May 27th – Cranky Toes and Testing
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the [...]
May 26th – My writing writing writing motivation
But first…. The *plan* today was to lounge as usual during Uppers, then run on the 56 trail avoiding the extreme hills for a change, then shower, then start writing, then eventually head over E & R’s place for afternoon working and dinner. That latter bit didn’t quite happen, but I did have a really [...]
May 22 – Beauty in many forms
SongSparrow0 SongSparrow1 This morning I was greeted on my run with the songs you can hear above. Over and over the Song Sparrows in the neighborhood were singin’ about the day getting started (and, I am sure, yapping about this crazy human huffin’ & puffin’ as she jogged past them!) Here’s what they look like [...]
May 18th – A moment in time
The day started off odd enough. First 15 was up and showering by 6:30 on his own – I can only imagine this was due to him having sort of reset his clock this week in preparation for yesterday’s REALLY early morning for the AP test. So I was in the office by 7:30 and rolling along [...]
May 16th – Beware of the cookies!
Note to self: – no matter HOW tempting it is to get one those big ass cookies from the cafeteria after lunch – DON’T. I’m pretty sure the amount of will power it takes to push past the sugar drop from that thing and remain focused at work is greater then pushing myself to keep [...]
May 12 – And peace was restored
Mother’s Day is tomorrow, but I am declaring that I celebrated mine today. 26 and I had a great day together (along with the aforementioned friend I took in to work yesterday). I lounged in bed. The vet called to say Chip needed another day on the catheter. He was clearly feeling better but there [...]
May 10th – Have you ever tried to give a cat medicine?
The follow up to the end of last week when we had to take in the piddle puddle kitty is that medically – he was fine. All tests were clear and the replacement and re-arrangement of bathroom facilities seemed to stop the out of litter box puddle issues. Of course, the vet also prescribed a [...]
May 6th – running again and math
Last year at this time we had just finished up a wellness campaign at work where we counted our steps on a pedometer. There were conversion rates from other types of exercise into steps. I loved that things like gardening & vacuuming were on there. Because doing an hour of floor cleaning sure as hell [...]
It’s my one year runniversary!
Or, as close as I can estimate anyway. I do know that I signed up for a Runkeeper account in April and started doing a combination of walking & running. In fact, my original profile from then shows me as a walker with my goal of transitioning from walking to running. So, one year (or [...]
Dear blustery day
You just turned what should have been my fastest 5k race yet into the hardest run I’ve ever done and I’m counting the 5-8 mile training runs I’ve completed!! Lord, that was so damn hard. Wind gusts up to 30mph all morning and they ONLY seemed to be coming at our faces or from the [...]
