A Nothing Day

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Yesterday turned out to be one of “those” days when I got absolutely nothing accomplished: no chores, no exercise, not even reading or watching TV. I did spend a little time on the computer and managed to take not one, but two, naps. Saturday must have been harder on me than I thought. […]

My Excellent Adventure

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

One of the nice things about living along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada is that we have all kinds of fun trails to meander along. This morning, I thought I’d take a stroll along one of those nice trails, but I ended up going a little further than I originally planned.
Our neighborhood […]

Not Too Long

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

After work, hubby and I headed out for a ride; mine a quick one and his much longer (he’s still out as we speak). The temperatures are pretty warm right now and I didn’t have a lot of energy so I only managed 1.8 miles at an average speed of 7.8 mph, max speed […]

This Month

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

The 3.3 mile ride that hubby and I took this morning brought my total mileage for this month up to 80.10.  My morning stats: 3.3 miles at an average of 7.8 mph (max speed 12.6) with a total ride time of 24:55.  Since I left work yesterday, I’ve ridden nearly nine miles and I’m feeling […]

Now

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

The photo of me below was taken last weekend on my hubby’s cell phone camera as we stood on a pier in San Francisco Bay.  At the moment, I’m hovering around 200 pounds, I’m on medication for high blood pressure, and I’ve just found out that my “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides are too high (though […]

Around and About

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Hubby and I took a ride this evening after a two-day break on my part. We rode to the north Carson Albertson’s, south to Safeway, west on Washington, and back to Mountain. The total trip was 5.6 miles at an average speed of 8mph (max speed 16.1 mph) and took 42:31. Another […]

A Special Day

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Today is the anniversary of my hubby’s birth and I’d like to wish him a good one. Hopefully, you’ll get everything you want whether you need it or not!

Happy, happy birthday, from your main girl…

Good One

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Hubby and I have just returned from our weekend trip to the Bay Area and I must say that we had a great time.  Saturday evening, we had dinner with fun relatives and then took a stroll along a pier before hubby and I returned to our room to rest since I’d gone to the […]

Done

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I’ve just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I’m not going to post a review until I’ve had time to digest - and until hubby has finished reading.  All I can say at the moment is that I feel a sense of loss that this book series is done that really has […]

Cool, Cool Summer

Friday, July 20th, 2007

After the recent heat, temperatures are in the somewhat-chilly 50s.  This morning’s trip was a 3.1 mile ride at an average speed of 7.2 mph (top speed 11.9 mph) and a total ride time of 25:55.  We didn’t go far or fast, but the weather and company were both perfect.  What a great way to […]
