Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Weather conditions were just about perfect. Some heavy drizzle just before the start kept them from being the best possible. But the water was "warm" for the bay at 68 and the outside temps were the same and there was.......NO WIND!!! (oh thank you all the deities to be thanked!) My personal condition was less...

It's been a long time since I got to start my Sunday like this: Next weekend, in my final race for the season, I will be anchoring a relay team at the She Rox triathlon. Eve is swimming, Renee will bike and I will run. It's on the same course that I've run twice now... Continue Reading →
And now, the rest of the weekend in pictures to limit my writing time 🙂 I finished in 31:25 and 15 finished in 25:08. The best part was the ramp entrance into the stadium at the end. It was a perfect downhill and it totally shot you into sprint mode no matter how tired you... Continue Reading →
Where I was yesterday: And now, where I will be tomorrow: We are all hoping for a no-barfing-on-the-stadium-turf race from Alex 🙂 Really don' t need to see that on the jumbotron! Of course, since we start running at the same time, I wont have to worry about seeing that as he will finish close... Continue Reading →
Yes, I am a runner now - as of just over a year ago - but for my first 46 years...ok...maybe I shouldn't count those first couple eh?...my favorite mode of exercise was walking. I could walk forever. A few times I even walked 60 miles over 3 days 🙂 Mostly though, I walked or... Continue Reading →
I know, I've gone from writing every day in the Merry Month of May to maybe thinking about this place once a week 🙂 What can I say? I wrote my fingers off last month. That was a lot of output. June has been about more input. Researching a new business website topic. Going back... Continue Reading →
I've shared before that my version of a Perfect Sunday includes a nice cat nap on the sofa with a baseball game on the TV. Today was ripe for just such an event. Up at 5:30 in order to be alert, dressed and having eaten something to get me through a long run. I met... Continue Reading →
How do you know I am done with May? Because I was *this* close to forgetting to post. Its 10:30 - 15 and I just got home from a round of celebratory milkshakes with Eve & Renee. What were we celebrating? Renee's new website! Also? 15 finished his online English course! Also? I had to... Continue Reading →
Google is my friend. And my enemy. And my editor. Tonight I had to read some more lessons for the class I'm taking which meant I needed to shut out the ambient noise. And with the return of 15 the noise level went up 10 fold. I grabbed my earphones and put on some music.... Continue Reading →
Starting off with the beauty since the rest of the day was pretty lacking in it. Ok, not entirely true, the beach I whizzed by in the car on the way to and from work was pretty darn gorgeous but there was no chance to stop and take a photo. The jacaranda tree is the... Continue Reading →
