After months of excuses, real (moving, swine flu, pneumonia) and not (too busy, too tired, too many other things to do) I went back to working out this week. Monday was 45 minutes on the treadmill. A puff of the old inhaler and I was good to go. Tuesday was…oh yeah, didn’t make it to [...]

Ah, the holiday season. A chance to spend time with loved ones….eating. A time to go out and celebrate. And eat. A time to have more excuses to stuff your face than any other time of the year.

I got up this morning and got dressed to go to the gym. But am I at the gym? Nope. I’m Twittering and emailing, and blogging, and reading some of the blogs that I like. But I am wearing exercise clothing — which must count for something. (Doesn’t intent burn calories?) I am moving my [...]

You know the kid who was always picked last for teams in gym class? Or at least last of the not-totally-loser kids? Did you ever wonder what happened to that kid? Did she grow up to be a world-class athlete? Did she channel her athletic frustrations into intellectual pursuits and become a famous professor, writer, [...]
