I can’t take [...]

Push-Up Challenge, Day 3

I began day 3 three with a set of 12 manly pushups.  After resting 60 seconds, I then attempted 17 manly push-ups, which was no easy task.  I must admit, I fell to the floor around the twelfth one, but once I regained my composure and my strength, I finished the set.  Next, I did [...]

Life’s a Beach

Looking forward to a sunrise run along the beach, I laid all my running gear out the night before to prepare for my early morning run.  Then, a storm rolled through Clearwater early this morning, which dampened any desire for a sunrise run.
 
Once the rain passed, I ran out the door for a quick three miles along [...]

Waisting Away Again in Margaritaville

My bags are packed and I’m ready for the beach.  I’ve got a towel, sunblock, my cute little sundresses and my very teeny bikini. 
 
For me, long days spent on the beach brings lots of beer drinking, which leads to a big ‘ol beer belly bulging over my itty bitty bikini bottom.  Well, that simply won’t [...]
