I'm shocked at myself that I let 9 days go between postings ..... there was a time when I posted every day. I'm not feeling very inspired these days. All is well though. Work is incredibly busy. It is busy in a good challenging way. I've been enjoying the new work brought about by the re-org. I've really started getting integrated into the new teams - what started out as three separate departments and teams a couple of months ago are now starting to blend. I was really happy when members of different teams organized a group lunch for next week. I am so lucky - I like and respect every single person on each team. They are just amazing.
With the nice weather, I am starting to run longer distances again. Also trying to get back to the gym more regularly - I seem to go in cycles - for a while I am really good and then something happens to break my routine. Then it is an effort to get regular again.
On the weekend, I went to a book signing by someone who had written a fitness book - something I'd never done before - it was inspiring though. This woman is 45 and has 3 kids - she has a better body than most 20 year olds - and she only started working out when she was 40. At one time she weighed over 200 pounds. It is never too late. And very much worth the effort.
I am off work for the rest of the week - taking a course - it is a certification course with an exam to pass. I'm looking forward to being out of the office for several days though.
Lots of things to write about ... I'll try to catch up on some of the things that I've been doing.
Oh, good. I was starting to worry that winter had eaten you.

What book was it? It sounds inspring, and I could use some inspiration along those lines!

Doh --"inspiring". My spelling has gone down the tubes!

I will keep my fingers crossed about the certification test. I am sure that you will do swimmingly!! Glad to see you posting again...
Best, Kimberley

The book is called 'The Butt Book' - it is by Tosca Reno - it is in affiliation with Oxygen Magazine - a monthly fitness magazine which is quite good - I've been buying it for a few years and finally started a subscription recently. The book is quite good - but not as good as seeing her in person. She looks amazing - for any age - but for 45 and 4 kids - especially so. Good Luck Ana.

Thanks Wendy, although I guess I have some other things to take care of before worrying about the butt!

And to provide the appropriate juxtaposition: I too went to a book signing, but it was by one of my favorite food authors, Ruth Reichl. All the more reason to need YOUR book in the near future!! Looking forward to hearing more as you move forward into spring, Wendy.

Hehehe, Well staying at Blogger didn't last to long. So went back to Typepad. You can laugh. This time I got very bold and got a domain for the site. And somehow I got to work too. I didn't know what I was doing. So the blog is now at www.thequietone.net Cathy
