I’ve fallen off a lot of things recently. Blogging. “Other” exercise (than Crossfit). Amazing Race training. Watching what I eat. I definitely have a “SQUIRREL!” mentality. I start focusing on something new – and drop the balls I’m juggling in favor of …

I started Crossfit last year, on September 6th. As I type this post, that means I have been doing Crossfit for 9 months. In the year before starting Crossfit, I had done a few marathons and half marathons (5), some open-water swims in the S.F. Bay (brr …

So. Back seemingly a billion years ago (I think it’s coming up on a year, but it might actually be 2!), I started yoga at a bikram studio nearby. I was doing it with my friend Belinda which was great – we each got a Groupon (actually, I got the Groupon …

So, as you (the mythical you, since “you” really means “me”) can see, I haven’t blogged in a while. I find that I’m often spinning plates – and then all the plates crash to the ground. H calls me a “gadget freak” and that’s somewhat true. Have you seen …

I was listening to the America’s Test Kitchen Radio yesterday, and I heard of a project that I think the word must be spread about. It’s AmericanGut.org. What’s it about? From their website: “The Human Microbiome Project and other microbiome projects w …

I think I mentioned that Sunday I got up at 0-dark-00 to help the LLS Team In Training tribabies on their first Open Water triathlon. It was “Spring Forward” day, and my husband just laughed himself silly that I was getting up so early, as he snuggled …

You know, I actually know myself pretty well – having been with myself 50+ years now. And when you know yourself, it’s best to LISTEN to yourself. I have joined the “Crossfit Community,” now about 5 months ago. Seems amazing it can be that long, since …

So, as all you (non-existent LOL) readers know, I started at my Crossfit box via a Groupon. Well – kind of. I had tried Crossfit out before heading off to my final marathon of the season last year (in Vienna in May), but HATED the way I was treated (at …
