It’s another soggy and windy weekend here and I have two very frustrated chihuahuas about not being able to go outside. Leela has been aimlessly wondering the house and Miko very happy to cuddle and play indoors. We did get a break from the rain last weekend and I got in as many outdoor runs as […]
Hunker Down for the Weekend List
Thank you for the kind words about Smokey, it’s still a sad adjustment. And yesterday morning I had to go back to the vet for the chihuahua’s annual checkup and shots appointment I scheduled awhile back and forgot about. Not fun being back there so soon after and the pups were really not happy to go, […]
Settling into 2017
It was great having yesterday off work, we stayed home most of the day in the rainy and windy weather working on projects, hubby fixed our fence with our neighbor, I cleaned and sorted out the closet and made some other minor repairs I’ve been meaning to get to – so nice. Today was back […]
Starting 2017 for the List
Happy New Year! New Year’s has never been a big holiday to me and I’m not sure why I can’t get excited about it. Being more introverted, going out with huge crowds and drinking too much is not appealing I guess. I’d rather spend the evening playing video games and watching movies at home or having […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Christmas 2016
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am thankful to have today off work, much needed after the busy holidays. For most adults, the day after Christmas is more like Christmas – the pressures of the holiday celebrations are over, no more cooking or rich eating, and hopefully a relaxing time to enjoy gifts. I’m […]
Winter Running & Leftovers
Winter is a running off-season for me, I can run in freezing temps and I’m even getting better at it and enjoying it more. Still runs are rarely impressive like Sunday’s short 4-mile run in the high 20s, low-30s. I got off to a late start because of the cold and cut it short to make […]
Just Chillin’ for the List
Happy Sunday, can you believe next weekend is Christmas?! December is flying by. Smokey is hanging in there, she likes to park it between me and the keyboard on weekend mornings when I’m in the office. She is not as energetic as she was a few weeks ago, but does not seem to be in […]
Splurging for the List
Happy Sunday – hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m a little sad it’s almost over. Miko did not enjoy the weekend as much because it rained most of it, not a happy camper about having to go outside in it! I am easing back into running after the CIM Sunday, logging an easy […]
Final Marathon Training Week Eats
Still trying to grasp that the marathon is less than a week away! Not feeling very nervous yet and just trying to go with it. The final 2-mile training run followed by 2 days of rest will feel strange I’m sure after logging so many miles. Just trying to be calm and enjoy our Christmas […]
