Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and that means love is in the air! Red and pink hearts are popping up in the stores, vases full of red roses are donning the florists’ windows, and restaurants are booked solid. Romance is hot, hot, hot! And sometimes for some it is not, not, not. Sometimes, we …
OK ladies, it is time to get real here. Seems like since I have hit the age of 50 (three years past now) the need to get to the bathroom has taken on a whole new sense of urgency. Not a good feeling! I love my morning coffee, I try to drink water throughout the …
What do you think is the leading cause of death among adults in the U.S.? I used to believe that a form of cancer was the number one killer. Then I learned that every minute in the United States, someone dies from cardiovascular disease making it the number killer. Yet a new survey conducted by …

Welcome to month three or more accurately weeks 10 − 14 of my training schedule! I am happy to say that all is going well on my end. While I am not able to complete 100% of the training – I am above my 80% completion threshold that I hold for myself. My hats off …
Well, I am three weeks into my training schedule and it is going OK. I have not stuck to my calendar 100%, but I am feeling really good about what I have been able to accomplish. Last night it was utterly cold out. I shivered waking into the pool area, and I was really not looking forward …
I have been doing a pretty good job sticking to my workout schedule. I have not been perfect, but I never strive for perfection anyways. I have been back in the pool, on the bike, and out on the road running. Lol! My running is much more like shuffling, but I have been back out “shuffling” …
