The 30 minutes on the bike this morning went by really quickly for some reason. Sometimes if I am lucky there is something interesting on the tube and the time just flies.
Today was the last day of packing at work. We unplugged our computers and phones and boed those up right at the end […]

We had a nice group show up this morning! Nancy came down to join me, Walter, Steve O, Eric K and Merm. Steve and Merm started their run earlier so they could get a lap in before running two more with us. We ran two loops (doing the shorter route) at a steady […]

Oh wow was I feeling poorly this morning. Too much to drink the night before and waking up after only a few hours of sleep to face a hill workout first thing was horrid…just horrid. I met the group at the Broadmead Starbucks and from there we ran over to Mount Doug where […]

Well, I just found out that Juice can be a real sneaky bugger when he wants to be. He managed to organize a surprise birthday party without me suspecting a thing! He did all this too in the midst of opera and symphony rehearsals. What a sweetheart. We made plans to eat at […]

 Happy Valentine’s Day!! …and yes, it’s the big 4-0 birthday for me! Whoo-hoo! I got completely spoiled rotten today. When I got to work, Amy had brought in two dozen red tulips and a great loaf of bread that I like! I also got some high-end coffee and soap from Laurel and lot’s of […]

I woke up this morning feeling great! I had a really good sleep last night which helped with recovery. These past few weeks have been a bit much with all that has been going on at work and with our crazy schedules.! Juice had his dress rehearsal last night and despite getting home […]

I tried to sing this morning and it was pretty useless trying to get the energy going so I stopped and just went to work. Boo. I was pretty tired all day today. I haven’t been sleeping too well because Juice is getting home so late after rehearsals. Hoo. I will have to try […]

I didn’t know why but I had a strong desire to run around the lakes again today after work. It was drizzly so I knew it would be mucky and when I got to the p-lot there were just two cars  parked there….’That’s why I wanted to come here’, I thought. I love […]

Juice and I slept in until 8:30 but still made it to the lakes by 9:30 this morning. He brought his Nano and tried out the new shirt I bought him in Houston that has a built-in holder for it in the shirt. He said it worked perfectly!
My run felt pretty good […]

Yesterday was completely off. I met Juice for dinner between  rehearsals and then had a massage with the wonderful Kim Ward. I basically went straight home and crashed on the couch after that.
I sang before my run this morning. I had a lesson with Selena yesterday and realize I need to get some […]
