Swimming With Music

January 31, 2011

For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing a long swim session each week. For me, that means an hour in the pool of freestyle laps (I don’t know how to swim any other stroke), each time being 2200 meters. Thus far, I have really enjoyed the solitude during these workouts – quite unusual for [...]

Coyote Hills Half-Marathon

January 30, 2011

When I woke up on race morning, the last very last thing that I wanted to do was to run a race. For once I had slept up to my alarm and I wanted nothing more than to continue sleeping. If I hadn’t made plans to meet up with friends who were also doing the [...]

Sunday Dinner

January 30, 2011

For tonight’s Sunday dinner, I used a recipe from Simply Recipes, one of the food blogs that I follow. Here’s the link to their post of the recipe, but you know how I hate having to click on another link to see the actual recipe, so I’ll copy it here too and add in my [...]

The Big Picture

January 28, 2011

I’m very happy that today is a rest day. After 3 days of double workouts this week, I really need it. Even though it’s a rest day, I’m naturally an early riser and on days where I don’t have an early morning workout, or work meeting, I like to spend a few hours alone in [...]

The Evolution of My Blogging

January 25, 2011

One of the questions posed during Bloggiesta was, “What are your goals for blogging?” Well, I never really thought about it. So I spent a lot of time over the weekend reflecting on my blog and how it’s evolved over the past 3-½ years. The Blogger Years Back in August 2007 I was getting ready [...]

I’m Sick

January 24, 2011

I had a great such a great experience with Bloggiesta this weekend and did a lot of reflecting on my past 3 years of blogging. I had a post all written out in my head about it, but sadly, my head is now congested. Badly. I thought I kicked this cold over the weekend, but [...]

Being Cautious and Sunday Dinner Recipe

January 23, 2011

At the start of the weekend I wrote: This weekend, I will run with some friends, attend a big family dinner, swim at the pool, attend more yoga classes than I have all year and have some frozen yogurt. Sadly, not everything went according to plan. After both of Wednesday’s workouts, I was feeling really [...]
