Yesterday, whenI got up at 4:30 am for a Saturday morning run, I didn’t bother to check the weather. It seemed perfect to run as early as possible and we were running by the ocean so it’s always very breezy. To me, the weather was perfect for running, until it started to rain, quickly after … Continue reading Weekend long run in the rain

Yesterday, my coach had a new challenge for me, no more running half a lap or part of it. This time, I had to run one lap in 3 minutes, no more no less. If it took longer I had to run faster, if it took less I had to slow down. He told me … Continue reading Keeping up with the running challenges
Today I want to be very thankful that my dog, Indy, is doing a lot better. She went back to the veterinarian yesterday and she is doing well. Her hip is doing a lot better but her left leg is still tied up in a cast. She can’t stretch it but she wants to walk … Continue reading Very thankful to be in a happy place again
I just realized this afternoon that the month is just about to end and I completely forgot about the Apple fitness challenges. I was so focused on running that I completely forgot I was going to try to do one, maybe two, in each of the last two months of the year. If I had … Continue reading November Collection- Get your shoulders in great shape
It’s been a tough week; my dog, Indy, got hit by a car on Thursday when a gate was accidentally left open and Sandy (Indy’s sister), Lego ( one of my brother’s dogs) and her were playing next to the sidewalk unsupervised. When my parents heard the noise inside the house, they quickly ran out. … Continue reading How could someone do this to my dog?
Exactly six years ago, my parents and I adopted two puppies who needed a home. These two adorable girls changed our lives for the better and have made us so happy throughout these past six years. They have taught me how to be responsible for someone else, made me laugh, made me worry, and even … Continue reading Six years with Indy and Sandy
This Thanksgiving, was not like any other. Instead of watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, I spent the day watching football (soccer) games, because for the first time the FIFA World Cup is happening in November. This year, it is being held in winter, not summer because of the soaring temperatures in the summer in … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
I don’t think I had been able to take a break and relax for the last three days until this afternoon. First there was Thanksgiving on Thursday when, even though it was nice seeing family again after at least two years, it was still a lot being a co-host to the celebration. If waking up … Continue reading Intense Thanksgiving weekend
I decided to take it easy for a week to recover from those intense nine weeks of Insanity so I’m doing Yoga this week. I might also start using the stationary bike but I’m still not sure, maybe I should just rest for the rest of the week. That was an intense program, even with … Continue reading Yoga recovery week
Out of nowhere, I’m already on week three of Focus T25 Gamma. Actually, I’m more that halfway done with week three. This sort of seems a little unbelievable because Gamma Phase is not easy but the great part is that there are no double days. Friday is just one regular video just like the rest … Continue reading Week three of Gamma Phase
I’m proud to say I completed day three of my first week of Focus T25 Gamma. That’s right, three straight days of the most challenging Focus T25 videos so far. Because I only just began this series, I’m still not able to do everything as fast as them or well as they do it, but … Continue reading My first week is going great!
I came home from work very hungry and wanted to cook something quickly, so I decided to go with shrimp and french fries. I usually just put these in the oven and toaster oven and they're done in less than 20 minutes; it's very easy and that's just what I wanted. The only problem was … Continue reading When the smoke detector goes off
A few weeks ago, during a trip to Home Depot, we bought the kitchen cabinet handles for my kitchen. Between our busy life during the week and one thing or another during weekends, we really didn't have time to put them on the doors. I did have time to unscrew a door and screw it … Continue reading We’re still decorating
I'm happy to say that right now I'm writing from the comfort of the living room in my new apartment! I moved in yesterday and as much as I wanted to tell everyone about it, I was too tired by the time I stopped trying to organize. The movers first went to our old apartment … Continue reading I’m home!!!
