Headaches make me feel aimless. I like to be productive and headaches make me feel resentful about the things I have to/want to do, and then I feel resentful of myself for being resentful of my to do list. Its very overwhelming, really. So, I guess you already figured out I have a throbbing, pounding […]

Nothing but fluff and a sunny Sunday

Had a great run this morning, and met a few new people. Its fun getting to know new people during a run. The sun was shining and the weather was perfect for running really. Unfortunately, I had a few too many layers on and wound up red faced and sweating. After the run, my mom […]

My Yang Child

My son has long hair and he does not like to brush or wash it. It is a struggle every time. I triumph enough that there are no parasites or birds nests in it, but not enough that his hair could be considered well groomed, by any stretch of the imagination. The girls from his […]

Short post tonight I think. I try to write every day. I did a hill run Tuesday and a regular one on Wednesday and I am feeling quite nervous because my knee is twinging. In light of my past injury prone running career, I am anticipating being derailed. But we’ll see. I went to hot […]

A Milkshake Mix Up and OMG I love my kids.

Without laughter, I don’t think I would have survived this far. My sons and I have silly fests every night. It is the very best thing in my life, without exception. We like to blow silly stories about ordinary events in our lives completely out of proportion and we completely satirize the smallest of stangenesses. […]

On the grueling intervals

My husband is my favourite running partner. I had to cajole him to start running with me. He is never keen to start a new routine or change an old one. He argues vehemently about the length of the intervals and runs that I concoct for us, but on the trail he is a trooper. […]

Went for a run at 8:30am with the running club and had Thanksgiving Dinner for my extended family cooked and eaten by one pm. Check Check Check. Now everybody’s gone home and the  house is sparkling, the fridge is stuffed with leftovers and I have the rest of  the day today and all today tomorrow […]

Ready now.. to get out of bed

Early morning today. Can’t sleep and I’ve been sleep starved all week. I woke up at four and have so far googled the following topics: -hair, fashion and beauty videos -running technique videos which led to inspirational running story videos (famous and inspired runners) -kettle bell and weight lifting videos – yoga videos -Flickr photos […]

Deeper than dinner

Friday night. Had a nice Italian dinner with my husband. A date is a good thing, they don’t happen that often when your kids are tweens and teens. They no longer need a babysitter, but you feel guilty leaving them, so you don’t that often or for very long, but it is nice to see […]

Yoga: A child and Two Cities Later

Tonight is a yoga night. Actually I have the good fortune to live in a place where there are options for yoga and just about every other physical activity every night of the week. Me, I like to take advantage of them. Like Olivia Newton John, I like to get physical. So while lately running […]
