Ok, people, I've arrived at that place where many of you have been for weeks, if not months - I'm done with winter. As I look out my sliding glass window at the still light at 7:15 pm sky, I want to feel enticed to venture outdoors, to take a walk or run. Instead, I'm … Continue reading Hit the road, Jack (Frost)

Hips don’t lie…
...but sometimes they do cry. As I transition from a season of x-country skiing to being back on the pavement, my hips are screaming in protest.

We began at 5:15 at The … Continue reading Spinning my wheels getting hot
Black (and blue) ice
My run Sunday came at a price - more specifically, the knee of my oldest running tights and a little skin on both my palm and my knee. Jeter and I had gotten a later start at the golf course than I had hoped, and by the time we completed the back nine and were … Continue reading Black (and blue) ice
Hot yoga, even when it’s not hot
Saturday I took advantage of the kind of deal that makes a cold January morning hot - a free 45 minute class taught by Andrea of The Hot Yoga Spot studio(s) and hosted at the new Athleta store at Crossgates Mall. This awesome community partnership will provide additional classes for each subsequent Saturday this month … Continue reading Hot yoga, even when it’s not hot
