I don’t think I can make lemonade out of lemons quite they way Runner Susan can. She turned a 3 hour traffic jam, a full bladder and a missed race start into running an ultra marathon and getting a marathon medal but I digress.  My particular brand of lemons come in the form of non-running, [...]

I got these today in email from the very fabulous Rocktape company and I love  them so much I might have to have them made into a big poster to put on my wall.   Thanks Rocktape!
1) Two Minute Rule. Don’t get scared by the seven-syllable word in this tip…but physiologically, several changes take [...]

I’m only calling this Hump Day Miscellany because it’s Wednesday and that’s what Wednesdays are for.  I’m not doing miscellany, though – I’m giving you my 2 fabulous weekends (the last 2) in pictures because pictures are worth 1,000 words at least.  Maybe more.  I might use a few words, too because sometimes you had [...]

I had such a fantastic weekend that I’m not sure I can convey its greatness.  I had the opportunity to do things that made me feel strong and capable and to see things I’d done make others feel strong and capable and it all came back to me in spades and left me waking up [...]

I’m okay with a Monday Tuesday post because this Tuesday is Monday for most of us.  Monday was Memorial Day and I hope you all remembered to remember and honor those who died in service to our country no matter how you feel about the conflict they served in.
Here’s what I did over this long [...]

No more Monday Monday on Tuesday.  That’s just wrong.
So here’s what I did this weekend.
** update**
I just re-read this post and realized that if you aren’t a cyclist it sounds like I am a nutjob who speaks in some strange tongue.  I’m not going to re-write it.  Just an observation.

That second climb looks a lot [...]

1). Let me just apologize for the picture in my last post.  Those are just fluffy bits of lovely cotton, you know.
I’m better – almost 100%!  I didn’t workout today but I also didn’t sleep.  I didn’t take any cold meds.  I am almost all better and so very grateful for that. 
2).  Does  anyone who [...]

I had a double experience today that just left me shaking my head.  It comes under the category of “did they really think that would work?” 
1). First off my dealings with Comcast – my internet/phone/cable TV provider.  On December 12th I called to have HDTV installed and to get their ‘triple play’ bundle that included [...]

I’m alive!!  I have missed Monday Monday and Hump Day Miscellany but consider yourself saved from drivel.  I had nothing to say that couldn’t be said in 12 words or less on FaceCrack.  I admit it – I’m hooked!
 
 

So today in email I was directed to  this article
Top Cyclists Can’t Eat Anything They Want…
So maybe I [...]

  In 2005 Nike launched an ad campaign that was intended to be body positive and pro-running (well duh- it’s Nike!)  One of their posters showed a nice, healthy pair of thighs and declared in large print – I Have Thunder Thighs and in smaller print “And that’s a compliment because they are strong and [...]
