continue reading The worst timing…

Day 1 of 4

Am I the only one who sometimes feels more tired after a three day weekend!? What the heck? I just don’t get it. But today was a weird day at work, and I felt kind of beat. I definitely stayed up a bit later than normal watching PBS’s American Experience because they had a two…… Continue reading Day 1 of 4

Time To Taper

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope that a lot of you had the day off. I sort of live for three day weekends. They are like mini-vacations 🙂 I just looked up Hal Higdon’s half marathon training guide to see what I should do the week of a half marathon. Wow – I love taper weeks!…… Continue reading Time To Taper

I love Long Weekends

Ok. I’m just saying, long weekends are the best thing ever. Three days off just makes all the difference to me. I’m lucky that I have a couple of long weekends in a row coming up. So far my weekend is going pretty well. I’ve got to do some housework today. But yesterday I had…… Continue reading I love Long Weekends

The day after…

Wow. Valentine’s Day was a baked goods fest at the office! I had my special muffin for breakfast yesterday, I brought in ginger biscuits for my co-workers and friends, there was birthday cake, there were beautiful Valentine’s day cookies and so on. Today was a much better eating day! But I will admit, I started…… Continue reading The day after…

2012 – Day 45

Hi there – How was your day today? I had a pretty good day – and I’m not going to lie, I had a few treats 🙂 It started with breakfast. I had an amazing cranberry orange muffin from Seven Stars that I picked up for myself yesterday afternoon. (I am always thinking ahead when…… Continue reading 2012 – Day 45
