The week started with a work-related trip to Sedona for one of my favorite clients, Pink Adventure Tours. I had the presence of mind to take my bike with me. I had charted a 20-mile route through Boynton Canyon (similar to the route I had run during my tough half-marathon in Sedona earlier this year). […]

Sedona Half Marathon 2017 Race Report
Looking pretty comfortable but reigning havoc on #mindbodysoul The tough Sedona Half Marathon is in the books. There was nothing flat about the course. Nothing. Either you were going up or you were going down. You can blame the gorgeous red mountains surrounding the course or simply blame gravity; either way you will be running […]
Day trip to Sedona
When we have friends and/or family visiting, we usually take them somewhere for a day-trip. Today, we took 2 cars (including Rahul/Janki’s van) to Sedona. It was a hectic but fun day. We started out at around 10:30AM from Scottsdale and reached Sedona in a couple of hours. In Sedona it was the usual visits […]

Baby Long-nosed Snake in Sedona
Early this morning, I saw this beautiful baby long-nosed snake right outside my room at L’Auberge de Sedona when I was returning from taking my pups for a walk. It as just a bit chilly out and the baby snake was obviously cold and lethargic. See the video, he looks disoriented! Today was a completely […]
L’Auberge de Sedona gave my puppies a goodie bag
Late this morning we packed up the dogs and left for Sedona for a quick mini-vacation at L’Augerge de Sedona. It is a lovely resort right on Oak Creek. With the prices we are paying, I am expecting a perfect experience. The resort already falls a bit short in its service and grounds. While the […]
Dracula sucking my blood
Over the past two weeks, I have been tested for bloodwork umpteen times. It seems like every time I turn around, someone is poking a needle to draw blood. I can’t even pronounce the names of all the tests they have done on me. I have starting calling all the labs and hospitals Dracula because […]
A hike in Sedona | Sad news at BikeMS
Missy cooling off in Oak Creek, Sedona I was to ride the Bike MS event in Cottonwood / Sedona today. Since I am in no shape to ride even 20 miles or ride any distance outdoors, I dropped out. Instead, 4 of us (me, Binita, my mom and B’s mom) went to Sedona with the […]
