Starting up A Gym Routine
A much appreciated break from the humid weather today. Still warm, close to the low 80s I think, but much more comfortable. Mid-afternoon, after my school appointments, I changed my clothes and headed out to my car, where I happened to run into the downstairs neighbor stepping out of hers. Looking tired. She asked where [...]
Here We Come, Beacon Hill Athletic Club…
So S. and I are going to do it. Thanks to a pretty great temporary membership deal through the Groupon website (20 full-access visits for less than $30), get ready for us, Beacon Hill Athletic club! Time to get in some better shape for summer travel.
We strolled into the Brookline Village location this late afternoon [...]
Memorial Day Weekend
You know it’s been a pretty good Memorial Day weekend when:
The weather’s been perfect, ranging from the mid 60s to mid 70s. Even a welcome short burst of heavy rain Saturday afternoon, causing friend C. and me to duck into stores along Centre St. instead of the planned walk around the Jamaica Pond. Trying hats [...]
When The Weather Gets Like That, You Have to Get In It
Feeling pretty lucky to have that back porch these days– with the electric grill primed up for use, the small patio table wiped down (man, all that pollen), and the potted plants–a hanging fuscia basket and a surprisingly healthy honeysuckle plant–rounding out the sense of home extended outdoors. A grilled dinner in the early [...]
Evening Walk in the Arboretum
Sometimes an early to mid evening walk through the nearby Arboretum, among the lilac bushes in particular, is all you need to shake off a day. A lovely time to be out. Reminds you to enjoy the spring.
Doing the Minuteman Bikeway
A great bike ride today with friend L. and a few others, literally taking the full day. Let’s just say that I wasn’t planning on the 55 mile ride that it turned out to be. Beginning from Jamaica Plain to Somerville, and then out on the Minuteman Bikeway to its end in Bedford, and on [...]
The First Bike Ride of the Season
You have to love, and then feel the pain of, and then love again the first bike ride of the spring season.
A good meet up with former Watertown roommates for a late breakfast in Newton Center. Then pumped up the bike tires, wiped down the frame and went on my way this afternoon. Bright [...]
XC Ski Trip to Bretton Woods, NH
Headed up north to New Hampshire this weekend for a XC skiing / yoga retreat with the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). Enticing mix, no? Bretton Woods skiing and staying at the impressive Highland Center Lodge. Early morning yoga sessions. The loveliness of meeting, eating and sleeping with strangers (wait, that sounded a little odd…heh). Especially [...]
One Week of Daily Walking Down…
S. and I have started walking every day as of late. It coincides with the New Year’s resolution variety of new routines, but in fairness to this nascent habit, we started talking about it earlier than the turn of the new year. (so there!)
Here’s the scoop– Dr. Oz (whose 7 minute workout routine I very [...]
