Next!

Just wanted to report in that I had a GREAT day today. Yesterday I had a MEGA fail at running… or so I thought and then I switched it around… You know what?  I tried!  I went out there even though I was exhausted and had a bit of a belly ache (ate too many…

Easter Monday Bike Ride

Here in Europe, most of us have had a long weekend for Easter.  We don’t really celebrate religiously ourselves so for us it was just a nice long weekend.  We did have a special brunch (which hubs shopped for and ultimately included the Dutch favourite.  I was definitely on bread and cheese overkill yesterday) and spent the…

Everyone has them. For some people, an occasional slip engenders an all out binge…followed by guilt, self-recrimination, a sense of powerlessness,…

Daily 12/11

ugh ugh ugh – I am so not someone who can just sit still and do nothing. I feel so worthless right now.  Was thinking this morning “will it really be possible to run a 10K on the 6th of December?”  I realised I don’t even know when I get my stitches out.  Do I…
