Progress!
There's the immediate progress in doing longer and more regular walks. I think I wrote a few days ago that a 5 mile walk was really no problem at all now. A couple of months ago it was a bit of a challenge. Yesterday I walked about 9 miles, and found that while it's still a challenge, it was much less of a challenge than the previous 8+ miles I' ( Read more... ) -

making a cookbook
(Asked on FB, too)
Has anyone here used an online program to create a cookbook? If so or if you've looked into the programs do you have any thoughts or recommendations?
I'm currently futzing around with tastebook.com and bookemon.com.
Tastebook gives you a hardcover book with a binder to hold the recipes and 10 tabbed category pages. Categories ( Read more... ) -
Today's walk
Another 8 miler, up to Lake Needwood and back. I was able to go the whole distance without hitting my limit like I did on my last 8 miler. I was pretty wiped out, but definitely felt like I could have gone further, especially if I took a short break first. I also knew the trail (it was an out and back starting and ending at my house), which ( Read more... ) -
Ouch!
Broke or jammed my pinky toe tonight. Iced it off and on and raised it for a couple of hours afterwards while using Reil as my gopher.
That and a few dozen ibuprofen seem to have calmed the pain a bit. But it's nice and swollen and all pretty and pink. (I'll keep an eye for blue/grey look to it.)
Tasty! -
Some extra mileage today!
I'd mapped a route down the Rock Creek Trail today that was about 7.25 miles, but had a few technical difficulties and had to take a detour to deal with those. That detour added enough distance that my final mileage was 8.12. It took me 2.5 hours, which was bumming me out, since I hadn't taken into account the extra distance, and I was thinking ( Read more... ) -
My clothing gripe for the day
Went to Dick's sporting goods to try to find a long sleeve tee in one of the nice wicking materials. Tried on some women's XLs, but couldn't come close to squeezing into them. They might fit a size 10/12. Tried on some women's XXLs. They were about 2 sizes too large.
Tried on one men's XXL and it was way too large and generally fit poorly. ( Read more... ) -
Molly broke her arm and 4-ish miles today
She fell down while playing outside our house yesterday. I wasn't convinced that her arm was broken, because she just didn't seem like she was in all that much pain. But, after her soccer game today, I could see that there was some swelling going on and it seemed like a trip in for an Xray was probably called for. And she was right. She should ( Read more... )
