Breakfast was the theme for the day: Before I took off for the airport I enjoyed a delicious protein packed pancake and then packed some dry cereal and nuts for a little plane treat A few hours of reading, crosswording, sleeping and munching on a random salad I finally arrived in Charlotte for my work …

On the mend
I can walk again! Before I would call it hobbling and yesterday I was actually able to walk around with only mild discomfort 🙂 Reading on the bike was part of the morning routine to loosen up a bit and then a met a college friend for a nice lunch out. Because I was tossing …
Finding the positives
There are many bloggers who post inspirational/motivational quotes and pictures on Monday morning to start of the week with hopeful thoughts. Personally, this week has felt a bit too long and has ended a bit less than positive. So I am posting some of my own pick me ups for all of you to enjoy …
Sick Day
I survived the night and felt much better than I did Wednesday afternoon, but I spent Thursday at home resting up. Most of the day was spent watching TV, surfing the world wide web and a bit of work. I know this stomach bug is going around and it's only supposed to last 24 hours, …
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
It happened - I couldn't avoid it much longer after all of that quick travel over the weekend...I got the stomach bug. I made it through a few hours of work and then realized I wasn't going to make it the rest of the day, so my knight in shining armor (Dave) came in his …

Run it off
My Chi Running book came in the mail and I dove right into it. So far I've only read chapter 1 and I am more interested in getting to chapter 4, which focuses on technique, but this one sentence was quite appropriate for yesterday: "... I love running. It's like having an old friend that …
Can I have a do-over morning please?
When I woke up at 5:40 yesterday morning I was expecting to go to a 6:15 spin class and then catch the 7:30 bus to work - well let me tell you this did not happen. Instead, when I got to the gym, with plenty of time to sign up for the class mind you, …
Sunday scenes from a gym
Well, the rain returned so I spent Sunday morning at the gym with other 49er fans putting in a workout before the game later that day. SCENES FROM THE GYM... The evening was full of chips and homemade guacamole and sadly ended in a loss for our San Francisco 49ers 😦 Now who do I cheer …
