Missing in Action. July 29 to August 9.

If you were to judge my workouts based on the number of posts I have published recently, you would seriously believe I have been doing NOTHING. But that is not the truth at all. I did miss a few days while away in Fredericksburg, and as of this writing, I have not worked out since [...]

Abbrevs. Not my fave.

A long time ago, in a different incarnation,  I lived in the little mountain town of Revelstoke, British Columbia. During my time there, I met a transplanted American,  a woman named Anne, and we became quite good friends. She had a wonderful sense of humour and an ability to not only stand being teased, but [...]

I Heart Josh, Version 2.0. And a Bit of Cardio. A Very Little Bit.

Saturday was a busy day for me, prepping and packing for Canada, so my free time was limited. I decided to skip the gym and opted instead for a 2 hour-long massage session with one of my favourite people. For various reasons, it had been a while since I had seen Josh, and I have [...]

The Adventures of… Cranky Girl. Friday January 22 Workout.

After today’s session, I won’t be training with my cohorts for a while. Monday, I head to Canada and while there, my weight training will be done on my own. So I was doubly pleased that Jae made it in for a rare late-week workout – she doesn’t usually make our Friday sessions. My regular [...]

Back to basics. Monday, January 11 Workout.

A little chest, a little back, a little cardio. And a little late with the posting! But a nice way to start a week. Nothing over the top, just a good, solid workout. As usual, I enjoyed the company of my training partners; but Jae confirmed tonight that she starts coaching softball at the end [...]

Friday Night, Just Me and the Guys…

So there we were, Barry, Charlie and I, hanging out together on a Friday night. Sounds like the start of a beer commercial, doesn’t it? But not a chance. We were congregated in the cardio area warming up for a session with Mike. It was dead quiet -  apart from our group, there were only [...]

A Tale of Two Lockers. And Payback for my Brattishness. December 9 Workout

I am not exactly the world’s shyest person, and as a result, most people who spend time around me are well-acquainted with all my likes and dislikes. This can lead to some interesting little squabbles at times… like in the recent case of the locker wars… I have had an ongoing feud with one of [...]

Happy Birthday Josh.

And thanks for the birthday present of your extra time. I like that system! I wish you a wonderful day,  a wonderful year – and most importantly, enough time to thoroughly enjoy all of your sins! Cheers, mate!

Welcome Back, Jae. Workout # 2, November 4.

Up until a few months ago, I had a regular training partner in the gym. For a year and a half, Jae and I trained together every Monday and Wednesday evening (winters) and Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings (summer). When we originally started together, we were training during the daytime. But Jae is a high [...]

Rest Day. The Extreme Version.

Have I ever mentioned that I adore Josh? Okay, yeah… but have I ever mentioned just how much? No? Well then, this little story might help set the record straight. After my semi-disastrous run last night (detailed in yesterday’s post), I went home, changed and headed out to dinner with D. A plateful of hot [...]
