Wow...it's week fourteen. Where is the time going? Spring is here which means that being out in the gorgeous weather brings special joy to my running. I Love running underneath the cherry blossoms and looking up into the pinkiness or the whiteness and just inhaling the scent and the sight!One of the benefits of getting out running every day is that often I get to run with Roy. Now he's not always the most enthusiastic runner, and on long runs he accompanies me on a bike. It just means so m...

Wow, is it week nine already? That must mean spring is right around the corner!One of the reasons I choose to exercise and watch what I eat is my blood pressure. It's always been low, but that doesn't mean it can't rise!
In fact, I'm going to switch gears a little here in relation to blood pressure. While I know that eating right and exercising definitely will benefit my blood pressure long term, so will limiting stress. Those who know me well know two things about me. (Well, they kno...
