Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic) – Kenny Rogers

Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic)!  How could you not include “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers in an eclectic musical tribute?  The song is genius with quotes to use for days!  I love old Kenny when he looked human (the man is now the poster boy for bad plastic surgery behind Mickey Rourke) and before he was known on Seinfeld for his chicken.

Here it is, the song, the legend and the lyrics of life:

The Low-Down on FitSocial 2013

I’m sorry that I was MIA most of last week (and late this week).  I have 2.5 excuses that I hope can be forgiven:

  • The posts I planned to write last week were curtailed by the dead ChromeBook I discovered in the Denver airport on my way home from FitSocial.  My post today was very late due to laptop difficulties (electronics are not my friend right now).
  • Last Monday – Wednesday we had guests visiting that took Jay and I to a very special event that I’ll be posting about on Friday (and it had to do with this famous NYC stage).

Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic) – John Denver

You might have noticed that there was no post yesterday.  My planned post was delayed when I opened my ChromeBook in the airport waiting for my flight home from #FitSocial (which was fun – detailed posts to come) and it looked like this:

Forgive me but I couldn’t write when I got home because I was wiped out from the conference.  Please know that I’ll be sharing some great stuff in the near future but until I can write more, enjoy today’s Tunes For […]

5 Awesome Things About Fitsocial

I’m taking a page from my friends AJ @ConfessionsOfAFatGirl and Chris @WhatIRunInto and doing a “Five For Friday” type of post because from Thursday through Sunday, I’ll be attending the FitSocial Conference in Colorado and I wanted to share 5 of the reasons why I know the conference is going to be awesome.

Getting Over The Out-And-Back Run

Running in LA is different than it is in New York.  The town where I live in LA is near where the fictional characters of The Big Bang Theory live.  If I knew I could see Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Wolowitz on the streets near me, I might be motivated to do the out-and-back run more often.  I’m sorry but Penny wouldn’t even get me off the couch.
