infinitely sustainable pace

Finally feeling better, getting to enjoy an actual summer.
this year i got smart about the garden and timed things much better. Some judicious weeding and mulching means that we get to enjoy some fine produce with minimal labor. Great pea harvest. Now waiting on the beans, summer squash, carrots and tomatillos. Cucumbers and peppers are [...]

Lovely late day road ride to get back in the swing of things.

hard times here. no, not because of the crazy heat wave (we are blessed with air conditioning units to help in weeks such as these). I’ve got the dreaded summertime sickness. But not a cold or flu. I suffer from dyshidrosis. It’s a chronic condition that I seem to see every year the first week [...]

Somehow I survived the past month and that week in the Orlando Convention Center wasn’t nearly as bad as I had expected it to be. Sometimes it helps to have low expectations I guess. While I was gone I got a grand total of two (2) workouts. Both runs. Both hella sweaty, even the treadmill [...]

Going into it I was feeling pretty drained from thinking too much at work, and cognizant that I might be doing a XC race in New Hampshire this [...]

Love this view of Willoughby from Burke Mountain.

After a whole lot of advertising the Tuesday Night Ladies Ride, I ended up bowing out last night and sent George out to lead the ride. I’m in the midst of another rash attack on my hands. It’s basically like hives or eczema covering my fingers and hands, swelling, pain and itching. Totally awesome. Totally [...]

But anyway.  Saturday K went over to his Aunties house for a little time with the extended family and George and I met [...]
