First, I want to thank Maria at BOREDMommy for leading this group of women reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. I had read the book previously but jumped on the band wagon – although I fell off along the ride – to re-read the book before I head to the theatre to see the movie. [...]

Eat, Pray, Love – India

Yes, yes. I am behind. While BlogHER caused the first delay (no, I didn’t attend but Maria did), my mother being in town for a two week vacation caused my personal delay in my sticking with the Eat, Pray, Love postings. Here’s the background. Maria of BOREDMommy fame is reading and writing about Elizabeth Gilbert’s [...]
Family

One of the reasons my blog has seen less activity in August than is normal was a family reunion. My mother generally flies east for a high school graduation. Since the May that she came and had to wear someone’s winter jacket to a Little League game, she never comes before the end of June [...]
Life Lessons from the Long Run
Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged Fitness, flexibility, planning, long run, life lessons on 28 August 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was my longest run to date, 20 miles. There are many reasons this is important but the biggest thing is I learned some lessons I can apply to life in general. Plan your work and work your plan. I have been following a plan for marathon training. There are a few “ifs” or “buts” [...]
Board of Education

My run for school board this past May was not my first foray into local politics. I had run in 2003 also and the woman who beat me is still on the Board. I had also, several years ago, applied for an open position that was available but withdrew my name after the interview when [...]
Race Recap – Catharine Valley Half Marathon
Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged running, Fitness, race, catharine valley half marathon, race recap on 25 August 2010 | 10 Comments »
This particular race was a challenge, not in the course but in the weather. If you look at the pavement we are on, it is very wet. We may have been in a slight sprinkling period as it was taken but there were torrential downpours throughout the race. I was thinking we would be on [...]
Thank You

I have been on an extended break. I didn’t think it would happen but family came to visit and I didn’t get to my blog much. You see, my mother lives in the desert southwest. I generally see her once a year. It is usually when she escapes the summer heat in the greater Palm [...]
Operation Beautiful – Book Review
Posted in Book Reviews, Just my Thoughts, tagged aging, body image, book review, operation beautiful on 16 August 2010 | 15 Comments »
Lately, I have been obsessing on numbers – my times on the my runs, pace on my run, the length of my runs, and, unfortunately and very new for me, my age. I have not put it straight in my mind why this sudden obsession with age. I really do not recall having these issues [...]

This coming Thursday the Environmental Protection Agency was scheduled to hold a public hearing on hydraulic fracturing as a method for removing natural gas from shale deposits. The hearing, the fourth and last in a series of hearings being held across the country, was originally scheduled for the Binghamton, New York area. Binghamton is an [...]
Post Run Recovery Smoothie
Posted in Fitness, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged smoothie, Oikos Greek Yogurt, recovery drink on 9 August 2010 | 18 Comments »
I have never been a smoothie fan until I started training for a half marathon. Now I am training for a full marathon and I am drinking, eating smoothies all the time. Sometimes, I have them pre-run but usually post run. So here is the one that freaks out all my friends. Undoubtedly, I get [...]
