mettre à jour

No. It is not a spam post. On the contrary, - it means "updates" in french...It was a crass effort to bring some life back to the blogpage. :)

I believe its been a lull spring, with not many posts springing... I hope the blog has done its job and turned us all hail and healthy and fit... Or not??

Anyways, here are some updates from me -

• N and I have been on a running spree, irrespective of rain/frost/sun/cloud (touch wood!). And hopefully we will not suck at the 5K event this sunday! (fingers crossed)
• Although, I have been running, I havent subjected myself to any stringent diet. Just following regular regime. an extra pizza slice means running an additional 0.25miles.
• I made a big blunder while making muffins. I didnt "butter" the butter-cups. I thought thats done automatically because it is called "butter-cups" in the first place. So I ended up losing a lot of cake to the paper.
•  I have been having a great time grilling, with the weather and all. Some efforts on 'butta' here. Otherwise grilled asparagus is the new love. And of course N's specials are awesome too.
•  Been gardening on and off. Tomato plants are in the offing. Yet to replant in the upside-down endeavor.
• Been escatic that I have lost 9 Lbs since jan. Wii fit vouched for it and recommends losing another 7 Lbs atleast to hit the "perfect" weight. Oh well.. thats not going to be easy I am sure!

Ladies, How about sending an update post our way? What you been upto?

Food for thought -

There is a 10K run for women in october. I know most of us have no idea where we will be around that time. But do give it a thought and let me know. It will be great if I can do it with company? again the course is charles river. So do keep it in mind and let me know if anyone is interested?

Run Baby Run - Update

Its great to see some wonderful progress on the miles! Though i admit, I grossly underestimated the miles :-)

I bet many of the participants are going to zoom past the required 95 way before the end of the year!

So here are a few things to note -

• I have created a spreadsheet to make it easier to track your miles on a everyday basis. Here is the link to it. The link is also available below the label of Run Baby Run on the left bottom of the blog where the mile meter is. I will be checking the spreadsheet every Friday and updating the mile-meter.
• You can continue way beyond 95 miles and the mile meter would simply show over a 100%. I bet we all love that. So i am not changing the miles or requirements. Let keep the good work going!

I am thinking of adding a mini-challenge part of the mile meter. Since its possible to get weary of the treadmill and other such indoor recycled air workouts, we can aim to do an activity other than machines and play some games. Be it squash, BB, FB, badminton anything you dig. The challenge is to aim to be part of at least one sport activity every week. Let me know if you have other ideas to build towards the mile-meter...

Happy workout everyone!
