Numbers

I probably wouldn’t be obsessing over numbers like I am if I hadn’t read all about August being Justine’s birthday month over Here Where I Have Landed.  Then, it dawned on me that my birthday month is next month. I have always been a numbers person.  Math is one of my things.  In high school… Continue reading Numbers

A Summer Evening Walk

Mondays are generally the day of my training schedule for cross training.  Last week was week one of marathon training for me but in reality, it was week six.  Yes, I started at week six.  So last week, I did a DVD that included some cardio and some weight training.  It was a good 30… Continue reading A Summer Evening Walk

Supplements

Supplements.  As I get more and more into the fitness world and that of endurance running, I find more and more information about supplements is available.  But do I want to take these items?

Rec Park Music Fest

Sunday, I spent a good portion of the day at Rec Park in Binghamton.  There was a live music fest that ran from 1 pm to almost 9 pm.  Eight bands played a 40 minute set.  The music ran the gamut from jazz to Dixieland to Zydeco to rock.  It was a wonderful day and… Continue reading Rec Park Music Fest

The Long Solo Run

After my day at church on Sunday, I went with my fifth child to a live music festival.  We both love live music and have somewhat similar tastes or can at least tolerate each other’s varied tastes in music.  There will be more about the music in the near future. I saw a friend there… Continue reading The Long Solo Run

Giving and Receiving

I was sitting in church yesterday, listening to Deacon George’s homily.  Okay, I admit I don’t know if people other than priests give homilies but Deacon George was talking about the readings of the day and really hitting home with me.  And while I couldn’t tell you exactly what the verses were I will explain… Continue reading Giving and Receiving

Coconut Water – Product Review

Okay, so not just any coconut water.  I want to tell you a bit about Vita Coco Coconut Water.  You are probably thinking I have lost my marbles.  I have to tell you when I first read about coconut water on Runner Dude’s blog, I hesitated.  I don’t like coconut.  I don’t like it shredded… Continue reading Coconut Water – Product Review

Sports Fanatic

I admit it.  I am a sports fanatic.  The unfortunate truth is I do not necessarily like the average sports that most Americans spend hours watching.  I do like college football and admit to watching a pro game here and there but I could really care less. On the other hand, I will plan my… Continue reading Sports Fanatic
