I was agonizing over what to write about when lo and behold I was tagged by Misty.  I am supposed to list 5 things I’m addicted to. Addiction is too strong a word (for a recovered co-dependent person like me) but using the word lightly we have:
1)  FaceCrack aka FaceBook – I feel quite compelled [...]

  I’m doing something ‘for cause’.  The cause is fighting ALS.  ALS is a very nasty disease that takes its victims lives slowly – one digit, one limb, one body part at a time.   Life goes on for months and months but gets harder and harder as the afflicted marches inexorably to his or her [...]

It’s a miracle!  I’m actually getting this written on the correct day.  Must be that spirit of renewal we are all feeling.  We are all feeling it right?  I am!  So without further ado ….

I’ve been thinking about food a lot lately.  First I was thinking about how to get rid of the Christmas weight (which was only about 2.5 pounds – yay!) and then I was thinking about how food will soon become the thing I can’t get enough of as my training ramps up. And I was [...]

Happy New Year!  I’m still here and you’re still there and life goes on, changed very little by the actual date and yet – we all wake up January 1 filled to the brim with determination to make THIS year the BEST year ever.  And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.  I’m a little late [...]
