Happy birthday, Miriam!  My sister Miriam turns 32 today.  She’s my twin sister, of course, so that means today is my 32nd birthday, too.  That’s how it works when you’re identical twins.  Do you think we look alike?

Just showing off my math skills. And letting you know how many miles I ran this weekend! I actually ran just over six miles on Saturday (gorgeous day here) and approximately 4.1 miles on Sunday, so the total is slightly more than ten miles, but who’s counting? (I am.) I then spent the rest of [...]

1. Saturday morning weigh-in: I gained five pounds this week. What the what? Either it’s five pounds of muscle (oh sure) or my scale is broken (clearly). 2. I got a new medication for the ‘flux a few weeks ago. After picking it up from the pharmacy, I realized it was in gel cap form, [...]
