  • Saturdays in Suburbia

    Some of you may remember that I was scheduled for the Bluemont Vineyard 5k today. Well – Scott had to go to NYC yesterday for business and will not be home until this afternoon – so I had to bow out of it. I was bummed until yesterday when I realized that Thursday’s Plumbline workout…

  • And she’s back!

    Good Morning! Plumbline Training is outside for the season and it felt great! Lots more room to move and we can resume the finish as fast as you can routine which for me, always burns more calories and gives me a much better workout. I needed to feel renewed. My back is probably 98% better…

  • Here’s to getting back at it

    I really wanted to go for a run today. I got up quicker than normal, got dressed in my running stuff and came downstairs to start my day with a cup o joe.  Scotty said good morning – I would prefer you not go running today because I worry that you will hurt your back…
