Actually right now it’s raining, and while it will still be hot here in the Northeast tomorrow, the weather gurus say the string of thunderstorms blowing across Long Island will bring in some nice, dry hot air for a change. Yay! I’ve been avoiding running a lot lately because of the heat and humidity,...

I went for an outside run this morning. 2.5 miles. Yay! I surprised myself, in a good way. It’s been pretty much a month since I’ve run anywhere other than the treadmill. And my treadmill runs have been pretty awful. Lots of walking. I think that’s a mental thing between me and the treadmill...

I did a brick tonight. The first one in a very long time. Every time in the last two months when I’d get to the point where I was ready for bricks, I hurt something. First the knee. Then the toe. But tonight I did a brick. 25 minutes on the bike (trainer) and...

My first tri of the season is five weeks from yesterday. And I’m ready to jump back into training full force to have a good race. This first race, EventPower’s Mini Mightyman (400-meter pool swim, 6-mile bike, 2-mile run) is the perfect race for starting the season, especially since I am still such a...

Yesterday, around 4:00 pm, I was headed out to my niece’s birthday part and had to stop at Walgreen’s for a card and a couple of waters for hubby and me for the ride. For whatever reason, I strolled down the candy aisle aimlessly, not really knowing what I was looking for. But when...

Over at the FoodFoodBodyBody blog, Foodie McBody has a post about eating an amazing slice of pizza after deliberating about it for a quite a while. Bottom line, she ate it, she enjoyed it, and she stayed within the boundaries of her health and fitness plan. In the comments section, there was everything from...

Tomorrow is race day. And I’m kicking myself that I did not take the day off from work today to relax and get ready. I’m nervous just as I was before my last race, but this time I at least have some idea of what to expect…except for the pool stuff. Laundry is done....
