Yesterday I left work early to go to see my surgeon and discuss my health issues. My GP thought they were directly related to my surgery, so when the problems got worse, I decided it was time to pay the doctor that saved my life a visit. I waited a long time. And then was…… Continue reading A Change in Plan
Yesterday AFM and I went around the area to assess the damage from Irene. I cannot believe how devastated some of the areas of upstate New York are… we are lucky that we opted to stay in New York – originally we had planned to go to Vermont, and the damage there is much worse.…… Continue reading The Vacation Continues…
Hey everyone. Happy Hump Day. Is your week going by quickly? The jury is still out for me. I’m not sure how I feel about this week, but I am definitely being productive.

The menu at home has also swung into total summer gear which is pretty great. On the menu this weekend:…… Continue reading Summer is here…
Sunday’s recap: Since yesterday’s run was so horrible, I made an effort to get my butt in gear a little earlier this morning. I set my alarm for 7:55 and eventually got out of bed by 8:20. I ate half a banana, had a small cup of coffee and was out on the trail by…… Continue reading Run and a Reward
