Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed. But one of our sensei showed me (and the kids I was teaching) the trick of immediately “chambering” after each move. What you end [...]

C5k W1D2: the good, the bad and yoga
Two workouts in one week! Went to the gym yesterday. Steve had a lot to say about it today. Lots of advil needed to keep me upright. Second session of a.m. yoga with the kids today.

C5k: W1D1(again) and other misc notes
My mom was up for a visit last week (yay!) so I didn’t exercise at all. Figured I’d better do day one again. My right IT band is a bit tight but other than that I’m feeling pretty good. Gotta remember to stretch and roll tomorrow…. hrm… maybe we’ll start studies off with some morning [...]

The Runner’s Road Back
To health and hopefully to a more positive mental outlook… I took the first step today. I’m sure Steve will have something to say in the morning. So far, I’m not in any more pain than when I started. 60sec of running alternating with 90sec walking for 20min. At first the walking bits were frustrating [...]

Quickie post…Made soap yesterday! If you’re wondering why I used this or that, it is usually because it is what I had on hand. 8/29/09 Fats & Oils Castor Oil…1oz Coconut Oil…4oz Pomace Olive Oil…39oz Palm Oil…4oz 6.3oz lye 18oz distilled h2o 1.2oz Eos (lavender, bergamot & patchouli) Notes: Softish. Think I added the EOs [...]
Feelin’ Great & Workin’ Hard
Man! this has been quite a week. Third quarter has begun too! The year is flying by with flying colors. Monday and Tuesday I felt incredibly great… lots of energy, lots of ideas. Wednesday not so much, but I had lots of caffeine and was up later than usual. Baaad mommy! Yesterday I felt better. [...]

Mixed Bag
…Beware: rambling post… Like the pic? We went ice skating with friends on Friday. It was soooo packed. Lots of fun though! Did a little computer house-cleaning (deleting) yesterday… discovered today that there were at least a couple files I REALLY needed in all that. Yes, I emptied the trash can. Specifically, a bruise juice [...]

First 5
Ran my first 5 miles of ’09 yesterday afternoon at the park. It was a gorgeous 50+ degrees. Took this picture with the cell phone as I ran. This is the first time I’ve done 4 laps around this park. Bob said, “Hey! your halfway to your 10k and it is only January.” LOL! For [...]

Goals
Back again so soon! Killing a few minutes before waking up the kids to drive down (or is it up) to the Amish community for some groceries. Fresh milk and eggs, yum! Been thinking about goals vs resolutions. Between Cat and Bob, I have lots of inspiration. This year I’m setting goals vs making resolutions. [...]
