I was a little worried about the weather for our 16 miler planned for this morning, but it really didn’t end up being that bad.  I think the windchill was only at 17 degrees.  Hey, it could have been way worse!  I didn’t get much sleep last night because I was so nervous for this [...]

It’s Foodie Friday!  If you are new, on Fridays I try to have some foodie pics on the blog with maybe a recipe or two.  Tonight, I stuffed my face, and it was oh so good. Sigh…just thinking about it.  I got together with my little running group tonight, and we all cooked dinner together.  [...]

After having to teach 2 spin classes yesterday (one came out of nowhere, and I’m way too nice), and dealing with my truck registration problems for 4 hours (you don’t want to know, but just know that they are much more intense in Europe!), I was mentally exhausted and decided to move my workout schedule [...]

Well, thank you again for letting me vent and for all of your nice comments yesterday.  I usually don’t freak out like that on a regular basis, but it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.  Seriously!  Anyway, I’m over it now.  All is good. I tried out my 3 miles yesterday before my [...]

I am NOT an Airhead!

January 21, 2010

Right now, I’m working on some breathing techniques to calm me down over a short conversation from earlier.  Beware, a rant is directly ahead… I was asked to go talk about my experiences from last year at the Bazaar at a meeting today even though I am no longer part of the group that runs [...]
