Got a massage today and it was amazing. There were times when I almost konked out, and other times when I was on "high alert" because she was bustin' some serious moves on some very sore muscles, and it hurt. Not a bad hurt, but I had to keep reminding myself to "allow" the muscle … Continue reading Massage

Running vs. Yoga
While I am doing yoga, I am in a whole different world. I am out of my mind. Literally. While I am running, I am also in a whole different world, but I am totally IN my mind and all I want to do is escape it. In the yoga practice, I explore the interior … Continue reading Running vs. Yoga
Weird Food Person
We got out of Dodge this weekend. Went up to Ithaca to have dinner with Zee, do a little food shopping at Green Star, and just play. It was fun, but you know what? I think I have become "a difficult food person." Because nothing I ate sat right with me. The Moosewood lunch was … Continue reading Weird Food Person
Running Shoes
I finally figured out why I stopped running 20 years ago. It was because of the shoes. It used to be that running shoes were cool. Then the regular person, the person not into running at all, found out how comfortable running shoes were for just general, all-purpose shlepping around, so you found gramdmas and … Continue reading Running Shoes
A Colorado Blue Sky Day in Pennsyltuckey
Today was what Ira would call a "Colorado Blue Sky Day:" snow, brilliant sun, blue sky. And oh man did it ever work its magic on my mood! I felt so happy today! I drove to Corning for an early haircut and highlight, then went to Wegmans for groceries and treated myself to a soy … Continue reading A Colorado Blue Sky Day in Pennsyltuckey
Green Juice
This morning I made a little video of the making my morning juice. The sound isn't great because the juicer is really loud, but if you're into watching veggies get pulverized, you're gonna love this. If not, not so much. Oh, and it's over 8 minutes long. Fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_jqfH9QjSE
100 Questions
I was in a kind of slump today, so I went casting around for inspiration among the bloggers I read regularly. I am way behind on my Philosophers Notes, so I picked one at random. It was the one on How to Think Like Leonardo DaVinci. Brian Johnson reads books and summarizes the big ideas … Continue reading 100 Questions
The Stupor Bowl
Okay, right off the bat, I don't watch football. It's not that I hate football or anything, I just can't sit down and watch a whole game of it. But in this house, Boomer is addicted to football, which is why we got her in the first place. When we were looking for a breed … Continue reading The Stupor Bowl
Wine
There is a glass of wine sitting here on the coffee table, waiting for me to finish this post. It's Jargon Pinot Noir, if you must know. It's Friday night and I just had a super Happy Hour Yoga class with all my right people. I just love it when my right people show up. … Continue reading Wine
Americano (with room for cream) or Latte?
In between all the other stuff I have going, I've been flipping through this book, Marathoning for Mortals, the book that Tim picked for us as a guide to marathon-prep. I had no intention of running anything (except maybe a hot bath) when I walked into that meeting last night, but after flipping through this … Continue reading Americano (with room for cream) or Latte?
