Have you ever set a fitness goal, achieved that goal, and then gone back to your previous not-as-active habits…even though you were hoping that the fitness goal would inspire an ongoing change in your exercise behavior?
Exercise is one of those activities that gives you an outsized return on your investment. When you spend time exercising, you experience benefits that are not necessarily contained in or confined to the time you are exercising.
Until this past weekend, it had been a year and a half since I ran more than 17 miles at once. I had to look back at my training logs to confirm the date, mileage, and pace because I couldn’t remember if I had run that distance in the absence of a fall marathon goal race in 2019 (I knew I hadn’t run that distance in 2020).
Spring is almost here. Next weekend, we’ll spring ahead to adjust for Daylight Saving Time in Ohio, and the following Saturday will mark the equinox. I’m so excited! Warmer temps are coming! 🥰
On Saturday evening, my family got together via Google Meet to play Yahtzee. The last time we tried this, each of us kept score on our own. This time, my sister created a scorecard in Excel and shared her screen while keeping track of our scores electronically during the game.

Happy 2021! 🥳 The world is full of possibilities — today and every day — and, if we’re lucky, we just might have a bit more energy and motivation to accomplish our goals at this time of year.
The snow is beautiful when it’s falling and still relatively undisturbed, isn’t it? When the light reflects off of the white powder, the world is brighter. If only we could leave the snow as it is when it covers everything…
What a windy weekend. And the rain, hail, and power outages, too. Wow! We didn’t lose our power; I hope that you didn’t either (or if you did, it has since been restored). Speaking of which, we expected to lose power.
Can you hear it? (“Who, who? Who, who?”) It’s been years since I’ve seen a CSI episode, but I can hear the theme song in my mind right now (and will probably be humming the tune all day). So, who are you?
