Missed Part 1 of my recap of my two-day stay at Kripalu Center? Forgot I even went there at all since it’s been forever? Grr…I’m not going to apologize for my sporadic blogging, since it’s my blog and I do what I want, but still. When they come up with that 30-hour day, I’ll be [...]
Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 1
Post subtitle: vacation recap #1 Once again, if you’re new to these parts, last week I took a trip to Boston, starting with a two-day (1.5 days, really) stay at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, located in the Berkshires region of western Massachusetts. My (and Mitch’s) flight, transportation to and from the retreat, [...]
Pack it Up Pack it In
Hey! I’m getting ready for my trip but I wanted to pop in here first. I’m going to post my half-marathon recap tomorrow morning, since I took today off from exercise (which ended up being a good thing since I worked and was running around, and I kinda jacked up my shoulder yesterday so I [...]
Quinoa and Countdowns
Two more days…two more days…two more days of work until my vacation! I’m totally doing the pre-vacation dance. And the countdown. Actually, that’s not even true that I’m done in two days. I’m working overtime at my museum on Saturday and Sunday, and we leave for Boston on Monday. Somewhere in there I need to [...]
Half Marathon Training Week 4
Oh my, am I really a month into my half training! One down, three to go. This week, I feel like I slacked off on my training, but looking at it again, I think I did OK. Monday: Nothing. I was going to do some yoga, but ran out of time. Tuesday: 3 miles. I [...]
Micro-blogging the Grand Canyon
Is anyone else as looking forward to the weekend as I am? Well, I always look forward to the weekend. Originally I had no plans but now I’m hanging out with a friend on Saturday and going to a little housewarming party on Sunday. Social events like parties kinda stress me out since my diet [...]
Arizona Awaits
Today’s the big day! I just have to get through bootcamp this morning, come home and shower, eat breakfast, throw the rest of my stuff in a bag, and then we hit the road! I’m really happy Mitch’s mom is able to puppy-sit for us while we’re on our Arizona adventures. Here is our crazy [...]
Active Indulgence in Palm Springs
Palm Springs (well, Palm Desert, technically) was SO nice! I only wish we could have stayed a few more days, but isn’t that usually the case with vacations? Mitch’s dad and his wife were SO gracious for hosting us for a mini-vacation. True to form, I didn’t take too many photos (I’ve got to be [...]
Pre-Vacation Soup Making
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs! I’m hoping the trip is a really nice mix of activity (between the golf course, tennis court, pool, and gym), relaxation, and fun foods/drinks. Mitch’s dad and his wife are being so gracious in treating us to this lovely (and I might add, NEEDED) [...]
