Back at it

I counted my miles of jogging and running for 2009 last night: 1382 total. That was better than 2008 which was 1115 total but then in '08 I only counted running miles - no jogging included. It wasn't bad but I'm still working toward a total of 1500. Maybe 2010 will bring more miles, faster running and greater motivation. We shall see. It wasn't so bad getting up early today because I fell asleep last night sometime before 9pm. I decided to do 5 minutes of running on the treadmill mixed with weights and resistance training inbetween running. The result [...]

A Birthday in South Carolina

The time is flying. It’s January 2nd and that means we have a birthday to celebrate. It’s my mother’s birthday. Go Mum!!! The day flew past. Today was a walking day with Shane. We ran the past couple of mornings and since both Ted and I went to bed at a descent hour last night, I thought it would be safe to wake Ted up and get him out the door and walking with Shane and I. The three of us went around the plantation for 4.2 miles. It was COLD! I didn't have my windy, cold winter weather walking [...]

A Berry Good Breakfast

Happy Tuesday. Quick post as I'm running late. Last nights DVD was "The Lodger". It was a good movie. Nothing more than 2 1/2 stars but not too bad.

Fancy Apple and Fancy Oats

It seemed like the rain was falling all night. It wasn't predicted to be a very pleasant day today, turning cold, possible snow. Well, it wasn't snowing. The rain was falling very lightly at 5:30 am and the wind was blowing. Will it ever end? The only thing to do is turn on all the lights in the house, crank the heat up as high as it will go, and make a Pina Colada, while laying on a towel in the middle of floor wearing only your bathing suit. No, can't do that. We have to think GREEN and that [...]
