Stretching and core strengthening

Well since I’m side-lined with what appears to be shin-splints, I am doing my best to just stretch and concentrate on other types of fitness that won’t aggravate this until I can go back to running, perhaps less aggressively. Thursday, my friend gave me some personal training on the Eliptical. It was a challenging workout […]

Running supplemental – January 8, 2009

If any of you have been following my blog, you know I just started a new running regiment. I was getting a little better each day and feeling great about it. My last run was on a treadmill, and every single step I took hurt. I figured I was just sore from doing something new. […]

Day 4: Yuck the treadmill

I had to go to work today and if I wanted to keep up my training routine, I had to go to the gym and do it on a treadmill. This is a very different experience than running out in the street. You think it would be more pleasant because the climate is better, but […]

Day 3: GPS works, woohoo

This morning I was a little more organized and remembered to bring my egg-timer. I’m getting better and preparing but I’m also painfully aware that I need my own gear. Yesterday, I realized like a dunderhead, that I was mapping not only my running route, but my warm up and cool down route, and incorporating […]

Day 2: Off again on my fitness journey

It turns out my husband called in sick so I had a lot more flexibility and was able to go out for a run. It was a lot easier getting out the door this morning because I had a better idea what clothing I could wear that would be appropriate. I forgot my egg-timer so […]

Day 1: My running journey begins

Running is always a sport I admired. It’s something that everyone can related to. We all ran as children. It requires very little equipment, it can be done in just about every place, it can be done alone or with a team. It also has fantastic health benefits. It’s great for your cardiovascular health, it […]

So it begins again, can we call this day 1?

This morning I was a little more organized and remembered to bring my egg-timer. I’m getting better and preparing but I’m also painfully aware that I need my own gear. Yesterday, I realized like a dunderhead, that I was mapping not only my running route, but my warm up and cool down route, and incorporating […]

Chef Boyardee must be doing something right

My husband and are are both native New Yorkers with sophisticated palettes. We have been exposed to cuisines of all nationalities and are generally pretty open minded about food, with one caveot. It must be good quality ingredients. You see, my husband is a former chef who worked with the likes David Boulez, Patrick Clark and […]

Don’t buy it, make it!  Three easy recipes

I often go to parties and I find it difficult to believe that people would buy a Pina Colada mix rather than making it themselves. The real thing tastes so much better! Alas, it seems life has gotten too convienent. It’s almost as if people have forgotten the taste of real food. ‘ I decided to […]

How do you get your ‘mansuit’ clean? Buy Dial for men!

Sometimes you have to wonder what is going through the mind of advertising executives. The exact text on the label says: The problem? Is it possible to get really clean, remove rough skin, and eliminiate odor from your mansuit without drying it? No, it’s not a typo! More later! The result: Your hair covered, meat […]
