So I was able to watch the first episode of The Amazing Race last night. As I have said to R, my “wish upon a star” goal right now is: (1) to get on TAR and (2) not to finish last. I figure that #2 could actually get us right on to the winning position […]

Days 31, 32, 33
I have to remember to get some sort of “counting app” for my computer – every time I go to write a blog post on our “365 days to TAR” I have to go back and physically figure it out from the calendar. Duh. I also have to say right off the bat here that […]
Wow, a non-TAR blog post: A List Of Things
Just saw THIS on The Ascent Blog and thought I’d do it too, since I am basically trying to avoid doing anything meaningful right this second. Making: a List! 🙂 Cooking: nothing at this moment. But I have to package out the delish pork dish I made last night – huge pork tenderloin cut in […]
Day 30: First day I had a BLAST at Crossfit – !!!
Just came back from Crossfit and HAD to post. I think the main reason I HAD to post is that I had a BLAST today (whilst – ahem – H lifted too heavy and has tweaked his lower back, so I can’t be excited in his presence). Today was a warmup of 400 m run, […]
Crossfit, packing, SHOES!I
Tuesday (Day 27), Wednesday (Day 28), Thursday (Day 29)…. I’m having my resident WordPress guru work on my ability to  be able to “add media” and spruce up these posts with photos, but for now I’m stuck with just text and linking out to websites. Hm. So Tuesday I had a much-needed appointment with my […]
Hiking, blisters, learnings, Crossfit…
Thursday (Day 22); Friday (Day 23); Saturday/Sunday (Days 24/25); Monday (Day 26) Thursday: On Thursday, we went up to the Mountain Home Inn, where we were staying for our anniversary and my birthday. Unfortunately, it was quite expensive and the physical “plant” of the inn was last refurbished in 1985 (yes, really). H was pretty […]
Day 21 – Crossfit. I mean, big surprise.
I really like Anthony. He’s the morning trainer at The Cave. I am getting to know the “gang” that comes in in the mornings – I don’t think they know my name particularly, but they know “who I am.” Today in the warmup we had to do a hang from the rope for 30 seconds […]
Days 18, 19, 20 – Crossfit and more Crossfit (and our anniversary)
Dang, TWENTY days? I’m pretty pleased with that. I mean – 20??? So Day 18 was Sunday, and H’s real first day home from Switzerland. We did a bunch of stuff around the house and all that jazz. We also walked to San Anselmo (H is still on “European time”) – which was great, because […]
Days 14, 15, 16, 17 – Crossfit, friends, more Crossfit . . .
So here’s a quickie check-in . . . Wednesday (Day 14) I went to Crossfit in the morning, and some of the folks from the Monday “friendly uncaring” class actually did the whole “wow, you came back” thing which was nice. I did tell them that since I couldn’t get out of my car, I […]
Day 12 & 13 – Crossfit again
so yesterday was Day 12. I was running around going to my nutritionist, chiropractor (threw out my neck SLEEPING – OMG!), walk with my friend Francine (about an hour), then Crossfit. The guy who was the coach is the guy who I was going back and forth on email with, when I was trying to […]
