Thanks bunches for your kind words in response to my race-related freakout. I KNOW I've got this one in the bag, I just need to remember NOT to let my nerves get the best of me! Work has been so-so this AM. It's always difficult to get back into the swing of things. [...]
I'm getting really, really nervous about the Gasparilla Distance Classic this weekend. As you know, I am racing a 15K at 7:30 on Saturday, a 5K at 9:00, and then a Half Marathon the next morning. Any of these races, I could easily handle alone, but the idea of doing it back-to-back-to-back is freaking me [...]
We had so much fun at our local wine superstore (Total Wine) today! For Valentine's Day, I gave the Husband two tickets to the "California Dreamin' - Wines from Napa Valley" class.

Evening! I'm not sure what's up with me -- I am positively POOPED! I guess I did do a lot today! After my run with the Orlando Women Runners club and lunch, I got dressed to meet Meghann at the mall. Before walking out the door, I realized I needed to eat more and [...]
Morning! I am just buzzing with excitement! Ever since I moved to Orlando 2 years ago, I've been trying so hard to find a social group I click with, and I think I might've found that with the Orlando Women Runners club! The meet-up time was 9 AM (major plus, not too early!) so [...]
Last night, I had Mexican food with a Mexican beer, and tonight I had Thai food with a Thai beer. A-ma-zing. But first, I made sure I squeezed in a decent run! :) I did 5.0 miles in 50 minutes exactly around 3:30 PM. Here are my statistics: Duration: 50 minutes (5.0 miles) [...]
As you all know, every now and then I post my favorite song of the moment. I guess I should preface this one with a warning not to play it around little ears. Britain's answer to Britney!
Good afternoon! I spent three hours in the social security office and the bank trying to get all my records changed per my new last name! It was a headache, but at least a lot of it is OVER with! :) I was seriously starvvvvvvvving by the time I left, but I needed to [...]
