Since I blog daily, sometimes my posts are repetitious. It’s like life. People tend to do the same thing at the same time on the same day over and over again. For example, a lot of religions Christians go to church on Sunday mornings week after week after week. A lot of bicycle enthusiasts go […]

When the medicine ball breaks
I’ve been talking about the weather a lot lately. That’s because it has been rainy and dreary and cold here in Scottsdale. Usually when my friends call from un north and ask about the weather, I say “What weather?” Not so lately… Jamie’s class rocked as usual. It was an hour of thumping music with […]
Spectacular sunset and a rockin’ cardio-sculpt class
Sunsets in Arizona are amazing. I have seen tons of spectacular sunsets will brilliant hues of orange, pink and purple. When there is a light layer of scattered clouds during sunset, the colors come alive. As you can see from the picture above, today’s sunset was exhilarating! Right after I saw it, I went for […]
Jaime’s class gets some Twitter action
Today was my first real workout since the New York Marathon. I went to The Village for Jaime’s cardio-sculpt class. She’s one tough cookie. With some crazy pumpin’ music, my heart was thumping to level 4 at times. As usual, it was a combination of sprints, weights, jumps, burpees, squats, lunges, balances, pushups, twists, etc. […]
Running with Alicia Keys in New York
I will be one of more than 50,000 runners at the New York Marathon on November 1. The fastest runners (Kenyans and Ethiopians) will finish in about 2 hours and 10 minutes. I will take around 3 hours and 45 minutes to finish. Last year, the average finish time was more than 4 hours and […]
Loving the new Ghetto Gangsta shoes
My new NYC Marathon Asics shoes arrived today. They are too heavy to lace up for running, but are totally gansta ghetto and I love them. I won’t be running any races wearing them. They do make a fashion statement though (I realize as I write this that I have zero sense of fashion)! I […]
Sister Moon wine for a supermoon bloodmoon lunar eclipse
There was a full lunar eclipse tonight. The moon was blood red. It is the only supermoon full lunar eclipse of the decade. If you missed it, you’ll have to wait another 18 years for one! Binita took out Sister Moon wine by Sting (the singer). We had bhel, drank Sister Moon and watched the […]
Hard morning run, hard evening cardio training
6.4 miles in DC Ranch – Intervals It was absolutely gorgeous this morning. Last night’s thunderstorm cleaned out all the pollutants from the air leaving behind the crisp clear breathable air. It was perfect temperature too! Ethel’s Garden in Silverleaf Since I skipped my interval training yesterday, I went out running this morning around the […]
Inaugurate new shoes and new Superfeet
It was a lazy Sunday today. I fully intended to go to the Lifetime Tempe Triathlon but was too lazy to wake up early and make the trek down to Tempe. Instead, I stayed in bed until around 8:30AM. After yesterday’s 14-mile run, I slept hard and didn’t have the motivation to wake up early. […]
Signed up for a 10k in Tempe
When I was a member at Lifetime Fitness, I used to go to spin class regularly. I used to sweat profusely and never thought I would find a workout that would make me sweat more. Well I have found one! The cardio sculpt class with Jamie at The Village on Wednesday evenings leaves me completely […]
