Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Sadly, there was none of this today: The rainy, icky weather didn’t let up at all today, so I hit the treadmill at the gym for my scheduled marathon training workout. Track Workout 3 2 lap warm up, 2 X’s 1600M, 4 lap warm down, recovery should be the same amount of time it took [...]

This morning, I woke up feeling so sore after yesterday’s Body Pump class. I don’t think there was a single muscle in my entire body that wasn’t sore. But, I’m training for a marathon, so I sucked it up and went out for a 4-mile run after breakfast. For the past 6 weeks, I’ve pushed myself [...]

Our team run wasn’t terrible at all. It just included a HUGE hill!! Plus, Mal came up with this clever post title and was really proud of himself, so I decided to use it. Bright and early this morning, Mal and I met our team and headed out for 8 miles around South Boston. Our [...]

A friend told me about it a few weeks ago, but it didn’t fit in with the TNT training schedule. But now that Mal and I are running the P.F. [...]

You’ll never guess what Mal and I left locked up in Vermont… our Garmins!!! GAH! We locked them in the safe in our hotel room and forgot them there. Oops! Thankfully, the nice people at Topnotch offered to mail them to us. Without my Garmin, I decided to do my track workout on the treadmill [...]

Mal and I did our first Team In Training track workout on an actual track this afternoon. Both Track Workout 1 and Track Workout 2 were completed inside on a treadmill due to high temps, but today’s cooler weather allowed us to run outside. I can’t even remember the last time I ran on a [...]

I love my husband. But, this morning, when he told me that he ran 4 miles in 30:22, I sort of hated him. That’s a 7:35 pace! Who is this freak of nature!?! He doesn’t even like running!! Not fair. Mal headed out the door for his run as soon as he woke up, but [...]

House update!!! We heard back from the sellers. It’s not good news or bad news; we received a counteroffer. Now we’re playing the game! To get the ball rolling, Mal and I put in a pretty low offer, so, not surprisingly, the sellers made a counteroffer. It’s not the end of the world, but they [...]

Hey, there! This is going to be a monster blog post, so let’s make sure we don’t forget about lunch! I had the “basics” (romaine, tomatoes, green bell pepper, broccoli) for a homemade salad, but they didn’t sound too exciting. So, after my workout, I visited the salad bar at The Fruit Center to pick [...]

When it comes to running, this New England gal is not used to the Florida humidity. I thought that I was going to melt on my 6 mile run this morning. Somehow, I survived, and now I’m enjoying a delicious iced coffee in my hotel suite. One of the best parts about my job (besides [...]
