This past weekend was a football lover’s dream. All the football I could have wanted to watch had me thinking back to tailgates in college and even more recent ones as a parent of a high school football player. Granted both of these were very different but still tailgate parties. Friday night my local high… Continue reading What a Weekend for Football!
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
Where, oh where, did I go? Absolutely nowhere. When I started this post, it was all about photographing the inaugural Hambletonian Marathon and Good Time Trotters Relay. Then, I found out I could share via Flickr and moved that post to this other method. So now, where did I go? I went grocery shopping. The… Continue reading Where Did I Go?

Two weeks ago I decided I would try to MyFitnessPal to track my food intake… Continue reading A Little Secret
I can remember saying, more than once, how green everything was when I was down in Roanoke for the Blue Ridge Mountain. Good reason! They are a bit further south than I am sitting up here in Upstate NY. I have always loved when the earth greens up. We’ve had quite a bit of rain… Continue reading Green, Green and More Green

I feel like I have been floundering by not planning out weekly meals. I have not ever planned all the meals of the day but I do plan out dinner for the week. Today, inspired by Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean, I set about to get back to meal planning – and as is… Continue reading Meal Planning
Do you love comfort food? I know I do but I also know what it does to my waist line. Like most runners, I have a love affair with pasta. Like a good majority of women, I have a hate of pasta – or maybe it is just carbs in general. I was really happy… Continue reading Skinny Mac and Cheese
