Happy early New Year! I didn’t sleep well at all last night. I felt like I had a fever. I was hot, I was cold, I was confused about where I was and the time. It wasn’t fun. I woke up around 8:30 wanting to do JIllian Michaels’ No More Trouble Zones, but I thought [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 2009 recap on December 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ok, I’m really milking this year-end stuff (see Recaps I, II, and III), but I think reflection is important! Here’s what I’ve learned in 2009: 1. I can do anything I set my mind to. This for me is the biggest one. Around this time last year I decided, like every other person on this [...]
Hypothermia: Hell no

I woke up this morning determined to run. Not really sure why since my cold (sinus infection?) is only getting worse and my computer said it was a toasty 9* outside. I thought it was perhaps best to wait a little while before setting out on the run and by 11am it was a balmy [...]

Wondering what I’m doing with all my days off from work? Yeah, me too. But productive things have been accomplished! I have been wanting to try a Green Monster for a while, but I’ve been afraid. I don’t really like spinach and I have major texture issues with food. But, I decided that today was [...]

First, some housekeeping. I finally bought my own URL so update Google Readers and such to www.pickyandhealthy.com. — As you saw on my Christmas recap I received a bunch of gifts that are directly related to fitness. Because of that I thought I’d do a little review here. First, the Spibelt When this arrived it [...]
Things I’ve Been Meaning to Say

There have been a few things I keep forgetting to post about in other posts so I thought I’d assemble them all together here. First, the night splint I got from the orthopedist is an amazing miracle. Since I started sleeping in it I’ve had virtually no ankle pain! My ankle has still be swelling, [...]
Half Marathon

You might have seen me post on Twitter or subtlety slip into this post that I want to run a half marathon in April. You might also remember that my goal as of recently was to train for and run a 10k in the spring. However I’ve decided that might not be ambitious enough. In [...]

Our gifts still say they’re from Santa I opened my stocking which had candy and some other goodies And then we passed out gifts And then we [...]
Christmas Eve

First, I just need to vent. I guess physical therapy isn’t covered by my insurance like I had thought so it now looks like I owe substantial amounts of money. At least $500, probably closer to $1,000, maybe more. And even more if I continue to keep going (which doesn’t look like an option). My [...]
