Can Couch Potatoes Change?… or Don’t We All Start as Spuds?
It’s official. I registered (and paid) for the triathlon scheduled for July 16. Pretty good for someone who—until very recently—thought triathlon was spelled Tri-ath-A-lon! If you’ve read any of my last three posts or A Running Journal diary, you’ll know I rather dubiously started running via the … Continue reading

What? You’ve Never Heard of Brick Training? Join the Club.
Yes, it all began with that one step. Now I’m wondering what I’ve gotten myself into. I showed my husband the Sprint Triathlon website, which by the way includes a NON-traditional biking distance of 24 miles, a Sprinternational special condition, … Continue reading

Stand Back (Get Out of My Way) or…Who Says There’s Limits?
When I started running a few weeks ago (see Sit.Desk.Write… and Run.), I never aspired to anything more than… running to lose a few pounds. My athletic husband, who’s mouth is still hanging open because I’m actually moving, tentatively suggested … Continue reading

Sit. Desk. Write… and Run.
A week and two days ago, I started running. It wasn’t a planned event, but here I am. As I began to chronicle my daily data; weight, distance, and my level of motivation, I realized it was turning into a … Continue reading

Remind Me Not To Eat 5 Brownies… Again.
It’s almost noon and I’ve already walked 7.9 miles, moved fifty-one bricks to different locations, and done three loads of laundry which entails traversing many, many stairs. So why am I not losing weight? It might be all the food … Continue reading

We’re back (to reality)… or How walking 10 miles a day on a beach is different than walking 10 miles a day at home…
Whenever I return from a vacation break, lots of feelings and thoughts flood my mind. One, I’m re-invigorated to jump back into my life and wipe the slate clean. I mean really clean. After spending two weeks in an easy breezy condo … Continue reading
Ringing My Bell On Valentine’s Day: The Morning After
For moi? Valentine’s Day has always been my favorite holiday. Some years it’s been high and some years it’s been low. I still remember the shoeboxes I decorated with paper doilies and red construction paper in grade school … Continue reading
The Best Thing I Liked About Zumba Was My Instructor’s Outfit.
Seriously, her clothes were really cool. My instructor could have been this example! If only I could swivel my body and look anything like her… wow. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I sailed into a trial Zumba class … Continue reading

Pardon Me If I Scream Out Loud.
You might have noticed (or not) there weren’t any new posts from me during the month of December 2010. In the same sentence I can honestly say I love technology and I hate technology. Do you remember what it … Continue reading
Why I Don’t Play Farmville…
There’s a reason why I don’t play Farmville… or participate in diversions like The Truth Game, Bejeweled, City of Wonder, Simply Hospital, Word Challenge, or Solitaire. Especially Solitaire. The alluring path of electronic games can be dangerously seductive. Explaining their impact is best illustrated through a story … Continue reading
