Except maybe me, through the woods. Today I did the Ives Run Trail Challenge (4 miles) which, after last weekend’s Dam Half Marathon (13 miles) should have felt like a cakewalk, but didn’t. It’s weird. This is how my mind works: If I know it’s a 13 mile run, I get tired at mile 11. … Continue reading Nothing Runs Like A Deer(e)
100 New Recipes, #2
I took out the slow cooker today. (Must be fall, huh?) Tonight I needed to rush home from yoga and be finished eating by 7 PM because tomorrow I am having the Community Diagnostic Blood Analysis done. For a mere $49 I will allow a fledgling phlebotomist to poke me about 17 times in the … Continue reading 100 New Recipes, #2
The Real Story
So here is the real story . I’ve been taking the advice of Chris Brogan in his great book Trust Agents and stepping out of the safety of “Lurker-ville “ What this means is that I am blogging more myself, and I'm starting to comment on blogs I enjoy, telling the authors what I like, … Continue reading The Real Story
Yeah, I’m a Fan Girl
Today I got an email from Steven Pressfield’s publicist. Seems I’ve been foisting The War of Art on all my friends so relentlessly and with such vigor and over-the-top-ness, that news of all this foisting has finally reached Steven’s “people,” and they wrote, begging, in the name of all my friends, and all that’s decent, … Continue reading Yeah, I’m a Fan Girl
Water Resistant
I have made the “Drink More Water” resolution every New Year’s Eve for at least the past 20 years. No lie. I go on week-long streaks of water-drinking, then revert back to “camel” mode where I don’t drink much of anything (except my morning coffee) for months on end. Even though Tim wrote it explicitly … Continue reading Water Resistant
On The Rocks
I am currently drinking an electrolyte replenishment drink called “Zenergize.” I have a blood blister on the bottom of my left big toe. I am walking down the steps one at time, verrry slooowly whispering, “Ouch, ouch, shit, ouch.” I got home from the Dam Half Trail Challenge yesterday afternoon, dropped my bag of smelly … Continue reading On The Rocks
100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia
Oh boy am I in a food rut! Same thing every week, almost. So this being Rosh Hashannah and all, I decided to make a New Year’s resolution to try 100 New Recipes this year. I got the idea from Orbitalmechanic, a LJer I have followed for a number of years. She does this, and … Continue reading 100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia
Mission Statement
I am reading a book called Trust Agents now and there is a section on setting goals. Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, the authors, are all for goal-setting. How will you know where to put your energies if you don’t have a direction? they argue. I understand this, I do. And I agree with it. … Continue reading Mission Statement
Yoga as Release Valve
I practice yoga everyday. For me, practicing yoga is spiritual hygiene. I would no sooner skip a day than skip a day of brushing my teeth or showering. Most people I know who practice yoga do it once a week. And when they skip many weeks in a row? Well, it’s never pretty. They come … Continue reading Yoga as Release Valve
Professor Mike
This morning, late as usual, I put on my yoga clothes, slipped a hoodie over my shoulders and walked out into HOLY SHIT IT’S COLD OUT HERE! But the sky was perfectly clear, and there was just the smallest sliver of a moon with some amazing star or planet hanging right next to it, like … Continue reading Professor Mike
