As I alluded to yesterday, a post was coming about February and any and all progress I made towards my 2016 goals. While the bullseye has not yet been hit, I am making steady progress in most areas. Fitness I have managed to continue on my 12 month journey to not run any full marathons.… Continue reading February, A Look In The Rearview
Sometimes it literally feels like time is flying. The first month of 2016 is gone already. And so I have to look back and see if I am still on track with my annual goals or do I need to reassess. Fitness I am totally good on not having run any marathons in January. I… Continue reading January Gone Already
On Monday, I looked back over my 2015 goals for fitness and for food. They sort of go together, right? Both were giant fails but we need to fail to set more reachable goals. We can all learn from failure and move closer to success in the process. Today, I will go over my goals… Continue reading Looking Back – Part 2
Today would have been my mother’s 74th birthday. When she turned 70, we had a huge birthday party for her in the desert. My stepdad took 9 women to dinner with him and the waiter – always looking for a good tip – wanted to know just how he managed to get such a harem… Continue reading Fall Gone
While temperatures are saying it is definitely still summer, autumn is on its way. I know because I have been dodging falling leaves and already fallen acorns on runs.

Things are not looking good but I can turn this year around if I concentrate and am consistent. Fitness I’m sticking with my not running a full marathon this… Continue reading Goal Revisit
It’s a new year. For some reason, we seem programmed to evaluate and start reshaping our lives at the start of new years. Why we don’t pick March 15 or April 15 is beyond me. I do not really call these resolutions. These are goals. Hopefully, with an injury free year, I’ll meet all my… Continue reading Goals, Aspirations, Resolutions
I just read Danielle LaPorte’s latest piece entitled “Break the law, bag the contract, ignore your lawyer, be yourself.” I came away thinking I had definitely done something right over the past almost year. Almost a year ago, I got an email from my soon-to-be ex. You’ll notice that there is a new phrase out… Continue reading What’s Up and How I Reacted?
No, silly, not me! My father would have been 75 today if he was still alive. He died just two days after his 71st birthday. Lately, I have been thinking about him a lot but for very odd reasons. WEBO Radio had an open house in the fall. I was going to try… Continue reading 75 Today
Okay, my summer did not involve any vacation unless you call trips to take kids to college and a trip for a wedding vacations. They are all just part of parenting. I did, though, think a great way to show you what my summer was like would be to post a slide show. Stay tuned,… Continue reading Summer Vacation
