    Well, my goodness! I’ve been looking forward to your Birthday all month and almost forgot to wish you well! I hope you’re still celebrating! I love the “delay a birthday” campaign. Will beat the drum for ya and send in what I can. Thanks for inspiring us in fitness (for 30+ years) and for all [...]

    What beautiful photos! Celebrating your Diamond Jubilee all month! Hope you have a glorious Bday! Been a while since I’ve stopped by – crazy year! Happy to be starting the New Year about 20 lbs lighter than last year (assuming I escape the holidays relatively unscathed). Just curious – as a culture, what sorts of [...]

    So sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Sounds like you had some great times! Thanks for sharing your memories of Veronique, the French version of a Steel Magnolia, no doubt.

    Magical, isn’t it? My office was directly across from the Drake. Had a view of the lake from the One Mag Mile bldg. Not sure how we ever got anything done during the summer Our “peak” season of drudgery was in the winter, so summers were good old 9-5 shifts (except when the Cubs had [...]

    So glad I’ll be able to get my “Fonda Fix” on opening day (before I pedal off to my doom on Ride the Rockies this weekend). Nervous Nellie- never ready for this. Wish we could raise funds for WMC while I’m at it. Will tweet the mileage log from the road if you want to [...]

    Last week was 50th Anniversary of my Texas HS drill team (they celebrated the 20th when I was 16 – YOU do the math!) Our director came, as did my fellow officers from early ’80s. We offered to do an alumnae dance, but the current director declined (expected a bunch of tubby old women with [...]

    I knew this day was coming! Quite a milestone. Congrats! I need a fresh copy (of everything)! Where shall we hold the Blogfest? Celebrate the fact that there are many of us who worked out with you then and are back at it now (and some of us are only half way through Act II). [...]

    Whoaaa! Got a ways to go! Took hubby out for 25 mile spin yesterday n did quick 15 miles before dinner. Truth be told, yesterday felt like nothing, but glad to get hubby suited up. He hasn’t ridden road bike in 30 years (or even mtn bike in 5). Meanwhile, I need climbing n longer [...]

    I think we’ll have one “century ride” day with some climbing involved. We start in Gunnison, go through Aspen and Indpendence Pass, Leadville, Granby, Estes Park (including Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mtn Natl Park) and finish in Ft. Collins. NOT ready, but I will be! Why did I know you had a sordid cycling [...]

    OK, well, somehow that worked. Hmmmm. Anyway, been training up a storm. Did I mention Fit & Strong is both a good warmup AND a perfect counter to a really lonnnnggggg bike workout? Yes ma’am. Bought hubby a bike for his birthday, poor thing. He made it 25 miles on the first ride, even though [...]

    So glad you have such great friends to get you over the rough spots. What a blessing! As I was skiing (on the most glorious day of the season) at Beaver Creek today, two things went through my mind. 1) Should I tell anyone that I left the teen kids home, walked away from a [...]

    Thank you for sharing this. Whitney would have been pleased that her dearest friends were all together to celebrate her life and mourn her loss as a family.

    Man o man, we’ve kept this thread rolling! Loved Trim, Tone & Flex DVD, too! Used 8 lb weights, no chair, no towel (haha, showoff!) Been working on balance in a mind-blowing yoga class and am pretty darn solid (and I love it when you call yourself out on this). Great workout & stretch – [...]

    Jane (and Lety) I’m with you on NOT dieting. Gets tricky when your activity level dips and turns and eating habits don’t. I’ve been down the road of “balanced diet” meaning rotating amongst fast foods all week. It wasn’t pretty. Planning meals, snacks on the go and keeping bottled water in the car helps a [...]

    Dear Sweet Jane, (you don’t have to post, this is for you) – I just love your updates, the conversational way in which you write, and how even with all your worldly experiences, you still take the time to marvel at the little things (I do that a lot, too). You do realize that Vanessa [...]

    Jane, Again, don’t post- I’m all over this thread. Sorry…. Just a quick note to say how much it sickens me to read these horrible posts from Vietnam vets on FB & Twitter. Do you have a friendly lawyer who can smack this stuff down? I hate it that these people have a voice online [...]

    These are great! We don’t have YOU in the pics, though. Even though I worked a bridal show, skied 4 mountain resorts, sponsored a luncheon, put away Christmas and cleaned the entire house, feels like nothing happened last week. Actually, one of the highlights was watching 9to5 with my daughter. Ever notice your “ballerina run” [...]
