This past weekend we experienced, here in my small part of upstate NY, a summer weekend. Highs were in the mid 70s which is not normal for this fourth month of the year. That along with a need to get items to certain people prior to my move led me to a lot of bike miles over a five day… Continue reading Summer for a Day
This coming weekend is my church bazaar. I could say that means it will be odd but this year I will not be there. Normally, I try to get to the bazaar at least once. It runs for two days from 4-11 and then a chicken BBQ on Sunday after church. My big problem is… Continue reading Summer Time
One of the things I love about the #sweatpink sisterhood is some of the challenges involve mad libs. Trust me when I say these are huge hits around my family table at holidays, non-#sweatpink style. To start the 1 Million Minutes challenge that runs from June 21 to August 21, here’s the latest mad lib.… Continue reading Mad Libs, #SweatPink style

What a weekend! I truly believe my sister is trying to keep me busy, afraid I am going to be all weepy and depressed with my youngest having flown the coop last Monday. The truth is far from that as I am happy he is settling into college life – at least I think he… Continue reading Weekend Recap
As I trained for Sunday’s second marathon in a month, I started thinking to the training plan I had developed that would allow me to run fewer days of the week. Since that time, I have found out that my son moves into college on July 30th. I will have more of my summer to… Continue reading Summer Training and #RWRunStreak
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
