Wool Is Awesome!
Wednesday I got to try out a wool jacket I bought off ebay. It’s a plus-size plum-colored Lands End 100% wool jacket. It’s beautiful! I wore it and even though it is thinner than my ancient fleece jacket, it kept me very toasty. So toasty, in fact, I ended up leaving the jacket open! I’m … Read more
Testing. Testing. New Shoe or Three.
Last week I was shopping at Grossme Outlet. (That’s what a friend of mine calls Grocery Outlet since they carry a lot of overstock stuff, close-dated food items, etc. It made me laugh, so the name stuck despite the fact that I adore G.O. for their usually low prices and weird selection. I save hundreds … Read more
To Bring Or Not To Bring…
Once upon a time, I offered my daughter the chance to go with me on my zany adventure, because she really, really wanted to go. I explained how hard it would be and how much walking was involved and she still wanted to go. I told her she would need to train with me every … Read more

For example, I hopped on the scale this morning, and was surprised to find that I have lost 28 pounds since I started training, and 33 … Read more
7.86 Miles! Way to Kick the Holiday Doldrums in the Butt!
(And my German Shepherd is a super wuss.) After feeling super lethargic yesterday due to all the holiday consumption and lack of movement/exercise, today I vowed to myself that I would kick ass. I’m happy to report that I did. I brought my Dante dog with me to Nadaka Park, which is a great park … Read more

Six! Six Miles Walked, Ah ha ha ha!
Sorry. I was channeling the Count from Sesame Street there, for a moment. Actually, I walked 6.15 miles. But, eh, close enough. I’m soo happy! Nary a blister, too. Though my feet were pretty sore by the time I finished. And I had to take a couple of five-minute breathers along the way. Not because … Read more
