Small
town “Island” feel…Dancing with the Island
Stars!
We recently attended a benefit event at the Sanibel Community House
in Sanibel Island, FL that was just spectacular. Our friends the
Zurbriggens, of Zurbriggen Financial,
were involved with the production.... |

Embrace
the Winter…
Many people who live in climates with cold winters resign themselves
to “hibernation” mode and stay inside, sit on the couch,
and eat potato chips. Okay, well, maybe not the potato chip part,
but many people tell us that they gain 5 pounds every winter because
they are so inactive... |

Dairyland
Dare preparation…the ride that never happened for me…
This summer was supposed to be my summer for cycling, however,
what I didn’t know was that I would suffer from really bad
shin splints with resultant back pain that would keep my hopes
of finally conquering the Dairyland Dare from happening... |

Mexican-Style
Comfort Food
I was recently contemplating what to make to bring to a friend’s
house for a pot luck dinner. I had my trusty pound of grass-fed
organic ground beef thawing, but I wanted to make something different,
yet affordable and able to serve at least six people. |

Cary
Half Marathon Report
March 15 my friend Karen and I completed the Cary Half Marathon.
Many in the Chicago area runners circles look at this race as the
kick off to the running season. For me, it was smack dab in the
middle because I really enjoy training in the winter. |

The
Las Vegas Half Marathon
Well, you haven’t heard from me in quite a while now—and
not because there is nothing going on, but because there is too
much going on. Things are busy and exciting and that’s
always a plus! |

How's
the training going?
Well, you’re probably wondering what happened to me lately?
No postings since the July 4th half marathon. Well, things are
quite busy around here... |

Ironman
Lake Placid, from a spectator's point of view
As you know, I am married to an Ironman athlete, as well as friends
with alot of Ironman athletes. Spectating for an Ironman race
is quite exhausting and you have to be in pretty good shape to
get around the course... |

July
Fourth Sanibel Half Marathon
July 4th 2008 ear-marked the first annual Sanibel Island Half
Marathon. It was a blazing hot day and each one of us had our “issues” – some
had injuries, some did poorly in the heat, some had never run
more than 10 miles – but somehow, we all managed to finish
the well-marked, well-supported Half Marathon... |

Cycling
on the Cape
In September of 2007 I went on the trip of a life-time cycling
in Italy.
Part of the reason the
trip was so much was fun was related to the people who were in our group.
Well, it was time for a reunion...

Take
Time to Watch the Sunrise
While recently on a trip to Sanibel Island, one of my favorites
places in the world to be, I awoke early to go for a run – even
before sunrise....

R&R
in Maui – Just What the Doctor Ordered!
Well, it has been two weeks since I completed the Disney Marathon.
The recovery from the immediate soreness post marathon was actually
pretty quick. That only lasted about four days or so. Why? I think
because I loaded up with proteolytic enzymes immediately following
the race...

The
Disney Marathon: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, here’s the race report that I promised to you. First
the bad news: I did not hit my goal of breaking 5 hours which I
really wanted to do. The good news was that I was very close – 11
minutes off.

Prolotherapy
Success for Acute Back Injury!
The power of Prolotherapy never ceases to amaze me! A few weeks
ago, I was running outside with my friend at 5:30AM—yup,
on a dark, cold, snowy winter morning in Chicagoland! Sure enough,
I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and went flying onto my right
side, knee, and elbow. |
