Feelin’ All The Feels!

It was a week with all kinds of feels in my midst.

The weather was “seasonal,” which is to be expected. The workouts tested my muscles (and a few may have had me questioning some life decisions, LOL). And there was a full moon! 

Just Keep Moving Forward!

Talk about your action-packed weeks!

Of course, that’s the way (uh huh, uh huh) I like it.   

Biking and walking were both vying for center stage. Strength training had some moments. A new July challenge started. And, running staged a rally-back. All was well as the summer heat (and requisite humidity) ushered us into the new month and Independence Day weekend.

A Star-Spangled Coffee Chat

All is well, and there’s a big USA holiday to celebrate!

Shall we have a quick coffee chat before the festivities commence? Even if we don’t have much time to catch-up, it’s great to have this (virtual) time together. 

So, let’s gather, and share a few laughs and some conversation…

When the Damp Runs Deep

Hello, summer heatwave!

Yowza! We all knew it was bound to happen, but the first heatwave of 2025 arrived on the scene rather quickly, and brought a lot of dampness with its punch. We’re talking lots of rain (causing flooding in what had been barren streams and valleys) and heavy humidity (that lasted most of the week).

Suffice it to say my hair spent most of the week off my (sweaty) face and in a messy bun (disguising the dreadful humidity-driven flatness and frizz). You do what you gotta do, right?

Shall we drop a few ‘Fessions?

Well, here we are again.

How is it the summer season is already breezing (practically) past us? It seems like we were just at the  ‘Fessional, coming clean on a few (or several) transgressions and whatnot. Yet, it’s time to partake, again, and wipe our soles (and souls) clean.

If you don’t mind, I’ll get the party started…

Awaiting Summer’s (official) Arrival…

It was a week of “heated” anticipation, quite in the literal sense.

After a crazy spring season, Summer finally made its official entrance this week. I, for one, welcomed it with open arms. It’s my favorite season, after all, and it seemed like it would never get here.

This week brought plenty of heat, especially towards the weekend. We also had a much-needed showing of rain, though my area is still under a water advisory. Oh, and the humidity returned as well. Two outta three ain’t bad, LOL.

Bacon, Bikes & Bliss - 2025 Baccoon Ride

I’m always up for a fun fitness adventure, and I’m grateful to have friends who share the same sentiment.

If there was an event that combined fitness (like cycling, for example), food (maybe bacon?) and a great venue (I’m thinking a favorite trail)…wouldn’t it be a grand time if a favorite friend joined you for the festivities? Add the camaraderie of fellow cycling enthusiasts (with plenty of sunscreen on standby) and you’d have the makings of a fabulous day…
